== Overview ==

Yamaha XG 250 Tricker























Designed as a cross between a mountain
bike and a motorcycle, the
Yamaha Air Tricker sure looks cool. First shown back in 2005, the
Tricker concept is powered by a liquid-cooled, single-cylinder,
four-stroke, five-valve 249cc engine and has a five-speed gearbox.

The 88kg bike can seat one person, and runs on 21-inch (front) and
18-inch (rear) wheels, shod with dual-purpose tyres. The handlebar can
turn a full 360-degrees and the chassis is made of carbonfibre.
Theres also BMX-style Öhlins front forks and semi side link rear
suspension, both of which were specifically engineered for this bike.

If it looks like a BMX bike with a motor, you have already got
the idea. Available in Japan for a few years already, the Yamaha Tricker is now
a production model in Europe.
At a claimed weight of 260 pounds, the air-cooled 249cc
Tricker probably rides a bit like a BMX bike, as well.


Review
Bike manufacturers face a problem: not enough young people are getting into
bikes. So Yamaha did some research and found that potential young riders like
wheelies and customising. Their response? Develop a cheap, light bike that's
good for stunts and can be customised. The result is the Tricker.
Power comes from an air-cooled, 249cc single-cylinder engine making a modest
19bhp at 7500rpm. With 35mm forks, single discs front and rear, plus narrow
wire-spoked wheels, the spec sounds like a typically dull commuter bike's, but
where the Tricker differs is in its style. The bars are wide, the diagonally
mounted tank is tiny, and the skinny
seat and wheels add to the look of a bike that would be as at home in the local
skate park as in the high street.
The Tricker's built for city streets, though, so Yamaha held its launch in
Amsterdam. The little air-cooled single motor might not make much power but it's
incredibly easy to use, with enough low- and mid-range torque for effortless
riding no matter what your level of experience. A balancer shaft meant the motor
was also very smooth. The Tricker zipped up to 65mph easily enough on the
dual-carriageway leading from Yamaha's HQ, sounding a bit thrashy but keeping up
with the busy traffic, though the firm seat became uncomfortable after just half
an hour.
Once into the city the Yam was in its element, flicking through traffic,
dodging past bicycles and giving a good view thanks to its tall riding position
and excellent mirrors. Despite being quite wide the Tricker was supremely
manoeuvrable. Suspension was on the soft side, which was helpful when nipping up
kerbs or going over potholes, and not a problem the rest of the time.
Ironically the thing the Tricker wasn't so good at was tricks. The engine
doesn't have enough torque to wheelie just with a twist of throttle, so needs
help with some revs and a dab of the clutch. And the tiny single 220mm front
disc isn't really powerful enough for stoppies. Despite its name and look, the
Tricker is more suited to short-range urban commuting, where its tiny six-litre
tank and skinny seat won't be a serious drawback.
One thing the Tricker is undoubtedly good for is personalising, thanks to a
list of more than two dozen accessories including bright yellow protectors for
handlebars, wheel axles, engine and swingarm.  Vissordown
