'''Honda XL250''' is a four stroke 250cc [[motorcycle]] from [[Honda]] introduced in 1972 and manufactured through most of the 1980's. It is an "[[enduro]]" or "dual purpose" bike meaning it physically looks like a dirt bike, and shares many characterstics with a dirt bike, but it is [[street legal]]. The bike is completely mechanically operated as there are no hydraulics on the bike. The 250cc motor produces 24 [[horsepower]] and the bike weighs 288lbs with oil, grease, and gasoline. Fuel capacity is 2.388 gallons. Demand for this model has remained high among collectors and enthusiasts. | '''Honda XL250''' is a four stroke 250cc [[motorcycle]] from [[Honda]] introduced in 1972 and manufactured through most of the 1980's.
