Yamaha Route 66 Motorcycle - Street (1988-1990)

The Yamaha Route 66, also known as the XV250 in other markets, was a popular cruiser motorcycle offered in North America from 1988 to 1990. This model was characterized by its air-cooled, 249 cc V-twin engine, delivering 23 horsepower (16.9 kW) at 8000 rpm, paired with a 5-speed transmission. It was positioned as an accessible and reliable option for riders seeking a lightweight cruiser experience. Throughout its 1988-1990 production run, the Yamaha Route 66 maintained a consistent design and mechanical platform. There were no significant mid-cycle generation or engine changes during these specific years, and it was offered as a singular model without distinct trims. However, it is important to note that immediately following this period, the model was rebranded as the Yamaha Virago 250 starting in 1991, though its core engine platform remained largely unchanged for many years.
