Big Bear 250 Semi-Auto 2x4
.jpg)
Make: YAMAHA
Model: YFM250
Year: Current
With no more capacity than a tea cup, surely a little 250 can’t accomplish much in the workplace, right ? Wrong.
This spritely and slick-shifting, blue-tailed fly has as many loyal operators as ever, and one ride will be enough to prove the old adage about good things… and small packages.
A free-revving 230cc air-cooled SOHC four-stroke single produces a smooth spread of low- and midrange power, matching neatly to a five-speed auto-clutch gearbox with ultra-low first gear for heavy-duty applications. In an all-day comfortable full-size chassis, quality suspension and powerful disc front brakes combine for responsive handling and superb mobility.
But manoeuvrability isn’t its only strength; with 75 kilos of rack carry capacity and a 330 kilo tow rating, Big Bear 250 more than pulls its weight. Don’t let the capacity (or the price) fool you – Big Bear 250 is a capable workhorse that suits the smaller jobs to a tea.
