Here is our new Yamaha XT 350 for riding the dirt. I wanted something light weight, dirt oriented, street legal, and that wouldn't break the bank. After some research, I narrowed it down to the Suzuki DR 350 or Yamaha XT 350. I have always been a Yamaha fan so I went that route. After logging a couple hundred miles on the bike, I am happy to report its exactly what I was wanting. I can pick this bike up without a jack or hoist, it sits lower to the ground so I can reach the ground with both feet, and loves to play in the dirt.
