Test riding a 2023 Yamaha YZ250 2 stroke. Even though this bike is essentially outdated 2006 technology, it's still an amazing dirt bike and I'm shocked how much I enjoyed it. This test ride really has me contemplating if I want to get a YZ250 for the 2024 riding season. Hope you enjoy the video and please let me know what you think in the comments.

    I just got a 23 Yz250 and I agree with absolutely everything you said Yamaha YZ gang for life baby!!

    The Pro Tapers on my 1997-2003 Yamaha YZ125’s & YZ250’s were all filled with silicone which dampened vibration & absorbed a substantial amount of impact, I think, ultimately, that was my secret weapon against arm pump

    Nice Vid man and at one of my favorite places to ride. Love the 2 smokers, raced cr125 and cr250's when I was young. Thinking I might need another 2 stroke, but we will see how I feel when I get my crf250r back together with the 270 kit that showed up yesterday.

    What is technology? Is a fuel injected, complicated four stroke with electric start the best technology? Or maybe high tech is actually a 20 year old 2 stroke that has fewer moving parts, weighs less and costs less to maintain but makes more power per CC than a 4 stroke.

    I’m thinking of getting a 125 50th anniversary as a first dirt bike

    Man I want a yz250 bad!
  • @Declan_conlan
    Really good video, couple questions Would u rather an older 06-21 model or 22-24 model because they changed them slightly? And would you prefer a new fuel injected ktm?

    The vibration is only thing that is a drawback..wish Yamaha would make a counter balance motor..
