This is a great shootout. Not gonna name any names but some shootouts get you to watch and then say oh ho check out our article and buy our magazine to find out!
awesome honda 😂😂
Vital...a thought on reviews, and this goes with every organization that reviews bikes. Every review should be done not only with Pro riders however should be done with all a C, B and A riders. All input from every level should be included for a true and honest review. Lets face it most consumers are C and B riders!
Jimmy Dierkes Thats what iam talking about!!
The results would be quiet different for sure!
But on the other hand, it is the best Review on YT
That's what they do... they get riders from all different skill levels, they show the clips of the pro riders because they are more entertaining to watch
Great review!
Excellent video thanks for putting the results
no surprises here. glad to see actual results !
i love this mx channel cause they aren't sponsored by anyone so they give us there true opinion like if u agree 👍
At the end of the day its the rider not the bike
Bob Smith until you get equivalent riders.
Honestly it’s all about suspension to me the better the suspension the more control you have which equals more speed I but personal preference plays a big role when it comes to power delivery
awesome review! thanks guys
great shootout
James Stewart took championships on those “slow” Suzuki’s 🤣🤣
Thank you for the video tho VITAL! Keep em coming, I got the Crf for 4900$ with one 2hour trail ride on it so I can’t complain! **Everything is stock and I do notice I’m having a hard time getting the speed up fast enough out of corners to clear bigger jumps, do I need to change my gearing ???????? It’s a 49T rear
James Stewart took zero championships on a Suzuki dumbass
Great job ML512!!!!
nice job with this vid, guys! results are key! thanks for the honesty and for not being politically correct about bikes that are intended to race! well done!!
Esa colección nada mas, es mi sueño. saludos
ktm is good but they are so damn expensive
I got the Kawasaki 250f 2017 and love it but waned a Ktm the only reason I didn't get it was because it has no kick start witch in my opinion is a bad thing
Hey everyone. I’m 16 and 6 foot tall. I’m looking to buy a 2017 250cc dirt bike, I have very little experience on a bike so what are all your recommendations?
Honda is on the right path but needs some consultants from over here. Glad to see another option. Love those hondas
I'm buthurt Honda got 5th
Me too 😂
Awesome video. Need a 450f video
Just a few more days. While you're waiting, click on the article in the link to check out the in-depth write up on the shootout, explaining how these choices were made.
I got to ride all the 2017 KTM bikes and they were all fun to ride. My opinion though was the 250sxf felt down on power even to my 2013 Kx250f. It surprised me. It was easy to ride but I was really disappointed with the power. The 350 and 450 though, those were amazing.
I have a 2017 kx250f and I love. I agree about the front forks, but I was able to tune them so that me and if my dad wanted to ride it, because he has a kx450f 2017, that we would both be confortable. So I think it's the best. but that's just my opinion, plus I haven't driven a husky or ktm
subbed cause you gave results not like another channel im not gonna name
so say i get a 17 yamaha then send my suspension out to be revalved i wouldnt have these problems or is it the actual frame and the shape of the bike frame that make it a little harder
Honda Crf
And
Ktm
hola saludos desde México
good video, can someone tell me which one is the best ?
Not sure I understand your joke...
so i race 85cc but want to make the move to the 125cc's but im very short for my age (5'1 18) and im wondering if i should get a 125 or a 150?
Ben Varley maybe even take a look at the KX supermini 105
Zach Peddie definitely looks good out there
Can any bodey tell me which dirtbike should i get the honda crf250r suzuki rmz250 or a Yamaha yz250f-fx or the husqvarna fc250 or the fe250 which one wont blow up becuse i dont want to have problems with it the year of them will be 2014-2017 hardly used thanks I appreciate it
Lunik Gjata get a Husqvarna fc250
All the dislikes are from the suzuki lovers 😂
Guys next spring im upgrading to a 250f. What should I get KX250F or YZ250f
Yz 250f best suspension
Haha funny thing is I like the Suzuki because I am not a speed demon or anything, I enjoy a easy relaxing bike to ride which doesn't have overwhelming power, I am fine with a slow relaxed ride. So the Suzuki for me is fine. In Racing though that's where it becomes a problem. But I don't race I just pleasure ride for fun, so the bike is amazing in my mind.
I can't stand Huskies or KTM, I am a Kawasaki or Suzuki fan till I die. With both Dirt Bikes and Quads I like Kawasaki and Suzuki.
Great review! However now the question is reliability...
522MotoFilms Yamaha bikes are great and their engines are the most strongest and most reliable out there. I have a yz250f and it has a ton of power and it's great.
Yamaha has the best spring forks in the 250 class so idk why they said something about the suspension
Braden G Also their engines are the strongest and most reliable.
for real, and for durability? id still go with YAMAHA... it revs my heart. brap!
Lol.. Pulp Show had some fun with you. Not bashing ya but they wailed on you guys for your insane picks.
***** would you like me to remind you what Pulp mx said? I didn't say you were insane. They did!
Jason Naughton Well this is a one sided shootout supporting fast guys, which is really good in some aspects. Guys like Lindsay ^^ want a high revving bike like the KTM. But on the other hand this shootout doesn't seem to be coping to opinions of slower riders, otherwise the kawi probably would have won, Yamaha second, etc. I guess just trust MXA because they have a wide skill variety in their test riders, but this shootout is true to the real racers among us.
Sean Mcmarr I agree somewhat to your opinion but as far as what the fast riders want. If you look at the recent Mini-O races, the majority of them, amateurs and pros rode the Yamaha. The proof is in the pudding right there that it covers the biggest range of skills and speed.
Jason Naughton Hell yeah man. Yamaha for life! 😂
The bikes, are they the same height? Especially the Yamaha and the KTM? Can you adjust the suspension for tall riders?
anyone could tell me all the bad specs about the 2017 kx250f
Rėîd Āštòñ there shit
why do ktm and husqvarna have two different places when the are the same bike?
The dude literally explained why they arent the same bike lol
OK but if you take them apart they are the same
one is just a better version
Dalton Volesky mostly the same*
The airbox makes a huge difference in how the engine behaves, and from what I hear the new huskys airbox choke it out a little and give boarder power.
Why no Alta Redshift?
tecschooldropout it isn't available for our testing yet. We also haven't done an individual test to evaluate if it would be competitive enough to place in the Shootout.
Thanks for the reply.
Vital MX what about tm racing
I'm looking to get my first 250 from my 150r I wan t to know what bike I should get
they're all basically the same, i say look for the best deal instead of s specific model
pick a colour ;)
Kawasaki seems to be pretty legit. I was able to ride one and it was very promising, power was well controlled and usable, as well as how it handled. Comes with black rims and is cheaper than the husky and ktm. I'm gonna go buy one soon
Nick Kolb Yu couldn't be more wrong lol
DirtBike DJ If you're in the market for a new 250 it makes more sense to look for the better deal than to be picky and choose brands.
I think the crf should have placed higher it was comfortable good out of corners and still had power to do all the things the others can but the yami had a bunch of negative comments
Harold Abrams Not really , the Yamaha had a better place in the line up and in the past the Yamaha's have dominated the shoot outs but all the bikes are good and I like Honda too.
The Yamaha in 4th place Vital, I always like you product; however, you are out of your mind....could tell you were hesitant and not sure of this decision just by hearing your delivery in your review........CRAZY
Jimmy Dierkes the Yamaha is a great bike bro but this review is a review on how you wheel the bike out of the dealership and only changing what's on the bike! If you race the first thing you'll do is get your suspension set up which obviously completely changes the feel.
These guys do amazing reviews and touch on every topic about the bike in great detail and they share the negatives where other magazines only share the positives
Finally the Kawasaki is back up to 3
I have a husky
#teamgreen
It's allways wins
For the Kawi who gives a crap if it's got bad front end traction. Your supposed to be getting up near the tank for cornering
of course the two most expensive bikes would win !!!
Kawi is not to good at the 450s but their 250s and 125s are great idk why their small bikes are so good but hopefully one day they can get the 450 the same I love riding my 125 aggressively and being able to turn the way it does so great is really awesome but my dad use to have a 450 kawi and said it's not the same feel as the 250 and 125 just bulky and slower feeling can't ride it aggressive
KTM and husky are the same
Michael Lindsay, excellent explanation. Thanks!
How did the KTM win, husky should of won because KTM brought husky and huskys are pretty much KTM's premium bike
I have ridden a 2017 kawi, a 2016 husky, and a ktm 250. The kawi is by far the best in my opinion. The power delivers faster than the husky and ktm. The husky And ktm takes too long to get going fast
This is a very bias shootout
The two best cornering bikes got last
And the most powerful gets 1st??
Makes no sense
I dont believe it at all- KTM & Husky is a inch away from being identical - if your a top pro then yes maybe your gonna see it differently
I’m from the future. Even in 2024 Suzuki still comes in last. Yeah you guys aren’t biased at all 😂.
I'm very surprised with the Yamaha this year. It's just ashamed
Potato Chip Gaming it just couldn't compete with ktm
Marcus Bevzyuk but even Kawasaki passed Yamaha
Potato Chip Gaming yea yamaha didn't do as good as it usually does, I honestly really like the feel of the kawasaki, if I were to get a Japanese bike, it would be a kawi, but I love my ktm 2 smoker
Marcus Bevzyuk yep I am a 13yr old riding a 2016 ktm 250 smoker everyone said it would be too much😂😂 it's not
Yea I love my bike
Why they remind me of Power Rangers
Kawasaki should be 1st cmon haha
no englis m'y traduction Google
👌👌👎👎
Ride the bikes yourself dont just listen or watch these shootouts. Yea there might need to be adjustments made on any bike but every person is different. I tried a 2017 ktm 250sxf and hated it. I have a 2017 yz250f and I couldn't own a better bike but that's just me.
Hi I want to buy a 2017 Yz250f myself, how is the maintenance on the bike? I am a amuture and don't need the fastest bike just a strong bike I ont have to rebuild every other month. cheers
Suzuki better update their bikes soon or else....
vertti syrjälä In 2018 their will be huge changes for the Suzukis
Vincent Sauer Good
You guys are just trying to help KTM and Husqvarna. No way they have jumped ahead of all the money, r/d and time the Japanese have put in. All about money, I'm not drinking the Kool aid.....
sounds like KTM has given them the most free stuff I bet haha
How the fuck did Ktm take first? That is the biggest piece of shit bike on the market
Why do you say that Chris? When is the last time you threw a leg over a KTM? I'm guessing your making your statement off of what you last read in the early 2000's. You know....bikes change over time...
Chris John Michael Weird, all the KTMs are dominating in thier classes now as per the reviews. I guess you know something everyone else doesn't?
WAT? do you know about KTM? lol
O.K. Frax I've owned them for years and are my favorite brand
Riding since the early 70's all kind of brands, my 1997 KTM 250 EXC, well I put an Ohio plate on it and rode it a ton, other than an front fork seal & putting the stock pipe on she ran not even fowling a plug! This is just like the Ford, Chevy or Dodge debate, get's you nowhere! Ask the guy who owns 1 :)
