been riding mx for 30 years now and have owned at least a dozen bikes.. 4 and 2 strokes. Im 220lbs and the FUNNEST bike Ive ever owned was a 2006 YZ125 bored to 144 by Eric Gore. I can not describe how much more exciting my time at the track was on that thing, I fell in love with motocross again because of it. When it came time to explore trail and enduro riding I ended up with the TE150i even tho the two bigger models were right beside it. I was stunned at how broad and smooth and linear the power is on this thing. I can lug it or wring its neck and let it scream. Its amazing what they managed to do with a small bore two stroke. And its light, nimble and playful. Amazing bike.

Why do these guys always test Enduro biked by riding them wide open on the pipe the entire time. Its not what they bike is designed for. How about showing how it lugs down low in tight single track. Horrible way to review this bike.
It is not this industry, but every industry, (including my last 2 doctors in the medical industry). It is a new generation of people who can not think very well because their school sabotaged their minds, (they can't "reason" and figure out reality). I thought MX would be the last to be affected by mental dysfunction,---but it is all happening at the same time. I am not insulting the new generations, it is not their fault. They were sabotaged. But it would be great if they all redefined "class action law suits", and sued their schools who reduced their minds to a 2 year old learning to talk, (who actually does figure out reality more effectively, than the HS/college grad can today.). It is like all of thinking mankind has been sabotaged. The movie "Idiocracy"? 500 years from now? I know people like that now, and some of them are even getting famous. Doug in Michigan.

A 200 can keep up with anything made..depends on the rider. When I was racing hare scrambles and enduros I switched from a KTM 250 exc to a 200 wxc and was instantly faster..felt like being on a bicycle it was so lite.
@@premiumdetail5349 Is that new too, because their other FI designs are injected into the side of the cylinder in the transfer ports. That would keep the gas out of the bottom end, (pretty much), so the gas would not dilute the injected oil for the crank bearings, and burn the oil as it mixes with the fuel. But looking at the engine at min 2:02, it looks like you might be right. I guess they will make it transfer port injected for the next level of epa regulations. jeeech. Personally, I know a well tuned top quality carb is hard to beat.
Blame the EPA organizations, (and Europe is a level worse than ours). They force the emissions regulations on them for one reason; to drive them out of business. The manufactures are just trying to comply with impossible regulations. They forgot to teach us in school that going green also means going broke, and that is what is being forced. Not the free world we thought it was huh?
@@premiumdetail5349 Not anymore, (double the HP for a 2-stroke of the same size of a 4-stroke). That is the only thing good about the 4-stroke, it puts the power to the ground better. I am sure they have raced 70hp 4-strokes 450's today, and the CR500 was never that much for MX. It may be still true for just peak HP numbers though, because 2-stroke MX bikes do not make the most power that they could be making, (would be just to wild to ride for MX). I know Honda made a v-twin 2-stroke 250cc engine for road racing that made 90hp. A buddy of mine was building it for quad sand drag racing in a 250cc class. But today on MX,---they could be racing the two engines together with the same displacement, and the 4-stroke may still come out on top in the dirt. The rest of the 4-stroke sucks. From price, to complexity, to maintenance costs, to the height of them, (some of their low weights amaze me, but are usually porkers) and them sounding like a fat lady farting. The 4-stroke was forced on the industry, and it was a mistake. In fact,---it was evil.
For the price, the 250 is the better mount,,and btw,,at these prices most are going to want a single tracker, some track use,,Hill climber, and woods bike extraordinaire,,250.
Correction. At these prices, most will not be able to buy a bike. The results of 90% lost market share and 30 riders on a 40 rider GP gate are in. This is what happens when an industry is told what to do by governmental forces. The 1986 production raised the price of a bike times 3 in 5 years, and the 4-stroke, (forced on the industry), has almost tripled it again. Suzuki will stop making a bike soon. There will be more following.
@@EarthSurferUSA Yes, I agree that prices are seemingly beyond what most adults are willing to spend on a toy, yet in a free economy with competitors abound it would suggest that people are still vigorously spending a l o t of money on these bikes. In all fairness, it's obvious that a great number of Americans like to ride on the knives edge financially speaking, and therefore haven't any qualms financing just about everything, but I digress..
You are not thinking. You are guessing. But that is all we can do before we buy a bike today,---because the bike tests have pretty much turned into a sales pitch. I had no idea my 2019 YZ250 2-stroke was way too tall when I bought it, (after reading everything I could find about it). The bike mags in the 80's would have told me the bike is too damn tall,---but a sales pitch won't.
I port little 2-stroke engines for a living, (RC cars and go-ped scooters, and sell them all over the world), and it looks like I won't be selling any engines in CA. after 2024. They are putting a ban on all 2-stroke engines, even for the landscaping industry.
Unfortunately, all I see and hear is a two stroke dirt bike made for the woods being ridden like a motocross bike. Not a very helpful video to see what this bike can do in more challenging, technical terrain.
9 out of 10 people who used to buy dirt bikes agree. I am glad I grew up in the 70's and 80's, or I never would have been able to get into this sport. A sport that I was able to form my life from/around. I have no idea what my life would be like if I was not able to afford new bikes starting at the age of 12 in 76. $800.00 each, for the next 3 new bikes I bought over the next 6 years. A Kawasaki KD 125, and 2 YZ's. Thank goodness I made $4.00 after HS in my first machine shop and was able to pay $2,300 for a YZ250 in 1986. The year of the production rule. Prices went up a lot, leveled off at about 5 g's, then the 4-stroke was forced on the industry, as we face 12 grand dirt bikes. To spendy for that is right. And the decline of bike sales over those years shows why. Nobody in the free market wants to make stuff that people can't afford, and lose 90% of the market share they once had. The prices are "forced", because what we make and sell is dictated by people outside of the industry. Sorry, I thought you asked for a good economics history lesson. :)
