Dirt Bike Magazine tests the 2024 Yamaha YZ250 Two Stroke on a rough and rugged track in the desert. The last major changes to the YZ250 came in 2022 with all new body work, new sub-frame, new brakes, new suspension settings, new air-box, and new seat. We love the Yamaha YZ250 two stroke! Are the updates worth it? Is it better than the 2021 version? Learn all about it here in this video!

They do everything good on the track and off..and the reliability and cost to maintain them is second to none..plus state of the art suspension still..this generation yz 250 is the GOAT of all 2 strokes
AGREED
White plastic is sick on that thing that’s for sure
After the Honda cr250 2 strokes
Got my '24 in Team Yamaha Blue. You are right about it having a hard hit, sheesh!!!
They get wild at times hahaha
I got one a week ago, but then as the italian version as a fantic xx250
Riders here stay away from 2stroke. Am glad i grew up riding 125 smoker, the yz250 feel right at home, just hits harder.
"One of the greatest bikes of all times "
Exactly that👏👏👏
DAMON BRADSHAW!!!! Throw back... love it
Two Stroke air cooler 1975 YZ250 yellow banana monster was my bike at 14. Tim has changed.
Thanks, great video.
Those were the best years!
Thanks for watching!
You are right. Thank you for cheering
1978 yz250 at 14 back in 1980. Absolutely Awesome bike.
Love the format of this video.
Appreciate it a lot!
Great review! Nice bike!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Perfect analogy
Thank You!
That's What I'm Talkin Bout 🔥👊.. Appreciate ya Fellas ✌️😉
Thanks for watching!
I just want a carb’d 2 stroke 250. No fluff or bs. I have an older CR 250 already. Thank you Yamaha.
They change the colour like 90' YZ. Bring back my memories of my ride1994 YZ 250. I call it Buffalo for the strength and durability.
Hello from virginia
I just got mine 😎
Awesome one of our editors Travis Fant got a new one too!
I hope they will chance the tripleclamps to 22mm.
Clicked on this video knowing it's the same. Still watching
Heck ya! Can't beat a solid YZ
I almost want to buy one just to have it as it doesn't seem like full on commitment from manufactures and feels like one off run.
Great video! Any one want to share this location? Definitely high desert tried to pay attention to land marks, not sure. Thanks
Thanks for checking it out. We keep our secrets ahhaha
Looks like a morgue worker in the white gear😅 10 times lighter? You mean one tenth, surely, but that would be incredibly light
I bought a brand new Yz250F and sold it a year later. Great bike but not for me. I like riding my old KX250 better.
After I build my house, i will retire my KX as a show piece and replace it with either a Yz or Sx 250
Nice! Nothing wrong with having a two smoker!
I wish theyd make an enduro version with a headlight and estart. Theyd steal a huge chunk of the market from ktm.
That would be cool!
Yes this right here.... I'd much rather buy Japanese
Here’s a little tip from someone who worked at several Yamaha dealerships: yamaha just keeps cranking out the same bike with minor tweaks. They cost nothing to manufacture, literally nothing. Dealers order way too many of them because they cost almost nothing. Never pay retail for a Yamaha 2 stroke.
If you walk into a dealer, they’ll have 3 or 4 models boxed from a few years ago and since there’s literally been almost no changes , buying a 2021 model isn’t any different, or a ‘22, etc and you can walk out with a $7900 bike for $4000 all day long cause they’ve got tons of these things in inventory. And if your local dealer doesn’t, just call around.
They cost nothing to build? Are you serious? Who pays for the raw materials, manpower on the assembly line, and freight to ship them from Japan. What about the tech at the dealership who has to uncrate and build it? I guess you worked at all those dealerships for free??
@@teeniorcitizen8115 my point is the costs are literally almost nothing. No R&D. They hit the books years ago. It’s all gravy now. Go to any Yamaha dealership and you’ll be able to negotiate purchase of a brand new multi-year old model for not UCHealth money and especially near the end of the year. They have crates of 2 year old, 3 year old, sometimes 4 and 5 year old models sitting in their warehouse and if they don’t, they know some dealer who does.
Those who know Yamaha, really know Yamaha can walk in and buy a model 2 or 3 years old completely new and crated for incredibly cheap prices because they are so cheap to build, they build in quantity and they perform literally no R&D and thus no tooling.
And the shipping costs were accrued years ago. It’s an overhead sunk cost sitting in inventory.
@@dalepellerin Every YZ is shipped from Japan to the States. The freight companies don't do that for free. Every manufacturer has to pay the freight cost to get the unit to the port by ship. Then they have to pay a rail company to transport it to a warehouse, and then they pay a trucking company to transport it to the dealer. None of that is done for free. This happens with every single unit and every brand. And again, what about the raw materials and assembly cost? "Literally nothing to produce" was your statement. If you worked at a dealership in any capacity beyond a lot porter you would know that statement was ignorant.
@@teeniorcitizen8115 You're missing the point. Those are old costs from years ago when the bikes were ordered. I'm not saying you're going to get the bike for free. I'm saying you can walk into almost any Yamaha dealership right now and buy a 2022, maybe even a 2021 Yamaha let's say YZ250 for around $4000 instead of $8000. They have tons of models that are brand new but multiple years old because it is Yamaha's strategy to do this, to over manufacture and they have very enticing models of procurement for Dealers. This is a great thing for anyone wanting a brand new Yamaha as everyone knows that Yamaha never updates anything so what's the difference between a brand new older model and a new model? Nothing...
2 stroke ?people rarelly shift . Most are scared of 2 stroke . Yamaha should teach how to race two stroke . You'll never see people in highest gear . You need very big gear on wheel to run highest . Most gear thhem for 100 mph they ll never go that fast
We don't think our test rider was scared of the 2 stroke. He raced Supercross and Outdoors as a pro
@@DirtBikeMagazine in general . For average joe dirt people . I mean unless he test only for himself
Jesse?
I miss when these videos didn’t do the premier. I never get to watch these anymore. Go back to normal release please.
Sorry we just want to let our subs know when stuff is coming =/
@@DirtBikeMagazine i get the notification when the premier is released. then lose the video in current ones once its released. I miss normal style like the rest of youtube does.
At the end of 2021 I switched from 20+ years of KTM to the YZ250X. I am still amazed at the quality and reliability of the Yamaha 2 stroke. The engine has bucket loads of power. I gave up the OEM electric start on the KTM’s but gained the best stock suspension and it’s a game changer. Almost infinite amount of mods either factory or aftermarket readily available makes the bike a no brainer. There is no better bike for your dollar and budget period.
