2024 Yamaha YZ250F tested: So much more than retro graphics

Yamaha's 2024 model YZ250F is far, far more than just bold new retro graphics. Also available in standard Yamaha blue, the YZ250F receives many of the improvements the YZ450F had last year.
The new 250 is lighter, faster and slimmer than its predecessor, with all areas except the engine being hugely upgraded and improved. But there re changes to the motor to make it more reliable and stronger than ever. From the chassis to the suspension and the electrics, every detail has been thought through for an optimal ride. Check out what MotoHead's Dave Willet thought of the newest MX2 bike to hit the track.

How about the bottom end? People complain the 2024 has less range on, for example, 3rd gear.
