QUICKSPIN I 2025 Yamaha YZ250F
P110
had the track to ourselves on
this day, along with a few other
media outlets, the Fox Raceway
track didn't roughen up, so the
suspension wasn't truly put to
the test. That'll have to wait, but
we're certain it will shine late af-
ternoon on open practice days.
You do notice the updated
footpegs. You're not partially
standing on the mounts any-
more, which feels better and
allows for a better grip with your
boots on the bike. You will also
notice the more flexible hand
grip on the throttle side by the
housing. The chance of Ya
-
mathumb should now be greatly
reduced.
Unsurprisingly, Yamaha has
made a few, yet careful, chang-
es to the already outstanding
YZ250F, all of which were for the
better. When a bike is already as
good as the Y250F, any change
that's actually for the better is a
win in our book.
