The 2025 Yamaha YZ450F
receives the first round of
changes to the current gen-
eration, which was completely
redone back in 2023. For this
model year, it receives a hand-
ful of minor updates, includ-
ing a new linkage ratio and
suspension settings to match,
recessed control buttons, new
footpeg brackets, and new
engine mounts. "Small and
thoughtful revisions," Yamaha
says. Factor in the Power Tuner
smartphone app, and the YZF
is as tech-savvy as they come.
Plus, it's the lightest Japanese
bike of the bunch, being more
than five pounds lighter than
the Honda or the Kawasaki.
