ack in August, Yamaha gave us a sneak preview of the 2014
Yamaha YZ250F in prototype form. Anxious to get the word
out on its all-new, reversed-cylinder YZ250F motocrosser,
knowing that the real (aka production) and completely redone 2014
YZ250F would be showing up late on showroom floors compared
to its rivals, Yamaha pulled a few early-run YZs off
the assembly line to give the media a chance to
spin a few laps on what Yamaha said were essentially production YZs, promising us that what
we rode then is what you'll ride now. Having tons
of confidence in its new bike and expecting positive first
reviews of the prototype 2014 YZ250F, Yamaha was hoping
everyone would wait for the late arriving production YZs instead
of purchasing something else. Well, if you were one of those who
waited, we can safely say that you won't be sorry that you did.
Yamaha officially
introduced the
2014 YZ250F at the
spectacular Thunder
Mountain MX Park in
Alabama.
