Y
es, we might be sounding
like a broken record but
you can blame Yamaha
for that for continuing to make
the best 250F even better year
after year. Even with some of its
competitors stepping up their
game, the Yamaha continues
to reign supreme, thanks to its
now higher-revving engine and
improved suspension; these
small changes keep the Yamaha
ahead of the pack.
The YZ250F, however, isn't
the horsepower king; that is a
title for the KTM and Husky. The
way the YZ delivers its power,
though, is what separates it from
everyone else. From bottom
to top there's useable power
everywhere, making the Yamaha
a great bike for both novice
and pro riders. You can ride
down low and short shift or live
near the rev limiter; the YZ is
happy doing either. The Yamaha
Power Tuner (sold separately)
also makes tailoring the power
and the way it's delivered super
easy. Not as easy as swapping
couplers like on the KX and
