2018 250 Shootout - Dirt Bike Magazine 

the yz has the most user friendly motor, good low end. KTM, it screams on top. And tbh, ive ridden the yz forks, there are good, but so are the ktm airforks. have you actually ridden them? actually feel like you are riding on clouds man. sooooo nice. ride stock kx450f air forks, oh man, they feel like they don't move. so stiff in the worst ways possible. hands are dead after the first set of braking bumps

Jared Costa the Yamaha isn't quite as light and doesn't have brembo brakes or cluck .........

Lahms Suzuki has the friendliest bike

Rmz are sick stfu

lol basically yup

😂

Yes

a lot.

David Klimmek I have a yz125 and plan on getting a crf250r next week!😎 Yamaha and Honda all day long💪🏼❤

Lmao!

At 2:02 they were pointing out that the ktm 450 won the 450 shootout

Planet Matt editing mistake I saw it to but they did call it a 250 and not a 450

Aiden Ranney what video are you watching??

we apologize. minor text error on our part. These are all 250Fs

Genki Dama no springs equal lighter

Lol... KTM, because using syllables is for slow people.

Planet Matt you biased towards kawi? Pick a colour and enjoy.

the KXF shit sorry to say ive owned one..

LoCk3H why

blomgren182 I believe he was sarcastic

The Yamaha doesn't rev near as long on the top and it is almost 20 pounds heavier than the ktm or husky and doesn't feature an electric start and if the bike isn't lasting your not taking proper care of it

Aiden Ranney apparently you need to do your homework on the 2018 yamaha and or ride 1 and the ktm. The yamaha does come with a electric start also the only bike with wifi technology revs higher and so on.

Josh Courtney thats what I was trying to say dickhead ive rode every bike and I had a honda kawi and yami. ad far as the 250f the yami last longer. my friends had ktms and had probs

mxr you obviously have no idea what ur talking about the 450s have wifi and electric start dumbass these are 250s and look at the dunk charts the ktm and husky hit almost 14,000 rpm before they hit the rev limiter the yami doesn't even come close to that

Aiden Ranney I was talking about the 450 idiot cause someone else did. and as for wifi yamaha is the only one you can wifi with your phone.

Vincent Sauer the Yamaha has the best engine, handling and suspension so how doesn't it win and some riders are just faster than others so wtf

Typical_Ladd The 250f ktm has by far better handling and cornering and almost the power in the downside.

And the Suspension is also almost as good as the kyb sss. KTM weighs 98kg Yamaha 103

Fair point but the Yamaha is better but there mostly the same these days so just pick what ever colour u want.

Roll start?

I forgot about that but Isn't that bad for the engine when you roll start it?

@@aiden4254 nope, its the exact same process as the kick start, just turning the engine

stupidmoto what's that you ride a Japanese 120kg piece of shit. You can't put a price on greatness.

stupidmoto MANNY RAMIREZ

Fuck that we all know KTM is better

There light because they lose parts on the track

Haha Japanese bike are awesome

zahyd ben aziz according to this shootout no it's not.

Evan Anderson who gives a fuck about a pay to win shoot out

How did they miss that typo lol

The on the bike it said 250

They're owned by the same company dumb dumb

LMBC6Brian - The front fender looks like it was eating Cheetos and fell asleep watching porn.

threefiddyone 2 jokes suck

Connor Townsend Townsend Theyre not as good but they are way more fun to ride and listen to

threefiddyone fucking respect to you my guy. I ride 2 jokers but most of the 2 stroke community fucking hates 4 stroke. Glad you ain't coming here to argue lol

Thanks dude. Theres no doubt that in the competitive aspect 4 strokes are better, but for most people who ride its just about having fun on whatever bike you prefer.

threefiddyone your beloved Honda's don't make 2strokes 😂😂😂

i cant reaaly understand. i got the money for one and i cant get a clearly decision... im so tired of my rm 250 and blowin pistons. i get out from enduro de verano.. a real important race here in argentina. now i have the chance. and yamaha it seems to be the best , and it seems with a longer life. but everybody says ktm is like ferrari in f1. so i watch the youtube videos. and surprise the crf 450 makes the ktm eat the dirt. in other videos makes eat dirt to the yamaha 450 f , all of them motocross. not enduro. and so ? whats the truth?

I think he meant the 70's TM?

G.P. Caines they are afraid to compare the powerful 2 strokes against the 4 stroke slugs

Like I may be wrong but the KLX is the 4 stroke and KX is the 2 stroke and they usually have the big fat pipes but it didn’t in this video

GravityWave673 Thema Bikes in this Video are 4 jokes

Suzuki, kawi, and Honda don't build 2 strokes anymore and yamaha hasn't updated there 2 stroke motor in over a decade. Wouldn't be much of a shootout I'm afraid.

Kevin Ray what do u mean make it better? The stupid thing hasn't changed for the most part since 2016

It looks better doesnt it? No? They gotta change something. Honda is the only bike that went for crazy changes. Yamaha added blue rims. Ktm made an orange frame. What do you want?

Work for it yourself dummy

Yep, the KTM would win with no engine... they would say it lacks power uphill and the downhill power is silky smooth...

Planet Matt and the ktm doesn’t look that good.

Planet Matt you crack me up. Haha

If it weighs less then how come you pay more? Hmm somefing suspiciouz 🕵️‍♀️

Cameron Brown because ktm gets better every year and is the fastest

HawkeyeOfTheSky 😂😂😂 I can see why you say that but look at it from this point of view. When Yamaha released their 2017 YZ250F, the bike came with more mid-range punch, which made the power curve more linear and consistent. So it benefits beginners so they won’t get random bursts of power like the shitty KTM (similar to a 2 stroke) because you don’t want to be stabbing the clutch the whole time if you don’t have confidence and technique, you can just roll on and the power is there immediately. Obviously if someone has never ridden a dirtbike or even a normal bike before, they shouldn’t go with a Yamaha, because whiskey throttle on a Yamaha will get you into some serious shit. But if your throttle control is decent then the Yamaha can be a good beginner bike.

yeh, im looking at the YZ125 for my next bike.

As in, they all have 2 wheels?

nik mxforever are you dumb?

nik mxforever no but you are.
