Yamaha has been the king of horsepower in the 250 class over the past few years, but Kawasaki had some things to say about that with the release of the 2020 KX250. Some updates to the KX include a higher-output engine by way of more aggressive cams and revised valve train, more powerful brakes, and a brand new coil-spring 48mm KYB fork. So, Chase teams up with #526 Colton Aeck at Glen Helen Raceway to put the new changes to the test and see what bike come out on top for 2020!

@outdoorstuffwithelisha2591 4 года назад

I think the kx 250f should include both a kickstart and an electric start, people also use these bikes on trails. If the electric start stops working without a kick start they would be stranded unless they can manage to bump start it.

@outdoorstuffwithelisha2591 4 года назад

Addicted you’re not getting the point. People do use mx bikes for trail bikes, only having electric start is a bad idea, and I know that the 2020 kx 250f still has a kickstart, I think that’s a good thing

I went with the new 2020 KX250 for many of the reasons you both mentioned. I've only ever owned/raced a kick start bike, so I don't mind... the EFI on these new bikes do make them easier to start. Brand new, the KX started on the first/second kick. Also, the KX right now is a better deal for the pocket book, which could be used to get some aftermarket stuff, to further it's justification. Honestly, I've been a Honda guy my whole life, but I would be happy to have any of the new bikes... they are all awesome. Thank you.

@michellatour150 4 года назад

Thank you for the detailed explanation on each bike's handling characteristics, most 250F shootouts barely touch the subject and put most of the emphasis on engine power. With a pro and and intermediate on hand, also adding a novice level rider's opinion would complete such a review very well.

@bbllaakkeeee 4 года назад

I absolutely love the look of the Kawasaki and absolutely NEED max control and maneuverability on the track due to my style and technique as that’s where my comfortability takes precedence. However, the kickstart and lack of wifi tuning kills it for me. I’m almost 30 and have had ankle surgery as well as damage from my knees down from the military and a kickstart would be an unnecessary amount of added stress, especially if I tip it over on the track and have to heel it for 5 minutes. Unless the kickstarters are more forgiving than they were 13 years ago, I’m not sure I could cope. But god do I love the way that kawi looks.

I'm sad that Kawasaki dropped the F from the 250 and 450 names. It shows that they have absolutely no intention to bring back the 2-strokes, ever. Kawasaki cut their teeth on 2-strokes.

I bleed green but i'd like to get the yz the only thing is that i don't know if the battery is reliable because i can stay a while without riding and i've never own a bike that doesn't have a kickstart

@rmatvmc 4 года назад

I haven't heard of anyone having issues with the yamaha batteries. But if you're worried, I would just get a battery tender and hook it up if the bike is going to be sitting for a long period of time.

Terry from Christchurch New Zealand, i got a 19 yz2500f did 31hrs then blew my tibia and fibia above me ankle. Bike was parked up feb through to sep and fresh gas hit the button and cranked up sweet battery was fine, i was surprised and impressed, Yamaha suspension is so good stock and if ua can outride it your eather delusional, fat or very fast. Most people that complan about suspension are eather wrong spring rate, dont understand how setup and clickes work and effects. Or there body positions on the bike is incorrect. Never have i not been able to get someone set up comfortable and predictable so they can charge on yammi. suspension

@@SamuelIrish can u name a few cons and pros on ktm, husky and yamaha?

@SamuelIrish 4 года назад

@@tanectanec8566 well, alot of it comes to rider preference. It also depends on what you are doing aswell. The yamaha is a bike that is very comfortable to ride and is very easy to ride, alot of people prefer the spring forks the yamaha have over the air forks the husky and ktms have and it has a really great motor package all up. It lacks a tad in top speed over the husky and ktm 125cc models but its easy to fix that as you can get the bike to come with the GYTR kit on it for around the same price as a stock ktm. The brakes are also really good on the Yamahas aswell.

I raced smokers back in the day ( late 90s early 2000s ) but now as a 40 year old and not having ridden properly for a few years (about 15) I would consider myself more or a vet that wants an easier ride. I don’t want to be wrestling something around the track!!

How come Kawi took the skid plate off the 2020. Are the holes there in the frame still to buy one for it ? I loved how flush to the frame the stock plate was on my 18

@bradleythomsen3083 4 года назад

It shouldn't matter, but after owning a husky all I see are bolt holes in the plastics on other brands. Especially on Kawasakis. Perhaps they are easier/faster to work on? Idk. I know it doesn't change performance. But man does it look cheap. In person the kawi almost looks like a kids toy more than a 10k dollar machine. I suppose that's better than husky's junk magura clutch slave leaving you high and dry.

Guys I hope to get your opinion on this... I want the best small bike that I can fit in the back of a small car - like a ford fiesta size with the back seats down. Am I looking at 85cc 2 strokes if loading by myself for less weight? Husky tc 85, yamaha yz85 or anything else?? What are your thoughts for under 180 lb bikes and still decent power. Im 5"7, 150lbs. Thanks, watching from the UK, great video and logical explanations as to your choices here. Thumbs up.

@blu3flare25 4 года назад

A kx100 is a nice middle of the ground bike that would be small. Dont know if it would fit in the back of a ford fiesta though. Also being small doesnt really matter a whole lot im 5'6 130lbs and ride a kx250f lol

@shifty277 4 года назад

@@blu3flare25 im looking at that and the rest of the manufacturer 85cc's. Key is I have to be able to whack in the back of the boot. Thanks for the response. I don't think there are a lot of kx100's in the UK let alone for sale. All depends on seat height, handlebar width, total height and weight of the bike.... Cheers

@blu3flare25 4 года назад

@@shifty277 I would definatly try to find a kx100. But if you go with a 85 you can always get a big bore kit. Most important thing after that would be tuning the suspension for you're weigh.

@blu3flare25 4 года назад

@@shifty277 biggest reason for the kx100 is the extra power bigger wheels and the stock suspension should be more in the ballpark for you're weight.

@shifty277 4 года назад

@@blu3flare25 yes I see what you're saying the 85 isnt aimed at bodies weighing north of 140lbs i'd imagine. I will definitely look out for one. At 1.8m in length im not even sure these bikes will fit in the back with the seats folding down put in diagonally... Food for thought! Thanks for your replies though! If I cant get a small bike in the back of the car then I will rely on a friend with a van and it will be a 125 2 stroke or 250 4 stroke so even more research lol!
