2021 Vital MX 250 Shootout 

When 250f bikes came out first 2003/2004 some were far far better then others then slowly but surely they started catching up with eachother. Performance reliability etc... Literally just pick a color these days . It's a great thing really

Where was Suzuki. Everyone knows the bike hasn't changed but should still be included. And Gas Gas as well it's a new generation bike

I’d absolutely kill to be able to say, “gotta couple long days ahead...so let’s get to the track and get to work.”🤯😳😳 Good on ya guys though. Deserved. 👍

Comment section 10% "talking about review" 90% "Suzuki who?"

Great test as usual and nice that it is recognized that none of these bikes are going to hold a rider back. Amazing how good bikes are these days. As an old guy approaching 50 I can remember the days where there used to be bikes that genuinely stunk. Now pick your color and have fun. My KTM 150 is like a works bike compared to anything I was running back then and more fun to ride as well.

It’s so crazy how to get a lil bit of performance change out of your bike back in the day the minimum was changing sprockets, reed valves, exhaust system and potentially much more work. Now you hit a button on your cell phone and the bikes performs differently....... maybe it’s just me but that is insane! And quite impressive...!!

They are all great bikes it's mostly personal preference

Shoutout to you guys, you make my life way easier find out more on the bikes with pros!!

Man U wish someone would do a woods bike shoot around

Thanks Vital, lots of great information to help us make a decision on which bike to buy. Great work guys.

Excellent shootout, as usual. You have the most objective opinions, impartial review. Thanks 🙏

Thanks for this shootout format, very helpful. One thing- It would be nice if you listed the testers names in the vid description. But great job, guys!

They should start doing shootouts on east coast tracks too and see how they handle softer, deeper, perhaps rougher tracks...

Fantastic Fellas.. You couldn't have given us a better format to collect and apply that data/info to ourselves.. Much Respect and Thnk U.. ✌ Old G

Suzuki has left the chat...

It all comes down to personal preference. I’ve ridden two strokes all my life so the Honda was the best bike for me, and personally it feels very fast still. The suspension is great, and it feels very nimble. Great bike

I remember when they tested in Dirt Bike and posted LAP TIMES!.......A bike would get rave reviews and then they would see the time and it stunk! In Moto, lap times DO matter and the ''Feel'' of a Bike may be great but if it is slow around the Track is that the one to pick? Depends if you ride for fun or compete.

well, well done - super shootout with great documentation - BIG THX

Im between Kawi & Yamaha for my next 250. Tho KTM & Gas Gas are intriguing. Closest dealer to me has Honda/Kawi/Suzuki. Getting new bike in 2wks! - NH Ohio

I cannot believe you guys got Ferrandis to review the YZ!! Hahahaha

Great review guys! I’m getting a new bike this month Going with the Yamaha! Thanks guys

rode my buddy’s yz250f and his crf250r. Still would pick my rmz250 any day. turns amazing and has good power.

Was waiting for this one👍🏻🔥

The stash is back 🤘🤘

"We are going to beat around the bush and tell you pointless pros and cons that balance themselves out about each bike. Ultimately we will leave you with no answer, still wondering which bike works for you."

12:39 man o man... its just something about that yz blue!

Damn crazy how Suzuki ain’t even on the shootout for 2021😢

hello guys can you help me? i have an rmz250 2010 and i want a new bike from this 3 which is better and reliable, crf 2017, rmz 2018, or ktm 2014? I want it for amateur use

Mike Sleeter said himself that a ktm 125 is faster than the Honda 250. Apparently those things are slow I think they might be sugar coating. But he did say everything else was amazing

I’ve been waiting for this!!!!

My buddies have the new kawi and honda. Imo the Honda feels good and connected. Lacks in power. The kawi is much more powerful but maybe lacks in feel compared to Honda. Both good bikes. Ide pick the kawi. I personally ride a 250 sx smoker so I feel I am unbiased. My bike is better than both lol

I am looking to buy a yz250f what do you think

Yo read the description, Suzuki has a 2021 RMZ250 but it was not in the United States at the time they made the video! Either way it probably still would have been last because its the same as last years and last year it was last... Not hating on the Suzuki, I would gladly ride any one of these bikes!

Ok. You guys need to focus on the younger riders. My son is almost 15 and will come off a 2020 kx100 and jump on a 250. Kids fast, but I want him on the most comfortable bike in the motor department. Feedback on your opinion will help me make my decision. I’m leaning towards the Honda. But not sure. What do you think?

thanks for the insight bros..

which one was first i’m confused

I like how the Suzuki wasn’t included that bike has been unchanged for years!

No RMZ this year? Sad times for Suzuki. Great video, thanks. 👍

With everything soooo good these days, it comes down to ease of basic maintenance. The Austrian bikes stand far apart from the others in that category for me. Every time I put a wrench to a Japanese bike I just feel frustrated by corner cutting or over-engineering. The components feel a little more China as well. The new Kawi had my interest peaked. They'd probably get my money if I was going to part from Austria.

If dude on the left mentions he’s a “smaller guy” one more time

I’m 5ft 6 70kgs would any theses bikes suit my size or would they be too big ??? Any advice would be appreciated

Bummed you didn't test all!

Can you please do Tm Racing in it next time?

I like pick a color!

What this Suzuki rmz 250????????

ello people should i get rmz250 or crf

Excuse me where is susuki ?

Clean KTM 🧡

Is Husqvarna good fit for taller guys also ? I am 6,4 and i like the new Husky a lot. By the way great video 👍🏻

With air forks, could you put nitrogen instead of air since nitrogen’s pressure doesn’t fluctuate with temperature?

GASGAS?

im looking start riding again on the track. how ever i am just a weekend warrior who is just having fun since i am most def not the fastest guy around... what bike would have the best karakter for me? who can help me out?

Please do a 125 2 stroke shoot out.

Where is suzuki at this year surely they can get another years sales out of that 2006 technology they run

I love how everybody has mint tech 10 boots on and this guy in the far right has the crustiest white boots I’ve seen in a while ( maybe tech 1 or 8)

really wish u guys woulda put the gasgas in place of the suzuki😕

When i get my honda crf250r i hope they fixed horse power

Suzuki ???

ktm sxf250 or crf250r? im getting one of them but cant choose, so im gonna let yall pick for me

Do you know in all the years I have been aware of these shootouts it's never influenced what we have bought. Everyone we know agrees it's all about personal preferance the demeanor of the rider everyone throws aftermarket kit on them like pipes suspension bars etc and certainly here in my local race scene more and more people are buying older 2 strokes and totally rebuilding them and racing them. KTM probably out numbers ownership of those with new bikes by about ten to one. Just wish the industry was more open with the people who support it as well.

Wheres Suzuki?

Yamaha go go . I picked the right bike for me yz250F

when did valteri bottas started doing motocross reviews??

What would be the best bang-for-buck upgrades you can get for $1400 for the 2021 Suzuki RM-Z250?

id say John short is proving Suzuki is a viable weapon.

What happened to the Suzuki or do they only make 450s

Sad days! no Suzuki

Should I get a Kx250 or a crf250 r ?

So at the end, they said you pretty much can't go wrong and it just comes down to knowing what each bike excels at and then comparing that with your preference. Since the Suzuki isn't in the video, would I be wrong for buying one to save $500? Is it that much worse? Edit: I just read the description & see that it WOULD'VE been there if the 2021 model was available. *ALLEGEDLY!* So now I think for a casual trackday ride & hare scrambler who just wants a reliable bike, it could be worth $500 to just get the tried and true kickstart kooter. More research required.

To the guys talking about brands and what beats what, until you hit the level of being the top 1% or so of racers, you are not even riding the bike to its fullest potential. Other than creature comforts and brand loyalty, the bikes really don't perform much different if setup correctly at an amateur level. I am a die hard Suzuki guy and wanted nothing more than to buy a new 2021 RMZ250 but they cant seem to get their shit together so I bought a Honda as they are readily available, sexy and electric start.

Suzuki stop production rmz???

where's the Suzuki?

I’m a new rider looking for a bike. Any advice on which one of these bikes is best for a new rider ?

i’m either going with husky, yami, or Honda

Missing the yellow .......... already

Were is The suzuki?????

Do you think I could ride a 250 four stroke I’m 6’1 and 210lbs

Love the Yamaha

Do a KTM group 250 shoutout (just ktm gas gas and husky) !!!

Time for 250 2021 two stroke

can't figure out which to buy between the kawi and the yamaha. both at local dealers, the kawi is 6899 and the yamaha is 8199.

Suzuki is still the best. Kickstart for life.

Lap times would have been great. Plenty of people love Honda's or whatever... and then they post faster lap times on orange. Unless you're play riding or freeriding, feel is subjective. Lap times are objective. Short shifting a Yamaha a 50 times a lap is probably slower than overrevving a Husky. Not saying this is true, but we'll never know.

Why no suzuki ummm ,maybe if you guys read the description you would know

Wheres the Suzuki??

💙💙

Jawson Lawarence 338 in the interview from the left ...lol thats him

0:38 Big changes for Yamaha. You now need to keep a ballpeen hammer in your tool kit.

Am I the only one that noticed that the Honda was a 2020 not a 2021

I’m confused who won????

No gasgas??

Wait what there's no Suzuki?why?

Yeah, no Suzuki?

Ping hates green….clear back to his banger days

Still no yellow...

The guy with the mustache is definitely not a sheep farmer

No Suzuki?

🤟🤟🤟

27.27 mins that fella the orange/white humper !

Ping in FlyRacing...? wooow...
