Triumph TF250-X First Impression | Dirt Bike Test 

The bigger question is why are successful street brands getting into such a tough market?

@@DirtBikeTestit’s crazy how many companies have gotten into dirt bikes in the last decade, is the market really that big?

@@DirtBikeTest two reasons 1. scaled economies 2. emerging markets (this one is obvious to anyone who isn't American, because Americans are completely self absorbed and think the world revolves around them) fully scaled economies: the actual manufacturing for motorcycles, globally speaking, is 10 times more efficient than it was even 10 years ago. Making 400 motorcycles isn't any more expensive than making 4000 of them, like it was traditionally in large scale manufacturing. the barriers to entry aren't the same anymore. You don't have to build a state of the art manufacturing plant in China anymore, or anywhere else. you just borrow one. In modern car and motorcycle manufacturing, marketing and design is where most of the expenses are. If you are a modern Triumph (Bloor Holdings) or a Ducati ( Volkswagen Group) you already have massive marketing and design resources at your disposal, so the barriers to entry are almost nothing for them. Plus, already being well respected names in motorcycling creates a ton of cross-over connections as far as supply chains, vendors, and other third part business entities. Stack that on top of their loyal, premium customer base, and it sort of a no brainer. there isn't much to loose even if it all goes tits up. Reputation and image being the factors you'd worry about most...not profit loss. Emerging markets: this is quite simple. there are more markets for dirt bikes than in the past. India, China, United Arab Emirates, ect..., are all markets for full size motorcycles that didn't exist 20 years ago. India and China alone represent almost a 1/4 of the worlds population.

​@@nolansmith1211young people get into Moto, if they buy a triumph when young then they'll buy one for the road as well or later in life, same reason Ducati is doing it.

I guess it depends on what you compare it to. Triumph borrowed a lot of yamahas frame design which is known to be very very stiff in the last few years. If they made a less stiff version of the yz frame. In that case it would be more flex-y. But if you compare it to even a old 2019 yz, the triumph may still be stiffer.

Ok, Just for you Tonight!

Because nobody has ever lost a motor racing.

Yes, many times. Not including when Jimmy was dropped, likely on purpose.

Compared to what? Your RU-vid profile? The presenter in this video?
