Two-Stroke Braap! How Does the 2024 Yamaha YZ250 Compare to Four Strokes? | Bike Test 

And hyd clutch. That would be a good price point. But keep the 250X as is for a lower price option. They would sell all the models. I like the old school yellow black too, that is how I remember YZs.

Well, there is that new Fantic 300cc with all those things..But it is EFI.

@Tontsa41 Yeah, I have a KTM. All those features. I'd prefer a Jaanese bike (Honda or Yamaha), even if it weighed a little more, at a lower price point than the $14K (OTD) KTM's, with WAY more reliability/longevity! It's a niche that the Japanese brands haven't wanted to bust into. I'm hoping that with all the euro brands busting into the Japanese bread and butter of Supercross, that the Japanese manufactures will extend their purview into the hard enduro arena! Fingers crossed! 🤞

Those 93 models were the best looking bikes ever imo. I loved the CR also with the nuclear red. I got the KX that year and it was sweet looking also.

Can u buy me a new one 😅😅

This bike will make you feel like your a kid again on YZ80. I had a new 1980 CR80 year 1, got on son's 23 YZ250X with FMF, Apex Head, opened it up while turning back kicking out, instant memory to the CR80 just bigger. So I got one and KTM150 for sale. KTM150 reminds me of XR250 to be honest.

And you can putt on these, Apex head XC insert and flywheel weight. Pipes aren't needed but help a little and look good.

The kdx200 can rip.

my first bike 12yrs old was '82 yz80 with the radiator behind number plate that leaked like a sive 😅

Def love the new KTM 350 SXF better.

Opinions vary. I’ll stick with my 06 RM250. Best bike on the planet

I got the 50th anniversary YZ250 2stroke, best bike ever. You can actually lug it in third gear. Don't even know why you'd consider the KTM, but it's your money.

@@kruse1105 KTM is the KING of offroad. They have won the most supercross & motocross championships out of any manufacturer in the last 20 years. and have dominated enduro 25 years in a row.

Pure DOMINATION. this once again proves that KTM is the best Motocross & Enduro manufacturer on the planet. KINGS 🔥👑🍊🧡💯 KTM’s are unmatched in performance off the showroom floor, that’s just facts 🍊🧡💯

350 all day long I am just here because I want a another bike lmao 🤣 the 350 is the king of weekend warriors bike/ vet bike

I have both and I love them almost equally

Obviously haven't rode the new ktm 250 then if you think that, now I'd take the yz125 over the new 125sx for sure but in 250 the ktm beats it in every way

Your awesome new YZ is 100% thanks to KTM! But yeah same, I prefer the YZ

@Landonmoto39 not exactly mate. YZ250 engine,frame, swingarm suspension, are the same the last 20 years... Yamaha didn't try to catch up with KTM. Ktm is trying to catch up Yz250.

this is the perspective of a KTM fan. Yamaha always had the best 2 strokes, and the reason kept producing them its simply because people are BUYING it. It's the same reason why Honda still produces xr650l, suzuki the dr650, and kawsaki the klx. Because people love them and still buy them. People always loved 2 strokes and always will. That has nothing to do with KTM.

The two stroke 250 should be allowed in the 250f classes. Problem solved.

They are 4T fans! I wouldn't go less than 40:1 if I wanted long crank bearing life on a 2T.....None of that "smokless oil" BS in my machines....Kills cranks!

@@ejgrant5191 I am still at 32:1. Going to try 40:1, but 50 is WAY off from what Yamaha recommends.

I disagree the tbi 250 is lightyears better than the prior generation but I will say the 13-16's are the best motor

Or Apex. Hold out till Black Friday they might have 30% off again. Feel like I got a steal last year.

Who rides a 450 on the limiter?

King guy is right. My 490 would say Bing bing bing when you let off of the gas! Hard to describe a 2 stroke accelerating but when you putt putt a small bore 2 stroke it goes Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr and is soothing on a quiet Bayou in the morning!

I would disagree. my KTM 450 had much more vibration with steel frame felt through the bars compared to my yz450 w/ aluminum frame

@@themechanic8986 my 03 KX 250 steel frame hardly vibrates.

They never quit making them and they've never been banned

@@yuriabmxr last CR-250 was 07, and there are riding areas in California that do NOT allow 2 strokes. Been riding for 43 years brother

That's like saying they don't build four strokes anymore because they stopped building the XR 650 R. We're talking about two strokes, not Hondas. What's more, the video we are looking at has a motorcycle that has never paused production and Yamaha is not even the only one. Ps-Most of these videos are filmed at Glenn Helen. Just stop making stupid arguments.

@@yuriabmxr they did faze out the 2 strokes on everything, dirt bikes, jet skis, outboard engines too, what the fuck ever bud

@@JoeStill-un9gp you are RIGHT NOW commenting on a video about a motorcycle that has essentially never stopped production in 50 years. There are other brands who have never stopped production of two strokes, not for marketing reasons, government regulation, or any other reason. The fact of the matter is that the manufacturer of two-stroke motorcycles has never been banned. Not by the federal government, not by anybody. You made incorrect assumptions and/or are severely lacking in reading comprehension. You can sit there and bang your dumb head against the wall or you could stop and learn something. Your choice. Good night.

Ktm junk bikes

Nonsense

More 2 smokes for me......
