Hands-down, the YZ is the best bike for a weekend warrior who races a lot the cost of ownership is so incredibly low and they are so incredibly easy to work on and ridiculously reliable. The airbox and air filter are perfectly designed and I can’t speak highly enough about how rad the YZ are For every day, Joe. I’m dealing with a new beta and the freaking airbox won’t even seal the air filter properly.
My bike is the X model so it has the 18” and I like it so far. Seems to have a wider foot print for better traction. I’ve ran a 19” for years and the difference to me isn’t crazy, but I can tell a difference
