Yamaha YZ250F reviews

The new YZ250F has a lot of power and suprisingly a lot more comfort than any other bike. I've had one for a two months now and I haven't ever had to work on it except to change the oil. The suspension is great to jump with and the power is there when you need it. I love my bike. Show less

I have been riding big bikes like XR600s and friends talked me into this 250. I was quite amazed by the power generated by this 250! Pulls hard WAY into the revs. Bottom end torque is a bit lacking, but understandable for the design of the motor. Must admit this is definitely a bike to have. Light and fast. Show less

My name's Damon and I'd like to start out by saying, YAMAHA IS THE FRICKEN BEST! I race this bike and I absolutely love it to death. I am a local pro around here and the YZ's are the bikes that have got me to where I am today. The 250f is such a reliable bike it's unbelievable. The power is MASSIVE, and the new suspension kicks butt! The only thing that I wish Yamaha would have put on this bike is an aluminum frame to cut down on some weight other than that you can't get anything better! What?! you're still here you should be out buying one by now, don't ya think? Show less

I had an '01 YZ250f and it was stronger and faster than my friend's '04 CRF250. I just bought the '05 YZ250f and now the wait is even longer. This bike is a rocket. Easy to start, powerful, great shocks and cheaper than a Honda... not to mention that it will go longer between maintenance intervals. A must have! Show less

Wow! I can't believe that I'm the first preson to write about this bike. It is incredibly fast and fun to ride! It kept up with my friend's YZ250 with no problem. The revs... it revs forever and feels like it will just keep going!! The only problem is starting it. Get used to using the compression realease. It is such a blast to be able to pull a wheelie in almost every gear without using the clutch! Show less

This bike is a major improvement over the '01 250f. It's lighter, faster and the suspension is WAY better. It handles like a 2 stroke, and has the power of a four stroke. This is a great bike for anyone who can handle the power. It has great top and bottom end and the new twin chamber forks are a great set up for any rider around 175 pounds. Show less

My first thought of this bike was power. The bike is one more crazy bike that Yamaha has made. It's a little heavy for jumps but the 48mm YZ suspension and the speed of this bike can really make you fly. And it's easy to start thanks to the Digital CDI. Speed, reliability and the power of this bike makes it fun to ride enjoy. Show less

I went out to Mojave and this bike is comfortable and also very reliable. One thing I liked about having a four stroke is that it idles. On my cr 80 you would have to constantly give it gas to keep the rpms up. The only downside is I'm not used to going off jumps with this bike but overall I would recommend this bike. It's a great bike with a lot of power when you really need it. Show less

I'd like to start out by saying this is a great bike. I have had it for almost a year and it is extremely powerful. I started with an xr100 and that is nothing compared to this bike. It has a great back end power. When coming out of turns it literally gets back to the speed before the turn immediately. The fist time I took it to the track it was amazing. I have never felt that much power with a 250cc four stroke. Show less

It is a great starter bike but also has the power that a pro rider could use. Getting off a 125 on to the 250F was easier than I thought and it has the power whenever I need it. Show less
