New Yamaha YZ250 2009 2010 : First Ride

Powerful and ready to step up to any challenge, the Yamaha YZ250 is backed up by a light and fairly nimble chassis. Have it cut corners aggressively, accelerate hard when you shouldn’t and stay alert at all times in order to find out what real dirt riding means or, better said, the original dirt riding means. The bike remains stable at all times and you won’t have troubles showing it the way to go.Ergonomics are as great as you can have on a motocross bike which doesn’t necessarily mean that spending a great deal of time on that narrow seat won’t have repercussions. Ouch! But what I love about it is that it sure knows how to jump and it is so inviting when the time comes to do so. While all bumps will be easily absorbed by the titanium shock springs and KYB suspension, jumping feels free and the only thought in a rider’s head when flying is that Yamaha sure did a good job when reducing the bike’s overall wet weight to 229 lbs
