  • Finally got a chance to ride the new 2023 Yamaha YZ250F on the motocross track. I didn't have a chance to do a sight lap or anything and my camera died as soon as I got on the track (missing the first two turns before I pulled off). Despite no warm up or sight lap, I felt instantly comfortable on the bike, with the exception of the bars. They seemed to be rolled back or have a strange bend in them (just my opinion). The power and throttle response are a massive upgrade from my 2015 YZ250F and I'm pretty tempted to pick one of these up, but holding out for the 450F redesign to be trickled down in 2024.

      KTM only brought their off-road bikes so I didn't get a chance to try the new ones. I'd really like to before buying a new MX bike.

      I didn't want to wait for the 2024 and I'm glad I didn't. Haven't heard great things about it. It's really nice to have the same manufacturer for both bikes. Similar parts, tools, etc. I just felt a lot more comfortable on the KTM. You can't beat the top end of the KTMs.

      On a motocross track? The YZ250F for sure.
