  • Test riding a 2023 Yamaha YZ250 2 stroke. Even though this bike is essentially outdated 2006 technology, it's still an amazing dirt bike and I'm shocked how much I enjoyed it. This test ride really has me contemplating if I want to get a YZ250 for the 2024 riding season. Hope you enjoy the video and please let me know what you think in the comments.

    The Pro Tapers on my 1997-2003 Yamaha YZ125’s & YZ250’s were all filled with silicone which dampened vibration & absorbed a substantial amount of impact, I think, ultimately, that was my secret weapon against arm pump

    I am in my late 60"s, i had a few YZ's during the 70's, the 1975 250B was my best play bike, good low down TQ, a very explosive midrange, a tire eater.

    Nice Vid man and at one of my favorite places to ride. Love the 2 smokers, raced cr125 and cr250's when I was young. Thinking I might need another 2 stroke, but we will see how I feel when I get my crf250r back together with the 270 kit that showed up yesterday.

    What is technology? Is a fuel injected, complicated four stroke with electric start the best technology? Or maybe high tech is actually a 20 year old 2 stroke that has fewer moving parts, weighs less and costs less to maintain but makes more power per CC than a 4 stroke.

    • @aidenrobert098
      @aidenrobert098 Месяц назад +1

      I see where your coming from but injection is instant, plus most bikes you can actually tune of off your phone and also tune using selectable map modes using the buttons on you handlebars. No changing jets to tune. Also you don’t need to mix fuel anymore. That’s technology.

    Really good video, couple questions
    Would u rather an older 06-21 model or 22-24 model because they changed them slightly?
    And would you prefer a new fuel injected ktm?

    • @Declan_conlan
      @Declan_conlan 2 месяца назад +1

      Just to clarify because I don’t know if you know lol (unless it was a 21 or under model) that the changed the bikes engine a lot. 22 and up is different, still carbed etc but they changed there 2 strokes a lot

    • @Declan_conlan
      @Declan_conlan 2 месяца назад +2

      Newer 125s are more aggressive to keep up with KTMS (I know because I was looking at buying one and got a 2016) on the top end so more fun=older

    • @DerekHallman
      @DerekHallman  2 месяца назад +1

      The current YZ250 is still the same engine and frame from 2006. In 2022 it received new bodywork, brakes, tires, sprockets, and some suspension updates. The YZ125 got engine updates but the 250 didn't. The efi of the new KTM 2 strokes is really convenient but I might be more comfortable on the Yamaha.

      If you've rode motorcycles before than yeah a YZ250 would be a great bike for you. If you're new to motorcycles than I'd recommend learning on something slower.

    I have a 250 4 stroke right now, but i feel i want more power and i really wanna get back to 2 strokes. Are the vibrations okay or like really crazy? And is the power okay or does it feel like a suicide machine? I just don’t wanna mess up my progress you know? Thanks for the great video dude! Keep er crisp as cold titties lol!

    • @DerekHallman
      @DerekHallman  Месяц назад +1

      250 smoker vs a 250F feel extremely different to me. If you're confident on the 250F I'd say stick with it and wring that thing out. The vibration is very noticeable yeah. It feels way faster than a 250F, but the power is not like a suicide machine. I'd feel more comfortable learning new tracks/jumps on a 250F than I would a 250 two stroke personally. Keep er crisp haha!!
