2020 YZ250...The Old Dog Still Sings!

The 2020 Yamaha YZ250 2 stroke is unchanged yet again for another new model season. That isn't necessarily a bad thing. It truly shows how good this bike was in 2006 when it received it's last major update with Kayaba SSS suspension. As the Austrian manufacturers as well as TM continue to develop their 2 stroke line the Yamaha will face stiffer competition in the 250 class as time goes on if there isn't an update. We applaud Yamaha for being the only Japanese manufacturer continuing their 2 stroke line up and only hope that they might set some R&D budget aside to update it a little more. Check out what Josh Mosiman had to say about the 2020 model after a full day of riding at Glen Helen Raceway.
