    Couldn't help but think the white yZF in the vid looks kinda average though. With its grey and black seat and the white and black shrouds, kinda didn't look right.

    Looks good , still not sure if I'd buy one when I could get a YZ250 2 Stroke = more power and less weight, better handling, reliability and all the other good things for less money ?

    Hmmmmm...did I mention more fun too ?

    And the sound ! ....Ding Ding ding dingding ...Baaaaaaarp !

    i have yet to ride a 250 2 stroke with the horsepower of a 450, but the rest of the points are pretty spot on,

    its a shame most the mx bike buying people in the world disagree with you,

    Yeah just read the artical your speaking of almost convinced me to buy another 2 stroke I prob will when ive had guts full of this 4 stroke


    Only owned a few weeks now and kinda second gueesing the decision to buy it
    Even on the old ones if you dont race serious and you wanna just go do the odd club day and smoke everyone on a big old 5hundy it great and if you get beaten you have a handful of excuses

    two strokes are great , love the yz but when your older and slower a 450 is much easier for the job imho. Looks like there all now chasing the whole centre of gravity thing like the berg , they say that thing is like a 250 to handle . Yamaha started it all dont forget 1998 yz400 this new bike will be sweet.
