The 2013 Yamaha YZ250 carries on the heritage of the bike which won the first-ever World Motocross Championship back in 1973. It retains the 2-stroke principle but the rest of the bike is completely changed, now benefiting from the most advanced technology in the field of MX racing. The chassis is now made in aluminium and rolls with light, cast alloy wheels, USD forks and a Power Valve System for the modern exhaust.
The handling is simply flawless, given the revised suspension settings and chassis sturdiness, while the seat ergonomics have been also updated for good support and maximum freedom of movement.
