Only those who have ridden a 2-stroke quarter liter off-road machine know the adrenaline rush the amazing power and torque combined with a light weight brings... the rest are about to find out. If real-life racing sensations are one of the things you're looking for, then throwing a leg over the 2009 MY YZ250 is the natural thing to do.
The bike's seat was revised for better support and freedom of movement, while other components have been updated, with lower weight and enhanced performance. The bike also got a new anodized chain for this MY, but new wave rotors in the front and rear are also on the menu, as well as a new, revalved fork.
