Q: HOW DOES THE YZ250 TWO-STROKE COMPARE TO THE YZ250F FOUR-STROKE?
A: No contest. In most amateur racing organizations, a 250cc two-stroke is legal in the 250 four-stroke class. When compared to a 250 four-stroke, the numbers swing radically in favor of the 250cc two-stroke
.
(1) Power. The YZ250 two-stroke makes 45.5 horse-power, while the YZ250F only produces 36.3 horsepower. That is a nine horsepower advantage for the 250 two-stroke.
(2) Lap times. In back-to-back testing, the MXA wrecking crew discovered that, on average, lap times were identical between a YZ250 two-stroke and YZ250F four-stroke. Logic says since lap times are virtually identical, the man who gets to the first turn first should win. With a nine horsepower headstart, if a 250cc two-stroke doesn’t beat a 250cc four-stroke to the first turn, the rider needs to work on his technique.
Knowing this why would anybody racing in the 250 class buy a 4 stroke? I mean you could save a bunch of money and bring a gun to a knife fight... Only a retard would buy a 250F.
