Too bad they don't offer the 2 strokes in the red and white color scheme.

seems like they are taking the Banshee approach again with the YZ's. take something that sells great, don't update it for 10 years, put new plastic and graphics on and keep selling them.

nothing wrong with that. it worked for the Banshee from 1987 or so to the 2000's.

still love my '01 YZ250

Plastic is new. Frame looks like same design, but looks different and new. The forks are different. The motor looks different on the left side. I'm ready to upgrade my 11 250SX

Maybe I missed it but I didn't see a picture of the 250's left side to see where the motor is different?!
Yea ...you probably haven't seen the left side of the 250 if you have just been limiting yourself to Vital. Also, the left side still shows a carb.

Sweet! So all we have to do to update our fleet of YZ85's is buy new plastics?.......That makes me happy and sad at the same time...............

Glad to see an upgrade. The fenders and shrouds look a lot like the restyled UFO plastic I have on my YZ. But personally, I think my UFO side panels look better than the 2015's.

This, along with kids qualifying for lorettas on 1980's machinery, really highlights the folly of the constant drive to have the newest machine possible. I know guys who would rather quit riding than accept any machine older than a year or two. These same idiots will happily ride a 2014 YZ250...cause it says 2014 on it. In reality it is a 2005 model, though you could argue it is a 2000 model slightly warmed over. Those same guys would rather cut their own nuts off with a rusty butter knife than ride a 2000 YZ426, for example.

I personally think that if I could find a 2003 CRF450R with low hours in original shape, I could easily set it up to be just as good as anything ese out there. flame away, Vital sheep flock...

as "anti-4stroke" as i've been the last couple years, i honestly wish i never sold my '07 CRF450 to buy my KTM 300.

instead, i wish i had kept it for a "moto" bike, and still bought the KTM 300 for my "everything else and even a little moto" bike. as awesome as my 300 is, i never had an issue with my 450 and it was an absolute monster on the track.

I am going to buy a 2015 YZ250 (I currently own a 2008 model). I have started to buy some cool parts that I will trick the bike with. I went on here to find some inspiration but could not find many picturers on tuned/tricked out 2015 YZ250 or YZ125 models. Ofcourse, the 2015 bike is still new, so thats the reason. Should I start a new topic/thread with title Pictures of 2015 YZ250 & YZ125" or shall we just keep on posting in this topic/thread? I mean, its a good name/title (2015 YZ250) for this.
