In the last 8 years Beta has released a 300, 250, 200 and 125 all with modern designs. TM has updated their lineup with fuel injection, e-start and counterbalancers. Sherco has created a 300, 250 and 125. Reiju (former Gas Gas) has a 300 and a 250.
This thread title is dead wrong that only Yamaha is left. I'm glad for the Yamaha and 2-stroke lovers that something new is coming. Some owner's will never consider a boutique brand (like KTM used to be) and that's OK. You speak with your wallet and other's will do the same. Sorry the Beta's were sold out when you were looking.
Still using the 2004 spec stuff on the 2-strokes.

If you're out here calling BNG you've got a personal issue with Yamaha, you want it to just be BNG for some reason.
A completely redesigned liquid-cooled 125cc two-stroke engine boasts increases to mid- and top-end power over the 2021 model.
New Brake System
To match increased engine performance, an updated lightweight braking system features larger front pistons, a more rigid caliper, a redesigned 270mm front rotor with a 30% increase in pad contact area and higher friction pad material, all combining to provide exceptional braking power and feel. The redesigned rear rotor maintains the same braking power while dropping outer diameter from 245mm to 240mm, further reducing unsprung weight with no compromise on performance.
Improved Rider Ergonomics
A new flatter seat and more narrow fuel tank design, along with smoothly integrated body panels and slimmer shroud width combine to enable greater freedom of movement forward and back, allowing the rider to easily shift body weight for increased control and confidence.
Revised Suspension Damping
Taking the YZ125's class-defining suspension and handling characteristics to a new level, front and rear suspension has been revised to further improve bump absorption and cornering performance. KYB® inverted front fork now includes a leaf spring in the mid-speed valve for increased performance and comfort.
Improved Fueling
New high-precision Hitachi Astemo® Keihin PWK38S carburetor features a power jet, throttle position sensor and 3D-map-controlled CDI unit for precise ignition timing. The result is clean, crisp throttle response, superior rideability and excellent over-rev character.
New Air Intake Design
Updated intake design allows for a straighter, more efficient draw of air into the intake tract.
New, Modern YZ Styling
Slimmer, more aggressive bodywork including new front and rear fender design, slimmer body panels and new radiator shrouds all integrate with a bold new graphics scheme to highlight the YZ's unmatched racing pedigree. Premium Yamaha Blue and dark blue graphics are now embedded to provide excellent durability and scratch resistance.
Powerful New YZ125 Engine
The new YZ125's two-stroke engine represents an increase in power and usability over the 2021 model. Nearly every functional part of the engine is new—from the cylinder body, cylinder head, piston, piston pin, connecting rod, crankcase and expansion chamber, to a revised cylinder port shape and updated cylinder port timing. It's a change that is immediately apparent at the first crack of the throttle and throughout the entire rpm range.
New Air Intake Design
Updated intake design allows for a straighter, more efficient draw of air into the intake tract.
Yamaha Power Valve System
Patented YPVS™ combines crisp, hard-hitting bottom-end acceleration with strong mid-range and top-end.
Close-Ratio Transmission
Revised six-speed, close-ratio transmission has wider transmission gear tooth width and new, optimized gear ratios for maximum performance.
Digital Ignition
Digital CDI system delivers precise spark and monitors engine speed to ensure optimal timing for faster, stronger response during hard acceleration.
High-Capacity Radiator
Large-capacity radiator features a 10-row core with blacked-out louvers to deliver an aggressive look and maximum cooling efficiency.
First one in at Power is mine:-)
Pit Row
Same body work, seat, brakes, intake and suspension updates as the 125.

As far as performance, looks like the 250 just got the newer/better front brake the 4 strokes have, which is good because the old unit was pretty bad.
This is great and just hope the 250 sees some big updates next year. Seems like they are on that course!
Not a bad thing if true.
2lb increase listed wet weight, but also lost .3 gallons (about 2lbs) of fuel.
