Absolutely. Watched them in multiple races (Bennick beat Deegan in a futures race earlier in the season) and timed qualifying at multiple events (in which they were as fast or faster than Deegan). Beaumer and Bennick are just as fast as Deegan, who finished second in the points. Those guys are ready. The young talent coming up in the 250 class is fantastic.

I hate all of those wall type jumps. They add nothing, slow the race to almost a dead stop, bunch up riders, and cause awkward crashes. They lost a key 250 rider and almost a key 450 rider. Rethink having the stupid obstacle.

Nobody cares.

At first I was hearing wrist injury. But now they are saying it’s his ego. I guess dudes getting waxed at the practice track.

You hear stew say 71 to go haha

I'm all for this series!!! DB is the right person for this with commentary, his banter is next level and Carson shit he will ride literally anything and hold it south.

Would be nice if they made a rule you had to race the coast you live in decided by what side of the Mississippi River you live…no rentals either, where your drivers license is documented at

You can always delete this.

I rode a 2017 with a full exhaust and mapping to suit back to back with a 2022 and I way preferred the 2017.

We might have a discussion gong on where we are caught between how we feel on a bike versus how fast we actually are when we are keeping lap times. Knowing a few of you and being on the track with you -OR- seeing you race, in some cases, I can say the following: OB is happier and rides faster laps longer on a 350. Also, 350s seem to last FOREVER for that dude. When Austin was racing, he shredded on a 450 while riding the same way a lot of us do on a 350…including revving it. We’re onto...

Watch every single video on Youtube that compares 350 lap times to 450 lap times with people of all skill levels and every single time the 350 wins hands down by massive margin. The lap time difference is usually between 1-2 seconds per lap and every time the dim wits say they have to ride a 450 because the torque… they just can’t see through the proof!

If you practice and ride tracks only 350s makes no sense to me at all . Why modify it other than suspension. It’s already more than a 250 and will never be a 450.

From MXA: Q: HOW MUCH DOES THE 2017 YZ250F WEIGH? A: At 222 pounds, the Yamaha is one pound heavier than last year.Dec 5, 2016. The 2024 model is 231 lbs. I personally like the 17 and 18 Yamaha 250f over any of the newer YZ250F's.

I’d honestly have to go with a YZ250 in that scenario.

I don't get why so many go crazy for the Austrian bikes. I race off road and out of all the people I see broke down I don't think I have ever seen a Jap bike. I'm not saying they don't break but you rarely see them dead on the track. My friend just sold his gas gas 250F after having a bunch of problems with and after watching me put a bunch of trouble free hours on my honda he went and bought a KTM. LOL
