Here's a motion graphic that shows the intake side from the Yamaha site: https://www.yamahamotorsports.com/media/video/MY27_YZ250_Hero.mp4

Release states it has a finger follower valve train. But that engine pic looks like the current cam on top of the valve buckets? Possible the followers are only on intake side?

Should be a shoe-in for 3rd. This series seems to take at least one or two steps back every year. Anyone miss the CMRC yet?

he did not get disqualified for the first turn move. he was dq'ed for receiving outside assitance from when he crahed later in the moto.

I'm never a fan of smaller side number plates, but these ones just look smaller because of the black piece. A set of graphics will clean that up. The front number plate looks bad now, but I thought the same thing about the 23', and it grew on me. The bike is probably great and looks fine, or at least will look fine. Sometimes change looks ugly at first. Just my $.02.

The new plastic style that GasGas went is ugly af to me and the previous gen looked way better.

Manufacturing is not coming back to America and even if ...that would need to be a 5 to 10 year plan. Also, if it did in a big way, expect a massive increase in the toxic pollution rate to air, lands, lakes, rivers. Thousands of factories will have to dump their toxic waste somewhere, under trump there will be no epa regulations. For the Olympics in China they had to stop production until the yellow tinted air could clear, imagine that here. Any new manufacturer that decided to build a factory in America, it would be highly automated with robots...

Little update. Jake’s been flying to Dallas to Denver Monday-Friday staying at Craig Hospital in an exoskeleton trail. Rides the bus than train for Dia to Craig and than back. We Went to the Dallas Smx for his first time back to a track since injury. Which was awesome but hot af. Last week I drove down to Craig and had lunch with him on Wednesday than on Thursday He was able to do a couple steps with a walker!!! Man you don’t have any idea how fucking pumped that had me. Kids a tough soab and honestly just has...

Hey everyone, I just wanted to give you an update on Jake. It's been about a month since he finished outpatient rehab, and he's been hitting the therapy gym a couple of times a week. He's slowly but surely making progress, gaining a little more movement each time. Oh, and the big news is that our dad installed hand controls in Jake's truck, so now he can drive! He's really enjoying the freedom of being able to drive himself around. His favorite thing so far has been hitting up Quick Trip, getting them to pump his gas, and grabbing a...

I had a MC350 for a while back to back with my YZ250 and the 350 is staggeringly more powerful than the YZ250. The power difference from a 350 to a 450 was hard for me to discern at times. If you buy a 350 you are in for a serious upgrade in the power department. I ultimately went back to my YZ250 full time and sold the 350 because of suspension issues and power delivery made the bike hard to ride for very long.

Between the three the OP asked about, the yz will be the best bet. Won't have to mess with suspension settings beyond clickers, 160 isn't too heavy. Put some fuel in it and go.

So far, the suspension doesn’t bother me. The rear is excellent and the front is a bit harsh on really rough tracks. The only 250F I’ve ridden was an older CRF and I thought it was pathetic. Not much more than a fat, heavy feeling 125. This 350 is light years faster than that 250.
