Anyone know? Depending on when that is , I have to make a choice on one of those or just pick up an 18'. The TC 250 is what I'm asking about.
Changes? I think I heard possible chassis , plastics , motor , ect.... Any truth to this?

So i would imagine that the 2019 will be revealed around the same time this year. But when they hit the dealer floors is a different question. I would imagine that we'll see the first ones at the dealers within 2-4 months.
The Shop
But the 250, who knows. Would they only do 2 years with the 17 and 18 250 2-stroke? That is also what i'll wait on. I might get the SX 250 if it gets the updated frame instead of a 450.
Or were these issues mostly personal opinions and or internet speculation? ( ratio issues with 250 and failure with the 125 )
What do owners of the 17 / 18 models have to say?
I'd like to get a new 250 two stroke next year and while I'm not entirely sick of the same old same old from Yamaha...I'm pissed at having to pay more for a 13 year old design two stroke than I would the current 450 ( that's the way it usually works out here )
I would be inclined to make the jump to KTM, but I have a mate with a 17 who agrees totally with th MXA review of that bike,that tthe gap between second and third is too close...combined with the hard hitting power ,he finds it annoying and would prefer better spacing so as to take better advantage of that power...
At this point I am just going for a 2018. I can't really see how the 2019 could be that much better unless it came with a Lectron/EFI. May post a thread tomorrow.
Ive been quoted 8064 OTD to 8300 OTD. There are very few on dealer floors it appears.
Just watch me beat 38 other 450’s on a 4th gear uphill start, lol whatever gear ratios I’ve got seam to work fine for me!

Did you encounter any transmission problems on your 125 yet Jeffro?
Pit Row
125's are cheap fun. So much more fun than my 17 450..
Bought a bunch of parts to rebuild my 125, but I've got the first round of the gold cup series at the Oz Nationals coming up in two weeks and I haven't got the $ $ to get the cylinder re plated and the new con rod fitted in my crank...plus I have no idea what transmission parts are gonna need replacing
Just gonna have to run her like she is and pray my crank doesn't blow..
Yesterday on my mates brand new track...I'm on the yz 125...was cursing because I couldn't get it to shift up one more gear before the big double until I realised it was actually in sixth
I'd love a husky/ KTM 125... But we make do with what we can afford and just have fun with it.
So happy I'm only little..at 52 I'm still a perfect size and weight for a 125..
