If you got one, what color would you go with, blue or white?

Have to change it up sometime!

The blue, and quickly remove the blue rims and install silver rims.

I would get the blue and leave it the way it is. Slap some white background number plate decals with my number that blend in with the rest of the bike. I think Yamaha has the best looking graphics on their stock bikes. Looks like the old factory bikes from the early 2000's. Nice and clean look. Can't wait to ride my '18 in August.

You can tell that thing definitely sits flatter in the rear. I find the rims to be ok looking, but would also prefer silver. Also like the front fender more than the old style. As I noted earlier it looks more like a Honda fender, but with that Yamaha twist...err...droop.

Good grief! Forgot to say I'd prefer the traditional blue overall, but I wouldn't kick the white to the curb.

I wonder how many people that hate the blue wheels are going to purchase the white one and just switch the plastics to blue.

Personally I like both but would get the blue one.

Since I'd get blue I'd get the YZ 250. More to my liking. Braaap.

Well Factory Yamaha use to be silver it's blue now. Only silver wheels I really like are the Factory Honda bikes with the red hubs. Those look awesome.

Bikes looked a lot cleaner in the era before the claw was plastered everywhere but sadly they are needed and are here to stay.

I'm still an "All YZ's should be yellow" guy.. probably because I'm old.

I was thinking the same thing.

Me three.

I don't find that light blue version at all appealing.

Dang guys, I'm just not a fan of the yellow. Got into the sport too late for the nostalgia to really be there. I just don't like the color yellow on most bikes.

I will contradict that though and say that I have a buddy with the yellow 250 and it looks nice. Just don't think I could ever own a yellow bike.

Between the two, I prefer the traditional blue. Something about the white/teal that I cannot not get on board with

White edition. TM wants their rims back...
The bikes look noticeably slimmed down. They really don't look so "different" shall I say. I'm a fan.

I'd take whichever one someone would want to buy from me most. God, those things are hideous looking!

Either, but take those fucking blue rims off straight away. Awful.

I'd take either however the white reminds me a little bit of the WR500 so that would be my pick if I were buying.

Well shit, I better get some white safety pins too. I've been wearing blue one's since the fourth place finish of the YZ250f in Vital's shootout last fall upset everyone.

No, Henry is correct. Silver would suit the rest of the bike well... it's a much cleaner graphics package now harkening back to their 04ish bikes...

I agree. They need to stop it with the black rims.
