Bike Test: 2021 Yamaha YZ250F (Product Review)

Overall Review
Following the pattern of most OEMs over the last few years, Yamaha threw a ton of changes at their 450 machine and a year later, that new platform shows up in a 250 version. The short version is that the 2021 YZ250F got the same frame, triple clamps, brakes, as the YZ450F along with changes to the head, air box, air intake and exhaust.

Bike Test: 2020 Yamaha WR250F Review (Product Review)

Overall Review
Trickle-down economics may be a bit controversial but trickle-down dirt bike technology is pretty awesome. In 2019, the Yamaha YZ250F got an all-new frame, heavily updated motor, and a trove of other changes that kept the blue machine at the top of the shootout podium (ours, at least). Obviously, the YZ is a motocross bike and the changes were focused on making it a better one. But that doesn't mean that they won't work for on off-road bike. Case in point, the 2020 WR250F. Now, all three 250cc four-stroke dirt bikes from Yamaha (YZ, FX, and WR) share the same frame and most of the the same...
