Yamaha's Done it Again Yamaha Intro's a New 4-Stroker
I HELP YAMAHA TEST MOST OF THIER BIKE & THIS BIKE IS COOL!
I HAD FUN RIDING THIS BIKE WITH MC,FERRY & VUILLEMIN. I WAS WHIPING IT FARTHER THEN MY 125 & 250 !
From the leaders in 4-stroke off-road technology, Yamaha is pleased to introduce the all-new YZ250F.
This extreme performance 4-stroke motocross bike, designed to run in the 125 class, weighs less than some 250cc 2-stroke machines. (You read this correctly.) It has a liquid-cooled dual overhead cam engine with Yamaha's exclusive 5-valve head design. Each of the engines' five valves is made of lightweight titanium for quick engine response and dramatic acceleration. The engine is capable of revving to 13,500 rpm. The chassis is all YZ. It has an aluminum subframe and fully adjustable suspension. The YZ250F has the same fully floating front disc brake that is found on the YZ426F. Once again, Yamaha's innovation and leadership in off-road technology shine with this proud addition to the YZ family.
