2025 250 Motocross Shootout - Which Bike Is Best?? - Cycle News

[@harm97]

Great test and you're right,the YZ250F is for sure the best bike

[@cyclenews]

Thanks for watching!

[@sdb92]

HONDA and SUZUKI! 🤙🏻😉

[@Phitzgood]

Would an enduro bike shootout be possible? All 300 enduro 2 stroke bikes from Beta, Fantic, Ktm/Husq, Sherco and Rieju.

Think you'll enjoy this one - kzbin.info/www/bejne/lX6UpJemhNGMbacsi=knvXec-FrgIQitc9

[@Salamiii-tc5he]

Really been liking these CN videos recently ! Thank you CN Keep it up

[@cyclenews]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@MoistureMagnet]

Thank you for waiting to have ALL of the bikes and doing a proper shootout unlike every other channel. Also thank you for not going down the “this bike would be phenomenal with A Kit suspension and $5000 of accessories” route lol

[@cyclenews]

You got it. Even kept the tires the same as they are from the factory.

[@E63s_Scott]

Nice review ofc the popularity vote won, I do like the yzf250 but every time I go to buy one I ride it, hate hos loud they are and underpowered.. sorry they feel rapid but on track getting over junks and hanging with ktms down the straights it’s harder also durability just isn’t matched to a ktm for long term ownership I keep going orange no matter how hard I try not too

[@JimG1964]

The low and overlapped gearing plus the sound and quick rev limiter make you feel and think you're riding faster on the yamaha. Also, yamaha more forgiving if you pick the wrong gears in corners etc. so popular with your average rider.

[@TheGunnWV]

An XC model shootout? Yz 250fx, KX 250x, Crf 250rx, and KTM 250 xc f

[@edking9336]

Praising a bike for being loud is pretty odd.

[@EDDIE-c7f8y]

There are shootouts that actually dock it in points due to it being too loud LOL.

[@matiasmaldonado510]

Yeah I've seen that too, yamahas are for men, not for princesses lol.​@EDDIE-c7f8y

[@E63s_Scott]

@@EDDIE-c7f8ybut it is too loud… it should be docked. the power doesn’t match the sound I don’t wanna hear forced to ride in ear plugs lose my hearing 😂

[@kungfu2toe]

Your 2 loud 🎉

[@JimG1964]

Nice reviews and information. I think triumph will be force if they get the mapping figured out.

[@cyclenews]

Thank you! Definitely agree.

[@erickloza21]

Blucrew !! 😊

[@AngryyBeaverr]

I’m a KTM guy and always will be but the 2022-2025 YZ250s are insane

[@michellatour150]

Apart from the latest body styling, the YZ250 has been the same bike since 2005 (even further for the engine) and, that's actually a very good thing, great package so no reason to change it.

[@EDDIE-c7f8y]

@@michellatour150 Actually that's not true . The YZ250 is a completely different bike from 2024 onward .

[@michellatour150]

@@EDDIE-c7f8y As I understand we are talking about the YZ250 (2-stroke) here. Apart from cosmetic changes over the years, it's essentially unchanged (engine, frame, suspension) since 2005.

[@commentaccount49]

A good shootout for finding out which bike is best for Glen Helen...

[@cyclenews]

Thanks but we did our test this year at Fox Raceway.

Bro fasthouse homie was throwing down 🤘

He rips for sure.

[@ryllyduc1198]

Feel like Betas motocross bike could've been added. Also if Ducati makes a 450 and 250 for the public in a year or so that would be neat to add to the group at that time.

[@cyclenews]

Beta only has a 450 at this time.

[@ryllyduc1198]

@cyclenews you're absolutely right that was my mistake.

[@michellatour150]

At only 100$ USD cheaper than any other 250F, the Suzuki isn't a good value. At least 500$ (or more) would be more realistic for a seven year old model which has seen no updates. Luckily US dealers significantly rebate 'leftovers' by model year's end but here in Canada dealers still ask full MSRP....and of course are stuck with them.

[@OtisFlint]

It's terrible value. The resale on a Suzuki is comparable to used bubble gum, making it a very expensive bike to own for a couple of years.

[@Daniel-r6q3q]

Interesting results ? Josh M at MXA gave the Yamaha 4th place ? I trust MXA, they have Pro's riding the bikes.

[@cyclenews]

MXA does a great job! Thanks for watching

[@brennanbarnwell4948]

They are trying save KTM!! MXA always loves KTMs!!

[@EDDIE-c7f8y]

@@brennanbarnwell4948 100% true .

[@harm97]

Don't believe MXA,they get paid by KTM and always picked ktm over the years. Cycle news and other testers also choose Yamaha as the winner..only MXA not
