JGR built Yamaha YZ250 2 project - Dirt Bike Magazine

A little throwback to a bike we build several years ago for the magazine. A JGR built Yamaha YZ250 2 stroke. This bike features a ton of trick components and we got to shake it down in Idaho with the WPS crew.

It may be an older video but looking at the bike will never get old.

[@threefiddyone]

I would touch that bike sexually. YZ250s are the best sounding 250 2 stroke ever made

[@craigloomis20]

now that is some good dirt.

[@jblob5764]

craigloomis20 try Washougal

[@dirtbikeguy2219]

Such a beautiful bike

[@elcincero321]

JUSES CHIRST q

[@Fishballs]

lmfao

[@joshw3719]

Love the bike man I am building my yz250 right now. How did you get that rough finish look off of your motor? Great video great bike man!

[@Jess-db3yf]

That is bad ass!

[@Sleepy.Time.]

I can understand why Honda wont bring back 2 strokes and Kawasaki is frankly to large to care but Suzuki is just throwing way money by not producing the RM250 and RM125 again.

[@davidhilton5414]

Sleepy .Time I don't know how Suzuki stays in business without 2 strokes honestly

[@Sleepy.Time.]

Something that boggles my mind about Suzuki is they helped put pressure on the AMA to kill off the 500 class while at the same time developing a rather good 500cc two stroke engine for their Quadzilla. The management at Suzuki and the choices it makes really does leave one wondering sometimes.

[@brayden8254]

Suzuki is a big Car manufacture

[@Sleepy.Time.]

@Brayden - Yeah remember when the Suzuki Samurai jeep was really popular but I am not sure their auto division is doing all that well these days. Perhaps they would sell enough RM125s and 250s to fund their race teams since the fourstroke sales clearly are not (Suzuki shut down their factory GP 250 and 450 efforts this year and have not had a full factory team in the US since Dungey raced for them).

[@lachypetersen1015]

Sleepy .Time JGR are full factory suzuki......

[@donbrashsux]

Nice clutch cover

[@mxrider2strokebraaap54]

Amazing bike😍

[@beauv2245]

Didn't they do this a long time ago? I feel like I've seen this before.

[@DirtBikes_MathGarden]

I will have a bike this nice one day.

[@davidgibson8980]

that sound

[@chriscardoza9714]

Wish l could ride one again...

[@billsmith9610]

What you guys couldn't get Ryan Villopoto there to test it yet ?

[@2_strokesmoke]

Is that the WPS private track?

[@steviedee71]

Add blow it’s doors off lol bike is sick AF

[@jameskirk5906]

Sweet braaaap!! MAGA 2024!!!

[@Foleyathome]

Sweet looking bike, sounds awesome. Now put it head to head with a 2018 yzf450 and cut the PR. Bull crap and tell how it actually is. Hope the 2T scores well.

[@PgTrAxX]

Now that's a backplate where you can put number on. I rather have this kind of back plates than the new slim ones "a la KTM". Maybe a little bit slimmer than this one. (Yeah, i'm bitchy like that xD )

[@ctrott4824]

What is the name of that song? Does anyone know?

[@50STUNT]

That bike needs an ESR325 big bore kit to smoke a 450. 250cc go to torque

[@eddiesanders7575]

got no torque your right

[@rexburn1955]

This video is a few years old.

[@McNamEvan]

Help me understand why no big manufacturer will make a big bore 2 stroke

[@eddiesanders7575]

esr325/345

[@endurotruckererniedesjardins]

Because they want to sell 4 strokes as the flagship race bike. Some say its emissions but thats horse shit. There aint no emission friendly 4 stroke race bikes anyway. I think the main reason is to sell bikes that cost way more. Cost way more to fix and maintain meaning they make more cash off us suckers that buy 4 strokes. The noise of 4 strokes successfully closed down my local track. The noise closed my buddies track in sudbury also. We only had the odd complaint before the 4 stroke craze started. Id ride electric bikes if it meant we could re-open our tracks. So use your heads kids... loud bikes.... close riding areas...

[@trentalexander9742]

still only using corners for video....

[@moto367]

no kidding! At least we know it corners. Be nice to see some video on the whoops or jumps.

[@heller127]

I never saw a motorcycle with doors

[@JustinMentionedIt]

Oh wow this bike is made for turns ! Awesome 😂😂😂😂 shit get good footage

[@tensonly6665]

Track I’d?

[@mattcaudell9972]

Why does....the narrator........talk......like this.

[@jayfelix2976]

Matt Caudell because he’s probably reading from a list.

[@chris092183]

better than duhril from mxa

[@thedeans9506]

Thanks for the narrative from the guy that doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

[@jblob5764]

This guy sounds like he's uncomfortably reading from a piece of paper

[@russm466]

For the love of two strokes dump the lame music.

[@maverick2242]

Sick bike, now stop talking about how it is a 450 4t kick arse destroyer and put that thing up against an 18YZ450 and smash that 4t and show all these easily manipulated millennials that 2t rule, always have always will, only marketing and rules have held back the technology of the superior 2t, this is what a real SX/MX bike should sound like, aim not anti 4t aim anti BS, and SX is not the place for 4t esp 450s!,, good work JGR better than before, stronger, faster, 6 million dollar “sounding 2t” better than the over priced twice the capacity and extra weight of the 450, wtf is wrong with this gen of rule makers, seriously.. sold out..

[@Wide000]

You may be a bit overexcited my friend... If a 250 2t could smash a 450 there would be plenty of these at the races... If there are none at a pro level it is just because the 450 is faster. Try the two back to back and you will easily understand why. Don't get me wrong, I love the two strokes and come myself from the two strokes era, but a 450 is on another level: instant, easy to use power everywhere.

[@maverick2242]

Wide000 nah mate too old to get over excited lol, just know bikes and riders unlike many have ridden raced both, I know whats what.

[@Wide000]

Well, I own both a 250 2t and a 450 4t and I can tell you that the 450 is something else. Nowadays, the comparison is more between the same displacement. For exemple, here in the Canadian Nationals, the riders can choose to ride a 4t or a 2t of the same displacement. Roughly, in the 250 class, there are like 2/3 of the guys on 4t and 1/3 on the 2t. This year the 4t dominate and were in front, while a few years back, a 2t won the championship. It really mostly depends on the rider. Motocross Action have a great article comparing a 250 4t and a 250 2t. The 2T is stronger but have a much narrower, harder to use powerband. All in all, the lap times are very similar but it is much easier to be consistent on the 4t.

[@Wide000]

motocrossactionmag.com/you-asked-for-it-motocross-actions-two-stroke-versus-four-stroke-shootout-yamaha-yz250-versus-yamaha-yz250f/

[@bobriley000444]

there are certain circumstances where a 2t has an advantage but overall the 4t's are faster and more capable with a good rider and bike setup and then with some engine work there's no debate

[@AaronMartinCOOLVIDEO]

Hey I will trade you my tri Z for that YZ250

[@endurotruckererniedesjardins]

Im sure if that tri-z is clean enough and near original someone who collects trikes would buy you a brandnew yz250 to own a tri-z. I got 4500 bucks for a like new very very low hours 83 trimoto 200e that was show room mint.

[@akathecanadian]

Y’all need a pop filter on your mic to stop those PPPPPPPOPping P’s

[@DinoAungpe]

Hit some jumps already stop with the damn berms

[@keiannschyler]

old video.

[@donbrashsux]

It would get smoked by a 450..after doing all that mods..

[@ismackherbiehind]

I would do dirty dirty things to this bike

[@mattdedasc]

Great bike but stop fucking with the camera focus. It's very annoying.

[@Huckabuck2]

Old video...

[@jasons44]

U best keep it, Japan is cutting your own throats by doing this! There not going to build a better ktm and called it honda---

[@craigloomis20]

now that is some good dirt.
