Factory YZ250F VS YZ250 Two Stroke!

[@Lazyj59]

I’m one of those guys that haven’t ridden off-road since the early 90’s my last MX race was about 1985 and then last year on a whim I raced 2 moto’s I borrow a bike, I finished both motors dead last, but was smiling from ear to ear. Last month I bought 2001 RM 250 and have been going to our local MX park and practicing. The really cool part is I’m out there with my son and my two granddaughters so there’s three generations out there enjoying life on a bike!!! In December I’ll turn 64.

[@scottpeters8640]

I love to hear the words Brian spoke at the end of this video. Very solid core beliefs and he stands by them. Bravo !!

[@ignaciocardenal2839]

Exactly what I was about to write! 👍🏼

[@Keystoneriders1]

Could not agree more

[@dylangates1801]

Agreed

[@ihiohoh2708]

Absolutely. This was the first video I ever watched here, but wow this was a very informative video and to top it off him actually showing he has a backbone in this messed up world. God bless him and his family. Keep up the fight!

The Deegans are a perfect balance of having fun and being serious. It’s so refreshing in this sport that’s steadily setting the bar higher and higher each year for the athletes

[@palsolberg6813]

Like the old sound of the 2 stroke. Great video. From🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴

[@Scandle68]

I'm a 54 year old Texas boy from a small oilfied town. I grew up racing motocross, playing football, cruising the drag, and knowing if i talked shit i better be able to back it up in person. I'm on board with the message you try to get across to people and i respect how you throw it into a video here and there. It's a good thing to do. Respect. 👊👊

[@anthonycrill5478]

I only watch the video barely one time. And it looks to me like you're faster on the 2 stroke, than on the 4 stroke.

[@sean.d7171]

Brian your a genuine good dude putting effort into showing the 250t Is not cheating having it race in the 250 4 class. Lots of guys missing out due to the cost of a full race motor. Respect

[@Sanguine_Addiction]

Nothing but love for two-strokes. I grew up riding two-stroke dirt bikes & sport quads and they've always been my default preference. Current ride is a 2017 YZ250X with a SmartCarb and Scott's stabilizer. STUPID amounts of fun to ride BRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPP!! Mr. Deegan, God bless you for your faith and dedication to family!

[@mtb_prodigy4856]

After the Danger Smoke video, we all wanted to see a comparison, kid sends it on anything and Brian sending the factory bikes is sick 🔥

[@Nunya_Binness]

There’s no better sound in the world than a blitzed out 2 stroke!🎶🎵👂🏽

[@Garage533Ohio]

Brian seems like such a down to earth guy and such a cool dude. I really appreciate his segments of what he's doing and thinking and I will never get tired of him just shooting the shit with us 👍👍

[@MrDbiker004]

I remember dirt bike vids from the 90s when there was a segment with goofy style riding. Thx for the throwback B. Good to see us vet riders with a sense of humor. Ronnie mac can't be the only...

[@chongorlz9716]

Gets on a 2-stroke and immediately turns into Uncle Ron 🤣 that clutch work was sick!

[@davidwelch40]

You Rock Brain, love the man you became these days. It's hard to change the person you were to who you are Now. Congratulations!!! Love the New & wise dude you become!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🇺🇸💪✊🏻✊🏻🙏🏻

[@marvinfrenchy8754]

Great video. But i really enjoyed what you had to say at the end. Been riding 44 years. Family rides and we have the same core values that you do. It seems that a good amount of dirtbike familys are like that. Was really fun to watch you and Haiden riding together on the two stroke video.

[@kevinsnow9157]

Brian you are the definition of a true American ambassador !!! So we’ll spoken and such a good role model for these kids !!! Keep up the good fight and keep helping the next generation. And definitely keep putting out these excellent videos .

[@bubaa1218]

Brian Doesn’t like the tight jerseys, he says it every time he puts it on😂😂

[@Ccrider363]

I’m not nearly as fit as hom and I hate them as well lol

[@AndyHack10]

Not a fan of them either 😅

[@steveselby3015]

Love how he always brings up faith, so inspiring. Thank you Bryan. I’ve been riding since I was 4 and I’m 26 now and I learn something every time you have one of these videos. Never been a suspension guy now I know I need to mess around with it. Thanks again brother. God bless

[@oceanpout5232]

Thanks, Mr Degan, your core values are what we should all strive for, Thank you so much for sharing that with us!

[@FN_Zebo24]

Love the words Briann uses, Brian for the DANGER SMOKE it was sooo good with you in it. Im so happy to see Haiden whipping that 2 stroke around in DANGER SMOKE!! Getting to see what Brian can do on a bike is so fun to watch.

[@Backcountrybear]

I like how Brian is so down to earth seems like such a nice guy

[@EarthSurferUSA]

Try to take his kids bike with a claiming rule,---and that "Mr. Nice guy", stops being nice,---and become more moral with an attitude. Theft is theft, and I am very glad he stood his ground about property rights.

[@daneg]

really fun watching/listening to brian talk about adjusting the bike in the field. thanks as always!

[@treywagner2539]

B. Deegan’s side stories are the best. I remember when that race happened! Epic!💥🔥 The story about him riding the 250cc class with Honda of Troy & qualifying for both mains is siccccckkkkk👏🙌

[@joelbabcock2952]

I love your compassion and integrity. Your kids are great racers. That’s secondary to raising them with solid core values. That’s what really matter. God Bless you brother.

[@rebelyankee4458]

Im 54 now ! Wow! I been watching and rooting for the Deegan clan my whole life. What a good man you turned out to be with an amazing family! Love you man !

[@stephdiesel2110]

“Christianity is my base but this is my outlet” one of the coolest quotes I’ve heard on this channel and a big personal encouragement. Love what y’all do, thanks!

[@TheHabsrule4]

I could seriously listen to you talk for hours Brian!!! You and your personality is exactly what this crazy world needs more of... God bless and good luck with the rest of the season Hayden!!!!!

[@AntiPattern328]

Its unfortunate you can't jump on one of the KTM enduro 2-Strokes to see how that works on the trails and hills as opposed to the 4-Stroke. When you see Erzberg and hard enduro, 90% of the guys are on the big bore 2-Stroke with the big flywheel that REALLY makes them torque monsters! That would be fun to see you try one.

[@underthetrees4780]

100%, if you're going to take a race bike and do some trails maybe Brian is right, but a purpose built offroader 2strokes are far more technical.

[@jaredlange]

can confirm, even on my 98 kx 250, idle rpm wheelies in all gears with no clutch!! Been riding 2 strokes for over 20 years consistently and by far my favorite mod ever. flywheel weights work

[@chrisvids1820]

​@jaredlange yeah buddy! I ride a 1996 KX250. It's got some great bottom end for a 250! I haven't tried the flywheel weight yet, but I'd like to

[@JRF76476]

The 250x is really good in the woods and hard enduro. Really need Yamaha to add the electric start and a 300 option. It would be right there with the European enduro bikes. The KYB suspension is so much better than the WP.

[@vntgstks]

My 1999 KTM 200 EXC rips up hills.

[@adamrustico8887]

Both those bikes are sick, no doubt. Between two stroke and four stroke, the two strokes have more power, but they are less fuel efficient than a four stroke. But either way, it was a lot of fun just watching Brian rip through the track with both dirt bikes and getting the feel for them. 🔥💪

[@FaceDef56]

Watching this made me smile. Brian all the injuries and adversity you have been through in life I am so glad you are with us. I enjoy watching you and your kids along the journey of life. Peace

[@samheaton4145]

Love this guy!! Such a legend in the sport AND more importantly a great husband, father and man! Instilling a great legacy within his family and in the world!

[@michaelpowell1932]

Sometimes your just born with it.. that love and passion for motorcycles.. I felt it back in the 80s when I saw the Honda Cub..I was born in 82.. General you speak the truth my man 🤘🏾

[@CCARDOSO32]

Definitely love the ending of this video! Faith, Family, Freedom🇺🇸🔥

[@lifewithtls6485]

being a fan of Brian's for a very long time it is awesome to see his growth and his ownership of the person he was, and the man he has become. Keep doing you.

[@manassamauler7333]

Great video! I feel that they should allow 250 2 stroke to race with the 250 4 stroke!

[@ogPolen]

Brian's awesome! Grew up watching him and this channel shows the real and good passionate person he really is! No surprise all his kids are positive for models for my kids!

[@MrHeiss-my3co]

Thank you ! All through the years 1973 to now , with all the broken bones , torn ligaments and hard crashing I did , I still love my dirt bikes and riding with my nephews . I've been away for a few years now and they want Uncle to get another one . I'm still thinking about it and I will continue to be the pit mechanic for them as long as possible . Always give God the Glory . Thank you for the video , God bless you always and your family too .

[@gotlotsodirt9968]

You sure have come full circle brother. Thank you General for the immense contribution you have given to the dirt bike community. God bless you and your family.

[@Potterfam501]

From a father of three very young boys and us all enjoying these passions I appreciate your messages and point to stick to morals and push that thank you god bless

[@pedrogunner9750]

I appreciate that Brian is more than surface level and he also has similar beliefs to most people in the moto or blue collar world. I appreciate that he tries to talk about them in and indirect way and I understand what he’s doing. I wish he felt like he could be more direct. I know they get a lot of heat and I’m sure it’s frustrating.

[@jeffcreep]

Good stuff. God bless you guys. I really liked your words of wisdom st the end. I'm a desert rider here in SoCal and I love my YZ 250. My family loves you guys and we are huge fans. I hope for a massive amount of continued success for you and your family in everything that you guys do.

[@211Roberts]

Nothing like the sound and smell of two strokes! Great vid Brian! Thanks for sharing this!

[@michaellawson2984]

Love you Brian, I could listen to your advice on riding and setting up bikes all day. You're Faith and life advice as well. Great family you guys keep rippin.🙏.

[@brandonwhitaker8900]

I'm 33 and haven't ridden since I was probably 12-13. I'm gonna go with 250 2 stroke. I just know how it goes. If I got a 125 I'd want more in a month or 2 lol 4 stroke probably is the better choice but I love 2 strokes. It's what I had as a kid.

[@meluis11]

Dude you won't be disappointed. I started riding late at 28 😂 and the 250 2 stroke is definitely a riot.

[@zcole6612]

I couldn't be more happy for the young Man running the Red plate tomorrow . Hope he rides like he knows how and sticks to your teams game plan .

[@fredtaylor1205]

Those 4 bangers have a little too much pepper for Brian lol. Love how old school he is. The gear was definitely better back in the day. The bikes…couldn’t stand a chance against these rocket 🚀 ships on 2 wheels now. Amazing Danger boy got that red plate his rookie year. Hope he can hold that red plate up at the end of the season.

[@nickfay204]

I'm not sure if you know this but us that have been following since the start and been watching you since the 90s we care about you and your family a lot! So many people that have never met you but know you, it's crazy bud. Thanks to social and KZbin!

[@scottburrow8717]

Nothing beats that sound of the 2 stroke

[@allstrokes]

Very good talk on guiding people how to make the best out of their riding experience and most importantly how to be a better man to yourself and those around you. 🤜🏻🤛🏻

[@captainmorgen7737]

that little bit of suspension talk from brian was so damn good

[@jaredlange]

earned my sub with your outro brother. sporting a 11' Suzuki rm 85, 98 Kawasaki kx250... 2 strokes for life!! pit bike, wheelers.. got my 6 year old hooked already, being an alcohol free home we built a track too and looking for ideas there. The layout you have there looks incredible

[@henricusrealms8411]

Would love to see some lap time comparisons.

[@jdxjim]

No comparison--even on stock bikes--- Those new 4 strokes smoke the 2 strokers on the Track every time..... BUT MAN those 2 strokers sure are a Blast to drive--Fun Factor goes to the 2 bangers.

[@alexpat2502]

You guys are killin it, hope that Haiden bounces back after the last two weeks he's got me locked in watching motocross/supercross every weekend, everyones gotta realize he's a rookie going to these tracks for the first time without a bike setup yet, he got burried on the start a couple times these past two weeks but he always fights till the end which is awesome to see from a young kid.

[@Pac36511]

haiden deegan is looking good on the 2 strokes !

[@draleigh8881]

love those talks you have at the end there. at the end of the day if you can share some truths, you're making the world a better place little by little. just takes the person themself to really listen and get the message. it's so easy to be negative and point out the bad stuff but what's hard for most is to find the good and speak on that. I'm about the hard stuff in life now. never was before haha I always wanted the easy route but yet always wondered why whatever I did it never seemed like enough, or I wasn't that appreciative. nowadays I see the beauty in the hard fight. the fight for good. 💪

[@uncleyetti9553]

Brian should keep giving his two cents about this or that and spitting some bike knowledge like he did with suspension in this one. Pretty sure we all enjoy it and would want that to continue. Awesome video Deegan team!!

[@SGA_productions]

I seen haiden and halie at lorretas last year and got pic with both I’ve watch him evolve since he was on a 65❤

[@bbeck1162]

Gets me choked up hearing you talk about God and family. My wife left me a month ago and I totally didn't see it coming. You guys seem so tight and grounded. So good to see. I've been watching a lot of your stuff to try and distract myself from reality til I can get on to some happy times again.

[@JamesRonald212]

It’s crazy to see how far Haiden has come. It felt like yesterday he was racing 85s. Keep doing what you do ❤️

[@RichM0410]

Thanks for sharing your passions and thoughts on life. Just found this channel and love it! Started at 6 years old riding a Yamaha 60. Then a YZ 125 the fist year monoshock (76 I believe?) Then a TT600 and rode the Rainbow trail in Colorado for years. Rode till late 40s on my 96 YZ250. Have considered riding again at 61. Can’t do the stuff I used to when younger but to play around, feel the power and speed will forever be a part of me! You folks are certainly living a great life and happy for you. Watching your son’s career from the beginning as a pro will certainly be an enjoyment! Best of luck and thank you!

[@tdg911]

I remember when I started riding I bought a 4-stroke. I then bought a new 2007 2-stroke Kawi 250. When I went back to the 4-stroke I was amazed how much easier it was and the 2-stroke made me a much better rider. I miss my 2-stroke. I miss riding, period lol. People always project their weaknesses or negativity onto others. Like you said it just shows what type of person you're dealing with.

[@eugenespreutels8305]

Thats good stuff Brian, right there with you. Been riding and racing since 1980, still on a 2 stroke. Nothing like it.

[@Northwestmotomx]

Hey Brian. We need more bike set up vidz from you. You’re really good at explaining it. I appreciate it. I just sold my truck to buy a new bike and she’s bouncy as hell 😂 going to do what you said. Front end is pretty tall for sure

[@tannerslays]

Haven't ridden in a few years and looking at Yamahas!! I appreciate the insight and breakdown you gave between the two builds. Thank you for making this video!

[@pipejones1806]

I love hearing the lingo of what makes the bike feel better, and how Brian talks when setting up the bike to feel better

[@mikekenyon3322]

Exhaust smell should being back memories.

[@richyoung409]

I have a 2022 YZ250 monster edition and its the funnest bike i've ever thrown my leg over for sure, the new ergonomics make it so technical and just fun like brian said!! I never had a 250 2T before this bike and it completely changed my riding style and made me so much better in technique and control aspect!!!! I love my bike its wicked!!

[@dannyt800]

I raced GNCC in high school. I will always prefer a 2smoker to a 4stroke. I have three sons and Brian sets a great example. Keep it up bud!!

[@shaunhall525]

You are such a good father. Haiden is probably the best natured youn man I have ever seen. Theses haters are just jealous. Keep up the good work and God bless you.

[@BostonBanshee]

This was so fn amazing seeing Brian on a 2 smoker again gave me chills he needs another one in the stable just because !

[@TommyToboggan611]

its amazing to see brian on the 250f too tbh guys broke everything he is a legend

[@tjlash66]

I just got my first bike , im 54 years old and retired in Florida . 2 races with 1 podium finish and an entirely new perspective on life !

[@vyzegpump7471]

my first bike ever was a 2004 yamaha yz250 2 stroke. i got it when i was 13. that thing was awesome

[@EarthSurferUSA]

I say it is bad to get a race bike for a first bike. How good did you get, and how many bones did you break. If you rode every day like we did as kids, you got hurt more than we did, I promise.

[@82tatersalad]

Hey General, I’ve watched a crap ton of your videos (all good)… this may be the best video you ever posted! Keep on keeping on. You’re a great dude and a legend of the sport!

[@miniwolverine6227]

The whole schpeall around the 2Stroke to 4Stroke switch in pro racing was done to get us ready for electrics (😂), and to get us into a “green new blah blah blah!” so that they can further tighten the reigns on us into oblivion! I know you know what’s up Brian from your previous Love America vids, and I know you’re prepared person. Crap is CRAZY Dog!! 👍🏻 🇺🇸III🇺🇸

[@fieldy-8008]

You're not wrong about the electric part

[@ChrisGuthrie]

Something that would be hella sick, if Brian and Haiden could recreate the motocrossed scene where the kid blows out the corner then the dad teaches him proper and the kid rails the berm

[@southlandmotorsport7632]

Man, y’all have been making some great content. I just got back into riding this past February after a 5 year break and I have missed it. The faith base is everything in this world but like Brian said having a Moro outlet is a Great way to get away from the stress and the negative world out there. Great message in this one. Jesus is the way.

[@holeshot406]

Goon riding again….LOVED IT. Cracked me up, reminded me of my wife and I in tears laughing watching training day. Great stuff. Happy to see you enjoying life.

[@CaddyJim]

These are the only *250* races *Deegan* raced I could find *13th* San Jose *250SX 1995* *20th* Cleveland *250SX 1995* *18th* Pontiac *250SX 1995* *29th* Daytona *250SX 1995* (The 29th at Daytona keep in mind 40 Riders lined up like an outdoor)

[@robbieanderson649]

Now you’re qualifying thru haiden. Everyone can see it Brian. You’re living your dream thru Haiden. 💯

[@AJBAF]

That outro was deep! Love the words bro. I just got back into riding myself, I purchased a 2022 yfz450r se. It was my dream quad when I was younger, but I was too broke to afford it. Now that I'm older and can afford it, I bought it. I already went trail riding with a couple of my friends that had ktm 300s and that smile/outlet factor is no joke, it's been so long that I almost forgot how fun it was and kind of got mad at myself for not doing it sooner haha. 3hrs of riding and I was sore as heck it didn't matter that I'm still fit haha beers after fixed that. Anyway, great video and thanks for the insight. I'm looking to get a starter dirt bike now, its looking like a 250 four stroke may be the size.

[@mortonsway5650]

You are awesome roll model to your family & others! I’m 50 & just started riding again! God is good! Awesome family!

[@BOOSTDTV]

Great video. Brians attitude is so great. I love the shock breakdown and tips.

[@natemason4333]

[@chadmitchell2789]

Every time I've met you, you've been a cool dude. I named my daughter after you and we've got lots of pictures from the times we have gone to see you when you raced of road trucks in Arizona.

[@michaelcrane85]

I love two strokes in the woods. They run cooler and if theyre tuned right you have plenty of lowend grunt and with a flywheel weight you can lug all day without flaming out like a 4 stroke. Just depends on your riding style and preference! Great word at the end!

[@Deegan38]

Totally agree! Different bikes do different things sometimes!

[@michaelcrane85]

@deegan38 Different strokes for different folks, amirite? Haha

[@terryperrott8567]

Back in the day , I started out on a Yamaha 100, my dad repositioned the rear shock mounts to give it a softer ride.Thats what I learned on to ride trails, a 2 stroke. Rode that for quite some time then got a Honda XR200R, had the stop muffler replaced with a supertrap & changed the rear sprocket. The reason to change the muffler was to get rid of the back pressure when you would let up off the throttle, the Supertrap you could add or remove discs to adjust the back pressure. Good old Thumper a 4 stroke, I loved my XR200R. Why ?, Well come up to rough nasty parts ,drop a gear or so slide back little bit,keep your feet in the foot pages and pick your way through. Behind me I could hear some of my friends on their snappy 2 strokes, get up to rough spots & they be fanny there clutch.

[@user-bs5kv2tk2u]

[@lowbuckgarage1]

Wow dude, been watching you for decades. Never knew what to think of you, pushing the freestyle thing on us, pushing Haiden so hard. But now, those last 2 minutes in the vid, revealing the real you. Wow, you’ve gained a whole new fan, for both you and Haiden. Respect. ✝️
