[@DerekHallman]

Thank you so much for watching man I appreciate you!

[@mxoudi]

Damn that thing corners SOO good

[@DerekHallman]

Deegan better watch out 😂

[@oman669J]

Can definitely tell you were comfortable on her. Awesome riding and video as always. Looking forward to the next one 😂

[@DerekHallman]

Thanks buddy let's ride again soon!

[@Treenooo]

[@Treenooo]

[@LedgeyVeggie]

[@chrisvozza6530]

That 25 yz is a beast. Beautiful machine . Congrats. Dam it sounds good also!

[@DerekHallman]

[@ashtincrater7389]

looking to get one soon my man this vid is just convincing me more!!.

[@DerekHallman]

Happy to provide motivation :) got more on the way! Go get that yami 😁

[@Moto_Mills]

Seat and Suspension. Noted. ❤

[@UtamaBoys]

So true

[@DerekHallman]

New seat fo sho. Suspension felt way better by end of day.

[@UtamaBoys]

Same here

[@decre4se]

Feels illegal to be this early

[@DerekHallman]

It is. I have a warrant for your arrest 🚔

[@brandonfoley8070]

Love my 24 250. These new bikes do corner very very well thats the first thing I noticed

[@LickyMyNippy]

These videos fill the void for me. My bike keeps finding little things to keep me off.

[@DerekHallman]

Glad I can help, but fix it up and get rippin !

[@pags1981]

Probably the best all-round bike on the market.

[@pitbikecrazy125]

Congrats Derek!!!! Rippin!! 🤙🏻

[@DerekHallman]

thank you sir!

[@equi]

Wait, you are in VA. Me too - near Fredericksburg. I was thinking about getting a dirt bike again - been 20 years. Except im like man.. do i need to drive 4 hours to ride it still. Now I have to watch your vids to get some ideas of where to ride.

[@FerdyMX84]

This is your bike! 👍👍👍

[@WendyClarksonon]

Really enjoyed it! Looking forward to more videos! 💖😘

[@Monstakawi]

You said you need to take it to more tracks. I wanted to suggest Wicomico Motorsports Park in Maryland. It’s my local track and it has come a long way under new ownership track is getter better all the time. It’s fun and has challenge to when ruts get formed. Congrats on new bike btw thats a sweet machine.

[@DerekHallman]

Thanks for the suggestion I'll definitely come ride Wicomico soon!

[@Emtb-q6p]

i got a 2025 to and i FUCKING LOVE IT. its so much better then my trail bike, it feels good on a supercross track to, but I'm a bigger(NOT FAT) rider.

[@funnyshiznit100]

It’s better than Kawasaki?

[@kapiashon]

BANGERRR!!!! is it kick start?

[@DerekHallman]

It's electric start

[@kapiashon]

@@DerekHallman I'm thinking about saving and getting one when I turn 16 and start working my birthday 01/19, does the f after 250 means it's 4 stroke meaning that I don't have to mix oil when fueling it?

[@UtamaBoys]

Beautiful sound😩

[@DerekHallman]

She barks 😁

[@BrayFN1]

I want one for Christmas I hope I get one

[@papi24x]

amazing bike

[@nathanmcbrayer6755]

Nice dirt bike you put a exhaust on it 👍

[@CraigSteinman-zt3vu]

That's one of coolest places ever to ride..so very cool..yes the yz 250f has been king for a long time ..2025 is no different..I love me a Honda..but the yz is too much right now

[@funnyshiznit100]

I’m trying to decide between a Honda , Kawasaki, or Yamaha?

[@vic.d2__]

always love the yams

[@yodavizion]

Watching now bud

[@DerekHallman]

Thanks for watching!

[@yodavizion]

@ yeah bitter sweet cause I got the 22 250f and love seeing the content but happy for you 😫😭🤣🦾🫡🇺🇸😁

[@DerekHallman]

@@yodavizion that 22 model is damn good dude! Hopefully you can still enjoy the 25 content 😁

[@yodavizion]

@ post notis on bro 🦾😎

[@ShiftGearsMoto]

Congrats on the freshie! Does the frame have a “break in” like the KTMs? I rode a 24 250f a few months back and it’s crazy loud compared to my ktm with that airbox up front. The thinner shrouds feel way better than the previous gen.

[@DerekHallman]

Thanks dude. I'm sure it has somewhat of a break in period on both the frame and suspension but I don't know for certain. These yamis are definitely LOUD I can barely hear my own thoughts while riding 😆

[@luder3311]

I have a 24 yz250f, stock exhaust chokes it on high revs, recommend you to replace to full yoshi or fmf and install a twin air intake filter, it will feel much better

[@DerekHallman]

Ok thanks I'll give that a try

[@wroomfn2414]

Nice video! Congratulations on getting a new bike, BLU CRU FAMILY)) but, simple advice, i bet you've heard it a lot, you need to work on your technique, just for safety reasons, not for speed

[@DerekHallman]

Thanks for watching!

[@mikeking7388]

Just sold my 23 250fx for a 25 250x I loved the 4 stroke was a short and sweet time with it but I just didn’t feel the fun factor with it. Was almost too easy to ride, If I could have a second bike it would be a 250f

[@boxinggloves87]

Hey man I was just wondering when you gonna get this newer model. 😈 How would you rate this bike riding position for someone height like 6.1??? Cannot wait to try this thing it sound the best. 🇬🇧😎

[@DerekHallman]

I am 6'3 and I like the rider triangle. I will try lowering the pegs and a taller seat though. That always makes it more comfortable 😁

[@JimG1964]

Great video! How does it feel compared to ktm250sxf?

[@DerekHallman]

Thanks! I think it feels faster than the KTM except the very high rpm. Yami suspension is better in my opinion and it corners amazing.

[@Countryboywoop]

Nicccceeeee bro I’m deciding if i want to get a triumph or crf 250. I sold the 125 may get a yz 250 not sure yet

[@DerekHallman]

Choices choices.... 2 or 4 stroke? New triumphs look pretty sweet 👀

[@Countryboywoop]

@ 4stroke

[@Thomas-pt2bt]

hey derek, I have a question, in the future i want to get a brand newish bike. Currently I have a wr400f and I like it, but I really like these new 250s, Would you say for a new track rider but not new at riding straight on flat ground, should I get a ktm 350? which is about the same power as my wr400, or would I still enjoy and most likely not outgrow the 250?

[@mxslick50]

Nothing like a brand new bike to put the preload in your monoshock.

[@DerekHallman]

🤣

[@mxslick50]

@@DerekHallman LOL as LeBay says in the movie (and book) "Christine" (when referring to a new car, in this case, bike) (the smell of a new car/bike)"is the finest smell in the world..except for 😺"

[@ottokirk2325]

Yup, '22 gave me less confidence in corners. It likes to push or tuck in a turn down. I fixed every issue with a 300SX. YAT

[@DerekHallman]

yessss the '22 was constantly pushing and tucking. This bike is MUCH better in corners. Hope you're enjoying that 300SX bro!

[@ottokirk2325]

@DerekHallman Thanks, but 60 amazing hrs later and the fancy tech has her parked. I'm back to ripping my 200SX w/YZ front end. BTW, me and Ken go back a few years from helping him tune his 125. Hey, maybe test his new YZ with the HITLIS power valve mod kit. The company has a rock solid YZ guru running it. Cody Webb using it after moving to Yamaha. Continued success brahda.

[@thehunter_tx3951]

yeah it’s gonna take a little bit to wear in and loosen up the frame and suspension

[@DerekHallman]

It felt better by end of the day but I'm sure it will just get better the more I ride

[@BigA...]

Hey Derek, I have been riding a ktm 85 2 stroke for a few years now and I feel ready to move up. I’m thinking a 250 4 stroke, what would you recommend?

[@LedgeyVeggie]

Not gonna lie I will miss the 2022 yz😂

[@tobywonkinoby8916]

How do you compare this motor to the ktm 250 four stroke motor?

[@OdysseyOffroad]

Just bought a 2025 WR 250F(on the channel) and I have the same complaint about the seat it's hard and round kills my ass lol.

[@DerekHallman]

New seat on order asap haha

[@RVENZ]

Let’s goooooooooo!!

[@DerekHallman]

😁🤘🏻

[@TWITCH772]

what gear are you in around this track? im coming from a 2 stroke seems like a 4 stroke revs out a bit further in 2nd maybe? or is it 3rd

[@DerekHallman]

I'm in 3rd and 4th mostly on this track but I use second for the tight corners.

[@Stinkz55]

Serious question I really want one of these Yz 250f and I’m starting to get fast on a dirt bike do u think it would be a good bike for the trail

[@DerekHallman]

Yes it's good on trails 😁

[@grahamhenry3436]

I heard the newer 24s have smoother power than the older models is that true or do they still pull really hard down low

[@DerekHallman]

Yeah it is a little bit smoother down low but still has that strong mid range pull

[@Matthew_Bowersox]

man I missed out on a great day!

[@DerekHallman]

We gotta ride soon bro !

[@Matthew_Bowersox]

@@DerekHallman yessir!! happy holidays till then!!

[@KaulierFuller]

How does it feel compared to the older generation like the 22

[@DerekHallman]

That's what I talked about in the video 😁

[@44sammy4]

Epic

[@hcathbreakern]

How tall are you sir ? Did you lower the suspention ?

[@DerekHallman]

I am 6 feet 3 inches tall, no need to lower the bike 😁

[@hcathbreakern]

@@DerekHallman thats why i was wondering if you have lowered the suspension hahah 😁

[@amikhael5135]

how the chassis compare to your KX ?

[@DerekHallman]

I think it feels way better than my KX all-around. Everyone prefers different things, but for me the YZ has a better engine, suspension, rider triangle, and now chassis. My 21 KX250 had a better chassis than my 22 YZ250F, but this new 25 feels better for sure.

[@aristo957]

Хочется как либо участвовать в профессиональном эндуро,но у меня Альфа 110.На таком особо нигде не поучаствуешь

[@MilesG6010]

What did you do with the 22?

[@DerekHallman]

Sold the 2022 YZ, but I still have the Kawi and KTM

[@MilesG6010]

You gonna keep riding 2 strokes?

[@funnyshiznit100]

Should I get this or the kx?

[@stratathrillz]

The YZ

[@thatguyrides7072]

Please get the yz!

[@funnyshiznit100]

@thatguyrides7072 why you say that? lol

[@thatguyrides7072]

@@funnyshiznit100 No special reason, I just think that it is an amazing bike and better looking than the kawi

[@davidromo46]

My bike took 6-8 hours for the suspension to break in.
