Let’s all take a moment to appreciate the fact that Yamaha is keeping the Japanese 2 strokes alive.

[@triple6758]

Props to Yamaha for continuing to offer two stroke adult bikes! My buddy had a 98 back in the day that ran like a stabbed rat.

[@harrybyrnethefifth744]

That bike not only looks amazing but sounds amazing.

The yz is arguably the epitome of Japanese 250s.

[@jameswhiteman413]

Holy smoke , I got a 97 yz , they sound so cool, I’m getting some gold rims now, suit it good.

[@breddary]

Good old days of steel frames ♥️

[@brucemackie6412]

I've had a few overs the years. Riding a 2012. Amazing how this bike has kicked ass for almost 30 years. Thank you McGrath.

I like the shrouds on this more than the new models! Fashion is funny

Yamaha the only one of the big four who hasn't had a vasectomy.

[@Mikehoncho191]

2 stroke 250cc bikes are just so cool, 500s and amazing but you need to be McGrath or Sr. To pilot those missiles😂 250 can send the common man into the stratosphere with only a flick of the wrist

One day i hope i can afford to pop over and see this place and meet you guys what a life and family you have god bless from Coventry England 👊

Talked to the professor this afternoon. Missed his call, was on my way to have some lunch riding my DRZ. Y'all are awesome, Billy is super professional. Very smart dude. Come out west guys!

[@hankschrader149]

Hard to believe that's a 23 year old bike! IMO the dip in the seat is one of the few items that differ drastically from new 4 chokes. Keep the 2 strokes coming Yamaha!

[@200mmonster4]

I think I need this bike in my life

[@lorimiller5348]

I had a 2003 yz250, and I put a big decal on the swingarm that said "SUICIDE MACHINE"!! 😍

[@johnnycash2238]

I’ve owned around 20 yz’s. Nothing compares to the 98’s. My 98 yz125 is the fastest 125 I’ve ever ridden.

[@scottp1402]

YZ 250. My second favorite bike awesome - jumps like a boss. (First favorite kdx200 - best trail bike ever)

[@mikeschlup5279]

Better add another 50 lbs to the grass seed order....!

[@chapsteronetime2000]

Love it baby! Turning thru them gears, no thatching or plugging needed in that turf! Ripper

[@toddmills2407]
