Such a fun video. Dallas, usually a man of few words, not today 😀

[@dirtniron]

haha, exactly! Dallas will speak more than myself pretty soon ;) glad you enjoyed it Aaron!

[@MsCas3]

Lol so much blast!! Haha still love it! That was a great vid, really liked the ride vid then sit down and comparison between the two. Would really like to see your yz250 build done this way comparing it to the yz250X side by side and on the trails. Thanks Rado

[@dirtniron]

Glad you enjoyed it! I will try to do that once we are done with my build. thanks!

Great video and really appreciate the comparison, these are the bikes Ive been waiting to see in a head to head !! Thanks !!

[@dirtniron]

Cool, glad you like it Milo!

[@BigDaveTALKS]

Dang Rado, those last 2 laps looked pretty good as far as I’m concerned. But those landings though, looked butter smooth. From what i am learning, Yamaha has one of the best factory suspension set ups, especially for us guys 200 to 230lbs. Awesome video

[@dirtniron]

thanks Dave, glad you like it! I was on the mission there, lol yes, yamaha stock suspension is amazing, I did not touch anything and its great

[@DirtZen]

Such blast! 😎🤣🚀 Great video and you can tell you guys had a great time. I was impressed with the 125, it rips!!

[@NirHason]

"NOT YET!" HAHA! I loved this video!! One of your best IMO!! 125 actually make you faster :P You must have more videos showing battling others, it really kept me watching and having some adrenaline flow :P The voice-over is really great and that way you can concentrate on more when riding the track and not thinking about what you should say. Keep it up! How is the arm pump on the 125 when trying to ride it hard? PS - Please send me this bike :P

[@dirtniron]

thanks Nir, glad you like it! I had a lot of fun filming this video, happy to hear that you had fun watching it! ;)

[@zardportugal]

What a fun video. You went very well with the little 125, Rado. At the end you smashed the throttle before the exit, allready in the spot of the rpm´s range and trying also to begin the bends with the engine in charge. As you said it´s all about momentum. Waiting for more videos. Cheers.

[@dirtniron]

thanks brother, glad you enjoyed it. Yea, its all about momentum and being on the gas, I am learning a lot of new stuff on 125. Feels great once I was able to hit couple turns little faster ;)

[@alcopower5710]

Looks like you guys had a blast. Fun video to watch

[@dirtniron]

[@MaxwellBenson80]

Sick video! I enjoy watching these types of riding sessions with a lot of back and forth passing. That 125 looks wicked nimble! I bought my first 2 stroke last season (yz250) and it is ridiculous. I am looking into getting a yz125 for my son who is rapidly outgrowing his 80cc. Thanks for the great content and comparisons!!

[@dirtniron]

thanks Brad! I see parapros stickers on many bikes there ;)

[@tomnekuda3818]

Rado, if you get good on a 125 two stroke it'll be like you died and went to Heaven.....they weigh nothing and will not tire you out and flick around like you have a bicycle between your legs. With the new bikes and their new-found bottom end and rev potential.....all you've got to do is act like a tap-dancer on the shifter, be willing to rev it until only dogs can hear it, and learn the meaning of momentum.....AND, you're all set. It's like having a vacation especially right after getting off the big bore bikes. Have fun, you lucky dog! Riding a 125 will make you a better rider on anything else you get on.

[@dirtniron]

haha, thanks Tom! always appreciate your advice sir! ;)

[@chrishansen8026]

I got on a 125 the other day. Never been on one before. I’ve been riding an RMZ450 for a while which is 60 pounds heavier. The feeling and weight is absolutely insane

[@LuciusKyrus]

Awesome ride. Love the sound of the 2 stroke.

[@dirtniron]

Me too! thanks Lucius

[@gmx0413]

Those smoove landings tho🥵

[@dadthelad]

Thanks for the vid. I got back into bikes recently since my son just got a YZ65. I used to throw my DT200R around the local enduro tracks back in the day. I've been having a few laps on my mate's YZ250F, and find it fun, but heavy and unwieldy, so really want to try a YZ125. These YZ125X's look perfect! My mates are all saying stick to 4-stroke, as we are all too old for 2-stroke (we are all over 40), but gotta try it for myself first. Every comparison vid of YZ125 vs either YZ250f or SX125 has ALL the commentators saying the YZ125 is more fun. They'd choose the others for racing, but the YZ125 for fun. That's what I'm looking for!

[@dirtniron]

Hey Keith, great way to come back to riding. you should get matching bikes with your son ;) I am sure yz125 will make you happy! I am almost 40 too and dont feel old for 2 strokes at all. Have fun guys!

[@dadthelad]

@@dirtniron Thanks mate, I will def find a YZ125 to go for a test ride on before I choose, but hoping I like the 125 more than the 250!

[@coltonowens2742]

250's and 450's might be faster, but whoever said a 125 is slow is full of it. You guys were flyin, that was awesome!

[@aTcMDaMo]

if you used stock suspension what sort of clicker settings were you using on the 250fx? i find my 2017 really soft for around 190pound

[@dirtniron]

yes it is stock suspension, I did not touch it actually.. this is how I got the bike.. it felt good on vet track. try to play with it, these are one of the best forks, I am sure you can dialed it on for 190lbs track riding.

[@itsdirby.4457]

I love my TTR-230 to death, but those newer bikes make my heart ache. Wish I had the cash for something bigger.

[@bradl45]

Fun, Fun, Fun, Racing around with a friend with NICE bikes. I haven't had a 125 smoker for MANY years, but they are so fun, now I'm lazy with a Husky 501 or 450 xc-f, shift higher and lug it around, lol. If yammy had a 125x with a with trigger shifters on the bars, I would so buy it and giggle til my ribs hurt, yz250fx footage, always nice, yamaha hit that one out of the park. Thanks for sharing the footage, such a nice track too.

[@dirtniron]

thanks Brad, glad you enjoyed it! yea, they are both great bikes, 250fx with all the upgrades is really good this year

[@landontrombley248]

Two stroke for life baby!!! Four strokes are cool ig too 😂

[@Sn0w1981]

That was great! I wonder what the difference would be if you guy's rode 125x vs 125 and 250fx vs 250f. Maybe call Yamaha for two more bikes :D

[@dirtniron]

haha, I wish its that easy ;)

[@Jim-eb3ey]

I think the bike with 2 wheels and makes you smile the most is the best bike besides your color preference! 2 stroke heaven but in the mud 4 stroke heaven! 2wheels rules no matter what!!!!!!

[@hexhead5732]

125 X seem to be a very good and fast bike I never drove a two stroke before only 4 stroke my eyes have been on 250 FX for the kind of riding I do it seem you can’t go wrong with either bike there both awesome good video

[@dirtniron]

They are! ;)

[@Papi1960R]

The true question should be between the YZ250FX and the YZ250X, which one is slower? In Central America we got a lot of parts bin bikes. When manufacturers change models and tooling they have to get rid of excess parts. Between ITs, WRs, DTs and YZs Yamaha made a lot of bikes never seen in the United States. My 2 best bikes I ever owned were YZ200s a 88 and a 90. Still waiting on my electric start, TPI, and counter-balanced YZ200X. At $6500 they'd sell 100,000 just in the US.

[@dirtniron]

250x should be faster.. interesting info about Central America bikes, thanks for sharing! I would get one in a heartbeat!

[@nicholasmorris617]

Do you have the STIC in the yz125 in this video?

[@spuds1366]

I have a 2017 250fx I basically got it brand new from a friend of my dad who never rode it and I already have close to 60 hours on it and I’m wondering if it’s a good bike to ride track lots on it

[@dirtniron]

I think its a good bike for a track, specially vet track. I can clear everything on it no problem, suspension handles good. Its very similar to 250f

[@craigsteinman9807]

Looks like kinda a vet track? How was the suspension? I have the 250x and am a novice Rider and weigh 205lbs I find my suspension woefully soft

[@dirtniron]

yes, this is vet track at Cahuilla Creek MX. suspension on 125x felt decent, hitting all the big jumps there, cant complain.. and I am around 203lbs now..

[@craigsteinman9807]

..that's such a cool vet track.and you were ripping it pretty good..my bike feels like a water bed or like marshmallows on long rollers and whoops that are slopping and more than a bike length apart ...seems it's always down in sroke without rebounding quick enuff to give me lift..or my nose always dives in regular sharp edges woops is why I say it's to soft.. .

[@dr.x4050]

@@dirtniron There was not much talk about suspension. If adjusted correctly, did the 125x and 250fx suspensions have very similar or equivalent firmness or bottoming resistance?

The 125,250,450 FX’s and X’s are phenomenal bikes. They are amazing both on track and trails. Yamaha hit it way out of the park with these bikes. Especially the four strokes where you can tune the engine with your phone to be more snappy or smooth.

[@dirtniron]

[@jimwil6972]

Build the wall 👍

[@dasboot9471]

If you’re not riding a two stroke to it’s potential, you’re not riding it at all, you have to let it scream, it’s about 80 percent rider skill no matter what…I think it’s funny everybody thinks they need a 1000cc machine but their skills can’t max out an 80cc bike I run with a bunch of cavemen on 450s and I pretty much smoke them all on my 125

[@bronsondempsey7812]

Why do you shift like that bro just let off the gas in between shifts

[@jetdr]

If he rode the 2 stroke correctly, inside of the turns. you wouldn't be able to hang. 2 strokes are fast when turned tight, steer with the rear.

[@maxtax5442]

When you exit from the inside turn give it a full gas you will be faster and you will have a faster time lap on the 125 2 stoke bc l have also a 125 2stroke
