Last of a disappearing breed? Not at Yamaha! Choice is a good thing and the more choices the better. Perhaps a 4-stroke MX bike is not the machine for you so we have taken some of the best features of our 4-stroke YZ line and added them to the YZ250, so it maintains its competitive edge.

For 2009, the Yamaha YZ250 gets a new seat cover, a lighter front brake hose clamp and a new anodized drive chain.

We love the smell of premix in the morning. Our legendary two-stoke is more potent than ever with a light aluminum frame housing a patented YPVS Power valve-equipped engine that delivers great power-to-weight ratio. The 2009 Yamaha YZ250 is ready to race out of the crate complete with ProTaper aluminum handlebar, titanium footpegs gripper seat and Excel rims.
