Yamaha YZ 250 20052005 Yamaha YZ 250 specifications, pictures, reviews and rating |
| Yamaha's profilation of this bike |
| Bred For Battle. We built the first production YZ250 in 1975. It commenced kicking tail immediately and promptly set the standard by which competition bikes were measured. Even after all the victories and championships since then, including more AMA Supercross wins this season than anybody else (per Chad Reed), our beloved Supercross contender continues its relentless march toward perfection. |
