  • Don't sit down as much only in turns and dont be scared to pull back on the throttle

  • yz250 baby way to go.

  • Dude do you ride bmx a lot or something? lol you look just like how i looked when i moved from bmx to motocross. the landings your still in no suspension mode haha. and the takeoff you pop like how you would on a bicycle

  • @poserproductions1

    I used to race BMX for 4 years but had the need to go faster and jump higher,so now its MX!!!

  • @bmx418 I used to do regular just freestyle bmx until i could afford a dirtbike and i had the exact same style as you lol. and i wanted to go faster and jump higher too. In my first race i was in the back of the pack (13th out of 20) and i was hitting all the big jumps that most other kids in my class wouldnt hit haha

  • honda

  • where do you ride at

  • honda was better

  • NEED TO PUT THE ELBOWS UP!!

  • Four strokes feel too tame and aren't that exciting to me, the only upside to that is it makes them easier to control which helps in racing. Sure a two stroke might not help you win races but you'll have way more fun out there even if you come last.

  • crf is better

  • hey im thinking about getting a crf250r but rethinking about it because you always have to check the values. is the crf250r very reliable or do you always have to do something to the bike? i currently ride a rm125 2003 and want more power but i dont want to spend $ all the time ! need advice please !

  • @grandycandypk 250 four strokes and 125s have about the same power you just gotta know how to ride a 2 stroke and i wouldnt recommend anyone buy a crf250r because the valves are shit and go out all the time honda makes a horrible 250

  • @bmxrider130 2004 crf250 first year they made the four stroke 250 and havent had a single problem with it. when we heard about the valve problem I still put a huge amount of ride/race time on my bike with the origional valves on it without any problems. Then we put stainless steel valves in it and still havent had any problems with it. loves eating up them blue bikes still.

  • @bhard22151 SS valves are the way to go man, my 04 rm-z 250 has them, 30 hours later still no shimming required. I almost bought a honda 250 from 04 and i heard of the valves and that scared me away, i'm glad that it was just a bunch of people crying about shitty maintenance, honda's 09 250x is a goddamn woods slayer, would love to ride one of their 250r's on the track where it respectively belongs.

  • @grandycandypk if your looking for more power get a 250 2 stroke :)

  • wats so cool about 40 thru 50?

  • I think you need to make the suspension a lil bit softer on the Crf250r. It looked like you were landing really hard!

  • i dont mean to put you in your place of riding because your probably better than me cause it looks like you got potential but move your body around and you will get better resultes on your turns and lap times

  • keep ur elbows up, like big james always says

    "like yur rowin' a boat"

  • The Honda was better for me!

  • what do you like more?

  • i dont agree about 4 strokes being better. i race B class and rode a 2010 yz 250f all season last year. Now i just got a 2011 Yz 250 and its legal in 250f classs and it just handles so much better. on my 250f i had to send the suspension to pro action. im not doing anything with the new two stroke. its nasty

  • The Crf 250 are better than the yz ^^;)

  • not tryin to diss but stick ur elbows up.. itll help turning

  • is 5'8" to tall for the honda?

  • @YZ125ups

    5'8 ? any 250 can handle your size , i think it could actually be too big for you ..

    go down to the local dealer and sit on the bike , if its a nice fit then get it ..

  • @BIGGESTxxEMINEMxxFAN hey im getting a new bike this weekend and im stuck between a CRF250R or a KX250F. which one should i get? im 6' and about 140 pounds

  • @XxGREEN11xX

    Too be honest i carnt really tell you which is better because i havn't ridden a kx250f , where i live people dont ride kawi's its all yamaha , honda and suzuki .. but i can say the crf250 is a really nice bike and good power on it , im 6'6 and 190 pounds by the way .. but i have seen people around your size and weight on crf250's and seem allright .. i would recommend you go sit on both the bikes and see which is more comftable for you .. good luck :)

  • @XxGREEN11xX Get the Kx dude. Way more mellow power. I rode a crf in 08 season but switched half way through. liked the Kx better. If you have the money get the 2011 yz 250 2 stroke. I just got one and I cant even explain how awesome it is

  • @XxGREEN11xX Crf250r has more power.

  • ur not even on the throttle on the yz. thats why everybody likes these 4 strokes because they have bottom end and a lot of these riders cant even handle a 2 smoke. (no offense) but if you know how to ride a 2 stroke you can be a lot faster on them.

  • yz is the best

  • how tall were you when riding the 250 ? jw

  • @RideThe518

    I was about 5' 5" tall

  • @bmx418 oh awesome bc i wanna get a 250 and dont know if itll be hard to handle, im 5'8'' so thanks, how was the handling btw hard?

  • @bmx418 im 5'11 and i had a 80 4 stroke my parents are cheap

  • 250r handled wayy better

  • personally i liked the yz 250 better but the crf is pretty BA too

  • Is that a stock pipe on the CRF250??

  • sand is so shity to ride in you get like no speed need the hard dirt

  • how old r u'

  • nice riding, nice track

  • These bikes are amazing idk which one ide prefer. Sure the yz is faster but the cr is newer and looks so hot.

  • nice ur ight

  • what did you think is faster? loll you looked kind of scared on the yz250 :P ..i dont blame you

  • @matttyv

    The YZ250 is faster a little scared no, just concerned that the bike was set up for a 220LB rider. The landings were a little harsh.

  • @bmx418 oh yeah tru so then the suspension would be hard. ...isnt a 125 pretty much the same speed as the 250f or R ?

    or are the 125 2 strokes faster on the track ?

  • 2 stroke all the way!!!

  • Im 42 and when i was younger, we only had 2 strokes. I ride a 450 now because i like the low down torque. 2 strokes require a bit more skill to ride them. 2 strokes are more powerful per CC but its a different less manageable power.

  • yeh and im 2 years old and 3'0" tall and i ride a cr 500....

  • what year is that bike?

  • @1whoridesDirtbikes

    The yz is a 2005 and the crf is 2008

  • im only 5'8 and a 150lbs and i ride a cr125 but ive riddin prolly every bike made except for the ktms...just sayin that height or weight is not a factor to me i can rip a cr250 or a cr500 i cant corner as fast as i can with my 125 but i can rip em

  • i think the crf was better for you the yz , you gotta keep pinned into the jumps 3rd or 4th gear hit power band

  • Buying a bike now is based on preference. None it truly BETTER than the other. It depends on the other. Don't listen to others, get what bike you love, practice, and you will own.

  • crf easy but i gotta admit that if that yz250 was a yz250f it would be a lot better than the crf

  • @thane194 the yz250 is faster than than the crf250 and the yz250f he didnt ride it like a 2 stroke

  • i am 5 foot 3 how much more do i need to grow before i can touch the ground on this beast

  • @broncosrock678 Like another 8 inches, no lie.

  • Im 15 and 135lbs. and 5'11, should I get a Crf250r? It will be my first bike, but on the weekends I always ride my friends Cr250

  • Im 15 and 135 lbs. should I get a Crf250r?

  • @tyamaha272

    Only u know what u can handle

  • @tyamaha272 if you have ridin before its definatly a good bike for you but if its your first bike you should probably get a crf250x

  • @tyamaha272 im 15 and 65 kgs an i think thats around 135ibs and im getting a yz250

  • @tyamaha272 im 14 and 130pnds and i ride/ race a 08 crf250r but i have been riding all my life

    

  • @tyamaha272 test ride it but im 12 and 140 and i can handle my yz 250 and my 450

  • @tyamaha272 Get a YZ250

  • @ChrisMX3417 For sure?

  • @tyamaha272 Yes its twice more powerful than the 250 4 stroke. Come on my 125cc 2 stroke races with the 250 4 strokes

  • @tyamaha272 yea im 14 6'2" 140 lbs and i ride my friends crf250r just fine just get used to it before you start givin it alot of gas.

  • @tyamaha272 if i were you i would just try one and see how you like it because i weigh 150 and i can ride a 250 but i couldn't really have fun with it, thats why i like my 150RB cuz it has good power and i can really ride it hard. But thats just my opinion.

  • @tyamaha272 you'd be fine on it. not much different from a 125 2t

  • I am 5 11 and i never owned a bike

    i ride quads now i am i want a bike would this be good like i know i can controll it i drive a yfz450r quad

  • I love it, you rode the YZ like a 4 stroke, ha its all good dude, i would of done the same

  • I raced a 2007 crf250r for 2 years and i switched to a yz250. its way smoother and less expensive to take care of. to be good on a 2-stroke u have to be a "fast" guy because of havin to keep the rpm's up

  • the suspension on the yz looks like it's set better for u.

  • ok so i am trying to decide between getting a cr250 and a crf250r. i want to start racing i am 16 and have been riding am rm125 for close to 2 years but only one summer on a track. i have adapted very well to the track though and have fallen in love with the sport and it is all i can think about and is all i want to do. please help if you have any training tips riding tips or any tips on a good bike to start out with on a 250 thank you. good riding btw!!!!

  • @squantotheboywonder I prefer the crf250r. But I would also like a cr250. You need to ride them both to see what is best for you. Both have ups and downs but will get the job done in racing. Good Luck!

  • @FMXPRO199 ok thank you

  • coming out of the corners all the yz does is spin.

  • i am 14.5 and i am selling my crf150f and really want a crf250r i am 5 foot 11 inches what you think and i also want to go on the sand with it with a paddle tire

  • u looked better on the crf its probly cuz its urs and im sure ur dad looks beter on the yz cuz its his thay r all reely good bikes

  • ok dude heres wats up... thts an awesome crf, and i lik the way u ride it, but on a 2 stroke u gotta ride the higher rpms cuz thts where it starts to actually perform

  • both bikes were nice but forever beat the yz250 ass u neeed rev and hit the turns faster

  • im 14 and i am about 5'6 or 5'7 and i have a 2008 crf150f and i fit it fine but im either just gonna get racing shocks for my current 1 or go out and get like an 2006 crf150r but i keep looking at these videos of the crf250r and theres some bad shit so i dont no what im going to do,so any suggestions because i really want to start racing at this place down the road from my house,ampMX but yeah please message back because all these other assholes wont reply and when they do.............but thanks

  • @DrumlineLegion I am 14 too and i have a crf150r big wheel and im bout 5'7 and everyone says i look like a goon on it and im average weight too, i also haev a crf250r and i like it way better and have been riding that for a while now and ive jsut started racing too so i like hte 250 way better for my size and height and jumps are better too because it has more suspention also

  • the crf looks like it does better on the track than the yz. just sayin. but nice job ridin both(:

  • they made yz125/250s for 2011. I'm so glad they're still makin em.

  • where is this place at? is it in MI?

  • @swimmermike1994

    This was a private track in Indiantown Florida, it has beed closed.

  • you gotta get more into the 2 stroke ring its neck.

  • Lol i rode a yz250 for the first time on the road check it out :p , But im not any good at jumps nothing like this!

  • Comment removed

  • i was diciding between getting an 09 250f or a 125 2 stroke im 5"6 would i be able to ride this size of a bike

  • @MegaHitman66

    I think i was 5'6" when i got this one, sure the crf250r is a good choice!

  • @bmx418 i just got a 2010 crf250r and im only 5 foot tall

  • @bmx418 hey man im not hatin on the crf but they need to get new valves every 50 hours and they re more costly to maintain. still a good bike tho. im just a fan of the 2 strokes. im 5'10" 130 lbs and im gettin a yz125 over a 250f

  • @MegaHitman66 im 5'7 an i have had my 450r for 3 years

  • @MegaHitman66 depends, have you ridin before?

  • sick 2 stroke...

    2 strokes> 4 strokes all day

  • i was going to get a crf 250r but i always hear about valve trobles and i dont know if i want to now...

  • @DirtRiderProductions

    what u hear is bull , if u take care of the bike u wont have any troubles it the ones who think changing the oil every 10 rides is a good thing, sure u have to get the valves adjusted from time to time but its not like they are going to blow out of the cylinder head!!!!

  • @bmx418 do you think changing the oil every four hours is rediculous, i got a kx100 a whileback and the guy changed it every four hours- how often do you think i should change the oil

  • @accountseller50z

    I change mine every other time i ride at the track. I ride about 6 fifteen minute sessions each time, so i'm changing it about every 3 hours. That may be to much but dirty oil will never be a problem for my bike. It will not hurt the bike!!

  • @bmx418 also im about 5`5 do you think im big enough to handle the bike good, i know i can ride it but i dont know if i can reach the ground on turns.

  • @accountseller50z i change my kx100 oil every 5 hours. if tht helps

  • @accountseller50z every 3 to 4 rides is good i dont even do it that much

  • the crf250 sound and handeld the best but 2 strokes are better you should get a ktm the best i have one

  • I would prefer the yz over the crf cause the 2 strokes have double the power ifyou know how to ride them and they are much easier and cheaper to repair. The four strokes are only popular due to propaganda shit, and that the manufactures make more money per bike, 2 strokes are the way to go

  • u looked way better on the honda bro. try and stay on the gas alittle more,also try and stay in the gears longer,u look like ur shifting alittle to soon. but keep it up dude

  • When you got on the YZ at first you weren't hittin' the jumps too well, it was bugging me, lol. But you got there, the YZ250 > CRF250r definitely.

  • i am thinking about geting a crf 250 is it a good bike and does yours have dule pipes

  • @cole2480hotmailcom

    Yes the 2008 crf250r does have duel pipes

  • @bmx418 and the 07.

  • From my experience (which isn't a hole lot) hondas are a much easier bike to control but yamahas are generally quicker in a straight. It's kinda hard to compare these two bikes but i personally like the yamaha.

  • honda

  • you seemed MUCH more comfortable on the crf but I personally like the two smoker better!

  • that track looks sick i wanna take my cr n rm there wheres it at?

  • hey i am thinking about getting a crf250r and is it worth it

  • did u ever have a 2 stroke 125?

  • my vote is for the yz

  • I have a 2008 crf250r as well bud. They are awsome. any mods on yours?

  • @oneindiz94

    Just stock except wok done on the shocks

  • which one is faster

  • @ 3:13 250yz :)

  • the reason you had same lap times is your hitting the track harder and faster on your crf250 and your slacking a little bit in the turns on the yz250 if you at hit the track as hard on the yz250 you would have been faster

  • @rwcms08 He's just trying out the YZ in this vid, it's probably too much power to handle as well as he could the CRF. I know when I got on my friends CR250, after riding a crappy kx125 for a long time, it was a whole new experience. Extremely hard to handle because you don't know the bike yet.

  • the crf was much better at the handling and power

  • where is that track at plz reply

  • @1madcrf250r

    The track is in Indiantown Florida. It was a private track that has shut down.

  • i have a 2007 yz250f. Nice bike love it but it seems to be too much maintenence. Like to check valves every 20 hours and oil changes every 10 and all that so i might just get a yz250. What do you think of the yz250? Like was it a big step up from the crf250?

  • @JustRide626

    I used to change the oil and trans every 2 rides on the crf250r that was a pain that u have to change 2 sides. The yz250 was easier to maintain and had a lot more power but even so i had the same lap times. The yz wore me out trying to control the power. like the bike always wanted to loop out, the power band was so sudden it would catch me by surprise. The crf had a constant power and was reliable comming out of turns and going over jumps.

  • @bmx418 ya im going to switch to a 2 stroke for sure but i might get a 125 and 250. With what i will hopefully get for my bike i can hopefully get a 125 and 250. My bike has some decent speed but i dont think that the 2 stroke will be to much to handle. Thanks man.

  • @JustRide626 there not too much too handle, you just cant gun it or you will be on your back.

  • you looked ALOT better on the crf250r

  • 250 

  • I thought the yz was handled better, looks go to the crf.

  • your 250

  • im 14 5'10 about 180lb should i get a 125 or a 250 what ever i buy im aam stuck with tho? i do have experiance on 2 strokes and i have rode friends 125s and they dont realy seem all that mean

  • @thaze95

    Go for the 250

  • @thaze95

    well if u wont to build skills get 125 cus u'll build skill quicker or if u wont a bike that can be with u fro longer then get a 250

  • @thaze95 look up chris blose yz125 and when you can ride like that on a 125, then you can say its not all that mean.

  • would u recommend me get this as a first bike?

  • which bike did you think was better????

  • @conrad573

    The CRF250R

  • @bmx418 what year is that bike

    

  • @conrad573 the crfis a 2008 the yz is a 2007

  • the 4 stroke is better for sure there easy to handle and can keep up with a 2 stroke easy you just gotta know how to ride

    and by the looks of it u can nice vid

  • yz250 is awesome and is fast, its all preference tho. i want a 250 2 stroke so bad.. right now at my dad's i ride a 1984 yamaha It 200 2 stroke and at my mom's a 2001 Honda Xr 200r 4 stroke. (2 stroke is faster and more fun)

  • @warboy1psn thats cause the yamaha is a older motocross bike and the honda is a woods bike its like saying that a rm125 is faster then a ttr125 (have them both) of course the rm will kill the ttr

  • @zcdirtbiker94 yea i know, it is basically that way and it doesn't really have a power band just good constant power (so fun)!!

  • @zcdirtbiker94 yea i know, it is basically that way and it doesn't really have a power band just good constant power (so fun)!!

  • put your elbows out more. and stand up more. dont be scared to crack the thrttle nad feather your clutch in the burms... if you get sideways and think your gonna wash out give it more throttle.

    -2 strokes ftw!

  • haha you take the same rut everytime

  • i am probably a little too small for a 250 in power but i dont wanna buy a 125 and move up again? should i jus go with the 250 and learn to handle it???

  • @TechPBpaintball

    I am 5'9 and my weight is 150 lbs and currently ride a yz450f which has more weight than a yz250. At 130 lbs are u strong enough to pick it up off the ground because it will put u there ay some point, the power can be controlled u will get used to it.

  • @bmx418 k thanks

  • @TechPBpaintball i had a little bike before it was an XR80r and i wanted to do the same cause i wanted a 250 and didn't want to get a 125 cause i didn't want to buy an other bike but i got the 125 and its perfect for me and i love it and it has lots of power and its quick and easy to handle anywhere.

  • do u think a 14year old handle a yz250 he already has an 85 and is getting a new bike he has rode lots of 250f

  • @theyz85fmf Go for it , if u rode 250f's then it wont be to bad of a jump in power but watch out for the power band it can snap ur arms off !!! LOL

  • i think the 4 stroke was better on the track but the yamaha had better power.

  • the track is nice. i would love to ride their and try it out. i also have a yz 250.

  • this video is great. nice track and bikes.

  • What's better the 2 or 4 stroke 250? Witch is eaiser on the track?

  • @MrLilpete75 The 250 4 stroke is easier on the track but the 2 stroke has more power and is faster.

  • @MrLilpete75 250f, if you're a beginner. it has more controlled power, unlike a 2 stroke. personally, i prefer the 2 stroke over 4 stroke, but i strongly suggest a 4 stroke for a beginner. with a 2 stroke, you have to be balls out, they're made to be beaten on and to keep pinned the entire time.

  • hey man elbows up!

  • you dont drive dirtbikes you ride them

  • You knew what he meant you knit picking troll.

  • which bike did u like better lol personally i love 2 strokes... i have a 2001 cr 125 now and it rips i love it but ive been riding and racing 2 strokes basically my whole life but the crf did look like the suspension was a little better on the landing but i would go with the yz just because i love it hahaha

  • I liked the 2 stroke but never rode it enough to get used to it the 4 stroke is my favorite it was much easier to handle. I couldn't get the 2 stroke to slow down!

  • The Yz would have did just as good over the jumps if he knew how to drive a 2 stroke

  • Well i love both bikes but the crf did way better over the jumps with its stiff suspension, but that 2 stroke zing makes me run back every time =]

  • i wonder why that yz 250 sounds so wierd?

  • on the yz you have to let it wind out before you shift

  • how much power does that crf have

  • Keep ur elbows up XD

  • what does the reed valve do on a 2 stroke ? do u have to adjust anything cause of it ?

  • @hondaman7578 you can adjust the reed valve itself but once its set you do nothing they work off suction on the intake and pressure from the piston coming up to push the exhaust out the other

  • You definitely look alot more comfortable on the CRF. The YZ certainly likes to throw the dirt around lol.
