Whether it's the stunning acceleration, outstanding agility or adrenaline-inducing two-stroke sound, Yamaha's legendary YZ250 has built a massive following in the moto world.

On the track or on the trail, the exhilarating 250cc liquid-cooled engine provides an instant hit of power for holeshot-winning acceleration, while the exclusive Yamaha Power Valve System serves up plenty of torque in the low- to mid-range.

It's industry-leading KYB® suspension offers outstanding traction with plenty of feedback, and the slim bodywork and flat seat ease rider movement when braking, accelerating and cornering.

Combining with the YZ250's sleek lines, striking new 70th Anniversary Edition livery adds the perfect touch of iconic Yamaha style.
