What a great time to be a motocross rider and racer! In 2025 riders have more choices than ever when it comes time to pick a motocross bike; from two-strokes to four-strokes to the new electric offerings that are popping up, it seems like choices are unlimited. In the 250 four-stroke class alone, we’ve got seven legitimate offerings from Gas Gas, Honda, Husqvarna, Kawasaki, KTM, Triumph, and Yamaha. And that’s not counting the tried-and-true Suzuki, the Europe-only Fantic, or the mysterious TM!

For the past few months, we’ve been spinning countless laps at tracks throughout our locale, evaluating and enjoying the crop of 2025 250 motocross bikes. For our final day of back-to-back comparison testing, we gathered at Fox Raceway with six test riders of varying speed, size, and age, to gather some opinions about how the Gas Gas MC 250F, Honda CRF250R, Husqvarna FC 250, Kawasaki KX250, KTM 250 SX-F, Triumph TX250-F, and Yamaha YZ250F stacked up! Representatives from each manufacturer were invited to help set their bikes up ideally for each test rider. To ensure consistent traction, we outfitted all bikes with Dunlop MX34 tires and turned our test riders loose! Special thanks to Fun Bike Center in San Diego, California, for making this private comparison possible! Fun Bike Center is the best place in SoCal to get a Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha, or Stark Varg MX bike.
