250 Shootout – In Depth | 2020 Yamaha YZ250F

 
 

Last week, the manufactures joined the SML crew out at Perris Raceway for the 2020 250cc Shootout. After one final day of riding and testing on each manufactures 2020 250 model, SML test riders sat down and gave us their top pick for the year, as well as their thoughts on each of the bikes. The 2020 Yamaha YZ250F came into the 2020 450 Shootout unchanged, aside from the new shroud graphics. However, thanks to its KYB suspension and snappy powerband, the machine dominated our shootout last year and did the same in 2020. Watch and listen to find out what made the 2020 Yamaha YZ250F our 2020 250cc bike of the year.
