Patiently waiting on the YZ200X, please Yamaha, make the dream come true ! ✌️🇺🇸

Drove a 1977 yz125 in 1977 and have been hooked for life !!!. Most fun you can have on two wheels, when the powerband kicks in you gwtrer be holding on 👍

Do a 125 shootout with all of the 125s. Xc and mx on off road and mx tracks. That would be sick

[mikebishop]

Is the jetting better than the moto version

[toddsimone]

Why did they lower compression and how does the HP compare to the standard YZ? I get the feeling it's de-tuned a bit up top for better trail riding.

I love it just the way it is, I’m glad they haven’t changed much

[BarnStangz]

Looks sweet, thanks Yamaha for keeping the 2T alive!

buying a second bike next year, upgrading from a 1990 kawi ke100. (ive ridden 250s before, im good at riding but still a beginner) saw one of these at my dealer and fell in love, but they wanted too mch so im gonna get one used. i was skeptical about trail riding a 2t but after watching this, theres nothing else i want

Would be interested to hear a more in-depth comparison between the older X and the new platform. Considering the number of changes Yamaha made to their 125 “it feels more modern” doesn’t tell me a whole lot. Also was quite surprised to hear that the new X only provides a small boost in low-end over the yz…the ‘21 I rode was night-and-day from the moto version. Is that due to the new motor configuration, or do you feel the same about the previous model? I rode the ‘21 on tight, steep single-track and felt that the “lugability” and pick-up of that bike was quite remarkable for a small-bore. Thanks

hope Yamahas Will making a dual sport motorcycle like this soon 😋💥💯💥

it's difficult for me to get my head around using a 125cc 2-stroke on the trail. They kinda need to be wound (edit: used "rev'd" incorrectly), and there's so much slow and tight in the woods that I see myself bogging down below the power band. that said, most of this test footage is a lot faster than I think for off road (in upstate ny).

[gregmaggio]

The 250 is the better woods bike, especially if you're over 5'9, and 160 lbs plus. The bike will grow with your advancing skills too..

[ronlawson]

Don’t forget a good quality skid plate

[metalofthedeath]

What’s the ride time/range of these compared to the fi ktms? Are the ktms as fuel efficient as four strokes now?

[GForce.Racing]

Nice video but I have a question..you had time to order and put graphics on why couldn't you just throw some hand guards on it...

[brianwilkins]

What are the jetting u using? Mine is rlly rich at 52 pilot 165 main

[retrograde]

Anyone knows from experience how this bike would compare to honda crf250f for woods/enduro? There are some things that Iike in each bikes. Havent seen anyone compare these two against each other, but both could be used for that purpose.

[jonnysnipes]

Innovation lol that bike hasn’t changed in two decades lol

[robertcadiz]

Lot's of the footage looks like it's sped up?

[lcdubs]

I wish they'd bring back the IT with a head light and tail light.
