'For a Consumer, This Package is HARD TO BEAT!' - RV2 on the 2025 Yamaha YZ250F

Last week, Yamaha handed over a fleet of 2025 Yamaha YZ250F test bikes to the media, and our buddy Ryan Villopoto was hanging out and doing the ambassador thing so we asked him to throw a leg over our SML machine and let us know what he thought. His insight was invaluable and left us rethinking what we might modify about the bike first, once our 2025 250 Shootout is completed.

Its so awesome to see and hear RV actually happy to be riding. He looked absolutely miserable his last couple years racing even when he was the top dog.

RV2 is still an animal on a bike, that corner speed 🔥

lol “I’m pretty fast still”. Probably one of the only people to say that where it is actually him being modest!!! Still a bad dude stoked to see he still loves riding

Man that was the fastest I’ve ever seen as a tag along from the go pro . He was flying

[motomatt]

Holy crap RV better slow down or Yamaha will put him on the gate for some pro nationals

People who put the GoPros under the Visors… Thank you 🙏

How was he going so fast not even pushing the bike hard hardly changing Gears just smooth acceleration difference between a Pro V Amateurs
