On my last podcast with Brian Deegan, I challenged him to a good old fashioned 2-Stroke dirt bike build off #voteforgypsy
We would each take a Yamaha 2-Stroke and with no budget restrictions, build the best bike we possibly could. I had a feeling he was going to old-school, Mulisha spec, so I took advantage of Yamaha's 2024 50th Anniversary YZ250 and gave a modern take to a 90's icon.
To make this happen we first hit the Yamaha GYTR catalogue and loaded up on everything we could make fit this bike. Genuine is always the move. Then we did what we always do, head straight to Motosport.com to get a plethora of special parts and tools!
For suspension we went to MXTech - Dubya Wheels took care of our hoops - Renthal got us dialed in with bars, chain and sprockets - Luxxon got us sorted with some incredible triple clamps and Concept Coatings in Murrieta were able to transform our frame into a 93 throwback, as well as a whole host of Cerakote parts to really make this bike look the part.
