agree 100%, I have ridden them all except the kawasaki, but everything said about the others is 100%.. the Honda Looks so good.. but you just can't beat the YZ250Fx power, suspension, tuner app, not that maps make a HUGE difference, its just past the Gimmick mark for me, with any map, but it does make a difference on them. Honda made huge advancements, but the Yamaha still has a strong edge in the power & suspension. You would think after all these years they could put out some suspension that's on par with kyb stock without spending another 1000 for a revalve. I'm not going green with stark Varg, but that seems like a great idea tuning the suspension to rider weight before purchase.

I have a 20 yzfx and a 22 rx. I agree with Trevor on those two (even though I’m old and slow). The power tuner and transmission put the Yamaha unquestionably first. The Honda starts really nice compared to my Yamaha. I put the red moto tank on it and that’s worth the $. Looking forward to seeing comments from the other guys.

Sherco needs to be tested

What about Yamaha WR250F?

KTM? have they stopped making a 250? Sherco could give the yamaha a run for the money, too.
