The 350s absolutely amazing! The yz is just so nimble!

Yeah its crazy the yamaha feels easy 10 pounds lighter! The new spring forks on the 350 are so good! Haha yeah kyle had a 2022 yz450fx and it was such a beast! Hahah yeah I thought kyle was going down hard!

It's a super hard choice for me! The 350 power is absolutely perfect! But the nimbleness of the 250fx is just so amazing!

@ I have a 350 & a tx300 so get best of both worlds

I need to try the xwf version some day!

Yes true I kept it in white! I had 2 different maps on the 250 and even in the softer map it still felt quite snappy! I'd love to ride the fx back to back with an xcf! I habe a few other bikes lined up to test against it ill be trying to find a 250xcf as well! I rode one at a demo day but it was 2 laps on a motocross track so I didnt have much time on it i do recall it being very smooth as well!

Yes and yes! Honestly felt 450 like some times! I might even get a g2 throttle tamer to chill out the initial snap on the throttle. I'll ride it a few more times before doing any mods though!

Ok so ive never ridden a wr450. However I have a lot of seat time on the yz450fx and it is an absolute monster! So much power it was honestly hard to ride because it was so blazing fast and powerful. I've owned 3 450s and none of them had the speed and power of the 450fx. And as for resale value I'd say exact opposite! Much easier to sell a 250 than a 450. I had a 250fx and buddy had the 450fx. My 250 had so much interest and it sold in less than a week. The 450fx took months to sale and even took lowering the price a bit! I feel like people are going away from 450s and riding 350s 250s or 300s instead! Even my local shops have insane deals on 450s because they can't get them sold but all their 250s are sold

@utmx thank you very much for the quick and informative replies!! Alright, I'm going 250....once I decide between WR or YZ. THANKS!!! 🤙

Utah! This is called soldiers pass. Where you from?

Hahaha yeah that's to cold for me haha! We definitely have states that are just as cold as Canada but yeah utah only has a few negative temp days per year

My main bike is a tx300 it's so dang good! The 350 definitely has advantages on hills and overall speed but the 250 wins in the nimble department!

@@utmxhow does the low rev lug-ability feel on the 350?

Ah man don't make me choose hahah honestly possibly the fx. Up on high my single track with lots of roots and rocks i choose the 300 no doubt. But any type of higher speed flow I choose the fx hands down

Watch some videos on the 2024 yz250f. Everyone is mad because it has no low end power. Even justin starling a pro supercross rider said he'd choose this fx model over the f. Everyone with the 2024 and 25 250f is doing mods right away because they are very low on power. The main mod they do is the airbox mod and this fx model comes already with an updated airbox. Generally yes mx bikes are more power but on these 2 bikes specifically the fx definitely has more power. I'll be riding it back to back with the f model hopefully soon

⁠@@utmxI have watched loads on the 2025 YZ and YZ FX. Several have said the YZ has worse bottom end than prior years but I’ve not heard a single person say the FX is faster… what possible reason would Yamaha have for doing that? I haven’t ridden the 2025s so I don’t know, but that would be insane for Yamaha to do that. Jay Clarke just put out a video on the FX and mentioned riding the stock YZ and intimated the opposite 🤷🏼‍♂️ Another TH-camr just tried a YZ then bought an FX and he hasn’t said the FX felt faster. Will be interested to hear your thoughts when you back to back them.

@Mockle07 i mostly mean low end power. The fx definitely feels like it's got a bit more of low end power. I can't speak for high rpm. The yz250f is known for being able to stretch gears and ride in really high rpms and rip! This was a break in ride so I didnt wanna stretch it out to much! I'll be doing back to back vs the 2025 crf 250r works edition as well as a 2024 yz250f anniversary edition as soon as the weather permits and then ill really be able to tell the difference in motor characteristics!

@ Yeah you did specify low end so that was clear. I wonder if it’s a gearing thing? I’m only curious as a WR250 is high on my ‘next bike’ list. (I’m in the UK by the way - our WR is the same as your FX but with a headlight… it’s not the same as your choked up dual sport WR.) It’s hard to get test rides here though, hence the reliance on user feedback on the Tube!

That's awesome man i love the old school bikes!

A true legend

Can you make a vid I’m interested

Hahahahaja so funny

Congrats man! Let me know how it does on the track! I rode it on a little track but it's to small to make a real impression on how it handles moto!

Haha yeah it's crazy the amount of power on this thing! Most 250s feep super dull but this bike is very lively haha

Yeah man i had the same issue in 2022 I wanted the fx so bad and had to drive 5 hrs to get one! I love both 2t and 4t! I have a husky tx300 as well. This bike is soooo fun in the fast flowy stuff! This trail is in utah near utah lake!

Just getting used to it first lol suspension was deflecting and it's my break in ride so I purposely was keeping the rpms down

Thanks for watching! Yeah man we have amazing trails here from desert to dunes to high mt forest single track!

Hahahaha i feel ya man! I almost always ride 2 stroke but man this bikes fun

Ah it's hard to choose haha! My other bike is a tx300. I will say whenever the trail is really rocky rooty or rough I definitely like the 2 stroke better. But as soon as the trail gets any type of flow and speed then this 250fx is the most fun you can have on a bike!

@@utmx ok,ya i race harescrambles where Ben Kelley and Johnny Gorior grew up racing,,very technical rocks and roots,,good ole new england haha

@@tmlpony try and find someone with one and ride with them and switch for a little bit out on your ride! its a great Harescramble bike thats for sure!

@ good idea,im probably gonna buy one and keep the ktm250xcw,,have the best of both worlds ha

@tmlpony good plan! I support this decision haha

Hey I weight 165 and so far the front forks are a bit harsh. I'll mess with clickers and see if i can get them working better for me. I had a 250x as well. Very fun bike but pretty violent! I like the ktm 300s better for my 2 stroke. I've only ridden 1 wr250 and it was a bit older. This bike has 5x the amount of power and snap of the wr! All depends on your riding and where you ride! This bike is very good for all around. Desert,dunes,moto,single track! Where as the wr would be mostly single track and more chill riding compared to the fx! Where do you mostly ride?

@utmx The San Juan's in CO. Moab UT on the weekends. I'm kind of thinking the new wr250F might be the route I should go. Heard the suspension is a tad softer, and after uncorking will still have decent enough power. Currently just putting around on a crf250F (air cooled and impossible to stall) but the suspension hits its limits quickly. GREAT little bike especially with IRC VE33 tires. Had a wr250R and put 40k miles on it, amongst other bikes too. Wr250F might be the one 🤔 I ride a ton, it's all I love to do

@cbrmike69 that ve33 is the best tire ever! Awesome man I love moab im in utah moab is about 4 hrs away for me. Yeah you will like the wr more than your honda! Get it man you will love it! Let me know what you end up getting!

You need to try this bad boy!!!

I got that map to ill have to try it next! It's insane how nimble it feels!! Can't wait to put more hours on it!

That's the big question haha. My problem is i love 2 strokes and 4 strokes so I always want what I don't have so ill probably keep this and my 300. I had a 2022 and rode it up af a ton and it did great! It will never be as good as a 300 but as far as 4 strokes go it's definitely one of the best!

Do it!!!! All I wanna do is go ride it haha so good!

You got a good bike as well! Those 350s are some of my all time favorite bikes!!

Absolutely! I'm only 5,9. Look up pro motocross racers height. The goat greatest of all time Ricky charmichael is shorter than you! At first it may be a little intimidating but you get used to the height quickly! You can get lowering links to drop it 2 inches if desired but it ruins the feel of the bike. You will love that crf I'd say go for it and get used to it! Do slow moving figure 8 drills and you will get used to the height and it helps with clutch control and balance

@@utmxI’m not a beginner but I’m a trail rider and was wondering if the torque is bad

@@Full_throttle91 its a really great bike as far as 4 strokes go its one of the best. i personally like the ktm 350xcf more as well as the yz250fx but its very close 3rd place for me! its pretty smooth! the 350 is the smoothest and overall best 4 stroke for trail riding if you dont want a 2 stroke

@@utmx one more thing what is the difference between low end torque and high end torque and does the crf250rx have low end torque or high end torque

@Full_throttle91 the rx has more low end. It's basically just where the thumpy power is. Either low rpms or high rpms. Usually trail bikes have more low end and then motocross bikes have a little more balance of high and low. You can change the torque by getting different sprockets with different teeth count

Hahaha I guess we'll see! I'll be comparing it to my tx300 and my buddies yz250x

I still own one. Got the title to prove it

@utmx go outside and take a picture of it right now.

I wish!

Awesome man you will love it! The 25 is so much better! Let me know once you get it!

Me too haha! It sucks it snowed the day I got it... I'm excited to put it up against kyles 350! I was sooo close to getting an xcf350. If ktm ends up doing any sales like I keep hearing about then I'm gonna get a 350 hahaha

@ I love my 350. Perfect amount of power and also love the PDS suspension.

@fattie2550 which 350 do you have? I thought you had linkage suspension

@ 2024 KTM 350xw-F uncorked with ecu tune. Comes with PDS

@fattie2550 ok awesome! Yeah I thought you had the xcf! Sweet bike man I bet it's super fun!

Haha I still have my tx300! 1 for woods and then the yamaha for desert and moto!

@ Hell yeah man.

🤙🤙🤙🤙💥💥💥

Those 250s are awesome!

Save up and get you one mate!!

Haha look em up mate! Different graphics...not to mention the 2025 is a complete redesigned bike for the 250fx compared to the 2024 so they aren't even close lol

@ I was joking… I don’t need to look em up. I see them everyday. I work for a Yamaha dealer here in Michigan.

@@Nvenus27 hahaha! Bet that's a fun job!

The 250x is such a great bike!

They all have electric start

@ I am talking about a two stroke 300 with a electric start for enduro riding the old KDX 200 were legendary

@aaronsilcock958 hahah ah man i dream of the day they make a new version of that!!

@ so good

I bet that looks awesome!!

Me too!

Only happened the 1 time then no issues!

@ did it happen when running gas from the dealer?

@ryanboening yes at least part of the tank was dealers gas

The Japanese bikes are definitely mechanically sound! I've had ktms for 5 years and never really had much issues but the odd easy fix here and there! But your right the Japanese bikes are a great platform that are definitely built well!

I'd think only in the used market. I do see a lot of used bikes in my area. But shops won't have any 23s anymore. Lots of good deals going on for 24 modles though

It actually got stolen a few months back! I still have the title, though and know who stole it so I'm gonna send the cops to his house

@utmx it's definitely in better hands now.

@highspeedchace really? I never broke it.... you broke it and dented the pipe... poor thing will never be the same

@utmx yeah cuz it actually gets down ridden now.
