Before anyone posts a comment critiquing my riding style please know that this was my friend's dad's bike and so I didn't want to crash it and I wasn't used to the way it felt. If you want to critique me watch my other videos where I ride my own bike which is a two stroke by the way.
Hey !! You did just fine, I would've done the exact same thing. Get in that circle u were riding & get the feel. 1st x on that 250, I applaud you for not laying it down.,👍
@@phantomshtter Yeah because they are. The CR500 is no weed whacker. And the 2 smoker can be rebuilt in your garage in a day; not so with a 4 stroke. Any beta male can jump on any 4 stroke and ride. Again, not so with a 2 stroke.
I remember my first time riding a 2 stroke. The power band just felt so unnatural compared to 4 strokes, and it gives you nothing but then gives you everything! Super addicting. If you ever get into sport bikes, then you can really experience what a true power band can feel like. CHEeeeAAAAAAAAAHHH!
250's, especially the YZ250, don't really have a powerband like a 125. If it's running it's making power! And plenty of it! The response of a 250 two stroke is like nothing else. Twist the wrist a little and the bike just leaps forward.
@@roytoersen4801 a 250 4 stroke imo will be a lot more fun than a 70cc 2 stroke, ive ridden a 50 and 70 2 stroke and a 250 4 stroke and the 4 stroke was a lot more fun
@@roytoersen4801 that depends, I would for sure keep up things like oil changes and just regular maintanance but yeah compared to 2 strokes 4 strokes don't need nearly as much maintanance. Only issue is when a 4 stroke eventually does need a new top end it gets pricey whereas a two-stroke stays cheap.
take no notice of anyone saying negative stuff man, I've ridden all different bikes all my life to switching from a kx450f to a 2010 yz250 a couple years ago after. so hard to get comfortable on them at first especially when its not yours haha, but I wont ever go back to anything else now, best all-rounder bike ever made
I just moved up from a cr 80 2 stroke to a rm 250. I love it so much, even though I can't touch the ground. It has a fly wheel and I love just sitting in high gear hitting the power band and feeling the power. I dont think I'll ever go to a 4 stroke even though that's what most people use.
Grew up on the 2 smokers, had a 4 stroke for a few years once they got really good, something was missing. Riding a ktm sx250 rn and it just puts a smile on my face.
Had RMs, KXs, a Husky, a KTM, rode plenty of CRs, but the YZs were always special. The engine is fantastic, just huge linear torque, and a really light feel to the bike.
I rode 4 strokes my whole life, a week ago bought my first 2 stroke (nothing fancy, it's a KMX 125), but I'm fucking loving it, 2 strokes just hit different
Outside of a 2 stroke with power valve , which is a nice blend between a 4 stoke and 2 stroke, Knowing how to ride a 2 stroke and staying on the pipe u go from going fast to scary fast but more gear shifting as if ur not in the right gear an off the pipe the torque and power isn't there like a 4 stroke where u can b in the wrong gear and kinda lug through it
@@Rizik1986 you can also lug a 2 stroke just depends on the size, porting, pipe and if it has a power valve or not. (Power valves dont reduce power like some seem to think for some reason, they bring power to lower revs before you get on the pipe)
@@MV-ri7zu Lugging is more pronounced in 2 stroke as it will b clear ur in the wrong gear and ya power valve helps spread the power so it's easier to ride for folks not as experienced Once u find the gear and rpm so u can stay on the pipe the power delivery is night and day
@@MV-ri7zu lol Very True Takes a special breed to ride those bikes on the pipe Its practically a street bike off road ive seen folks cant even get into the powerband without flipping the bike back on them My dad always said about RM250... If u had the guts it had the glory Dad prefers the yellow bikes i prefer blue rebuilt a 80 and 250 green and 3rd gear the 80 is pulling the front end and they are so light! ive rode a few red ones but only like their quads 2 or 4 stroke
I remember when my friend had a cr85. I got HOOKED to 2 strokes, then years later my buddy was like wanna try the yz250. I was like fuck yea. That shit was insane🤣💀💀 def not a beginners bike. Hit that powaband and you feel your heart sink and send it. I need one again, one of the most exhilarating feelings
I rode and raced 2 strokes for many years going back to the early 1970's. The 4 stroke mandate came years after I quit riding so never got to experience a 4 stroke moto-cross bike. But having ridden many 4 strokes I know they have power but the fact they are almost like hitting the brakes when you back off the throttle as opposed to a 2 stroke that pretty much keeps going I figured it must have taken a good learning curve for those serious riders when they had to switch over. You spent your formative years and [whatever age you were when the switch happened] riding 2 strokes. It would almost be like if they suddenly put the basketball rim 5 feet higher. Even if you never could dunk you still have spent your life shooting at a 10' rim. And I miss hearing that zing-pop-pop-pop of 2 stroke MX.
Ya I rode my friends 4s my first time on one. And it felt like someone was yanking my neck with a rope each time I let off the gas ..DAMN it took me 15minures before I could even ride smooth .I am 53and always rode the smokers growing up
What’s funny, is I’ve mostly owned 4strokes and learned to ride kind of depending on that engine braking. I bought a YZ250 recently and the lack of engine braking freaked me out first little zip out to ride. You get used to carrying the momentum
I remember my fist ride and it was a two stroke.....She was very understanding and said to just practice more I would get better. We all have our fist and it's always the same our first and fun and that's all that matters. Enjoy your life.
When I was 16, I bought a highly modified CZ Jawa 400 2 stroke, you would have crapped your pants trying to ride that. We are talking 0-80 as fast as you could shift the 4-speed transmission. My friends all wanted to try riding it and I told them if you can handle riding with me driving, no problem. No one ever did. Even my father would not ride it after trying to one time. Basically, I rode it standing on the pegs with my quads resting on the handlebars to keep the front wheel close enough to the ground to steer it.
I used to have xr250 in my younger days. And once I met a guy who was a semi pro and owned a tuned cr250. He offered me to give it a try. Did some jumps and turns. After 15 minutes I got off of this beast with shaking knees and a firm feeling that I’m not going into mx. That was freaking scary. Really fun, but more on a scary side.
I remember my first 2 stroke experience it was a 125sx and i had only ridden small pittys man I got into 3rd pinned it and I was holdin on for dear life
@@chrisright2602 Yes have ridden the 450's. They do have power for sure. But a 250 2 stroke has more hp. A really good aggressive rider on a 250 2 stroke can run with any 4 stroke.
LOL…😆….Great Video…..remember guys that won USGP Championships on those bikes are in their 60s and 70s now. 😆😆😆😆…Old Dudes. Thanks Kid for making us old timers look good. Nicely Done ✅ Great Job!
My first time riding a 250 2 stroke was when I was picking the bike up to buy it on fb. After the test ride he was like damn you know how to ride ride. Had to make sure the bike worked properly 🤷🏽♂️😂
When I was a teenager for some reason I thought a 250 was too big for me. I had a YZ125 and to me it seemed like it had all the power I could ever handle. A buddy got a CR250 and I thought he was nuts. Then I finally rode one and realized it didn't matter once you knew a two stroke. So I got a big bore 420 and rode the piss out of it.
In my younger years, I bought a Honda CR-250 R ATV, new (three wheels for you youngsters)… Still got it to this day, heavily modified now, and I’ll put her up against any quad out there…
Hehe, what barbend is that? It looks so different to any regular that comes stock these days. The bike itself is an 00 or older? Two strokes are fun 👍🏼
I just got a 99 kx 250 a couple of weeks ago, haven't had any real time with it yet. I did look at my engine code and it looks like at some point someone swapped the 99 motor for a 97.
I have a 2017 YZ250X with a SmartCarb and a Scotts stabilizer. STUPID amounts of fun to ride😜 Glad you enjoyed two-strokes! They're very addicting. Have fun riding my friend and be safe BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP! Where is this track at?
@@braylandis212 the SmartCarb utilizes the same throttle cable and the rich/lean adjustments are done via a knob at the top of the carb. The choke lever is also on the left side, where most carbs normally have their choke lever positioned. Installation was pretty straight forward and I had to do minor trimming of my air boot, but nothing too complicated. I ride mostly open desert in southern CA and so far, so good! Is that a private track in AZ or a public one? Looks like fun! What's the name of it.
Gimme my Harley Street Bob anytime on country roads or even better, my 1948 rigid Triumph 650 mongrel, or my Norton 850 Commando. Gimme my BMW K1 or my Honda 1000 RR Fireblade for German Autobahn. But for off-road, MX, please give me my 250 Maico, vintage 1977… Nothing beats 2-strokes on any MX circuit!
I’ve personally been a 4 stroke guy my whole life I had one yz back in the day bike all around was just a time bomb first the top end went whatever fine rebuild it a week later the bottom end grenaded but it was what I could afford when I was younger ended up eating a grand on that bike killed it for me but I would Deff consider getting a new 125 to go w my rmz rn at some point
Its a shame 2 strokes are a dying breed. It's all 4 strokes nowadays. Not hating on them but nothing like a 2 stroke. Staying in that power band the sound and smell. Brings back memories just thinking about it.
I have a 450 f and a yz 250 plus a 250f. 450 and 2502t about the same power, but totally different. Two stroke a bit more touchy but yet easier to put precise power to the ground noticed on technical riding, plus 2t much lighter bike. 250f actually prob my fave though. Not on a hill climbing day though.
@@lukiotemmi it’ll rev high alright . It just takes immense balls to get it there , and not very many people have that . Hell sometimes it’s hard to do that with a 250 . They’re not slouches .
You need to try and ride an 90s cr250 with a steel frame. McGrath bike, I have a 92, power and on the 92 is like a wall of death, first 250 2 stroke I rode was a 2019 ktm, brand new, than a month later I bought my 92, new bikes are way more relaxed and forgiving
All that power on tapand it wasn't even reveved up. You'll never forget your first time on a 2 stroke. Ya gotta be on flat ground preferably a field the first time you open it up. You need room, twist the throttle let her eat and HOLD ON.
Not bad I mean the bike at taking your gentle inputs and not bucking you around too much.. tight new bike!…definitely think my 95 cr250 is tuned better it’s always in power band unless your barely rolling in 4th or rolling in 5th
Interesting to watch the new generation approach 2 strokes and have no clue what they are how they work, not to forget how they behave. Interesting to see how one tries to ride one like a 4 stroke and be totally thrown off. Keep hitting and you’ll get the hang of it, lots of clutch action and let it rail on the pipe
Well I own a CR125 and have only ridden one four stroke in my life I'm just not used to the 250 power not to mention I didn't want to crash a bike that's not mine.
I always rode 2 stroke bought my first 4 stroke 450 and it's super weird coming from a 2 stroke I'm sure in time I'll get the 4 stroke power feel but I can ride a 2 stroke better for sure I only tried the 4 stroke for an hour so far
I've been riding 2 stroke for more than 20 years, and about a year ago I bought my first 4 stroke. They're very different, and after a year of enjoying the 4 stroke regularly...it is a very different experience and my style of riding still hasn't fully adjusted.
@@enallane5538 Even at idle? Not all bikes have the same power valve, are they all just resting under no tension or load at idle? Thanks for you input as well.
@@ElonMuskX Hondas and kawasakis have very noisy powervalves. why? I'm not quite sure. but listen to a early air cooled cr with no powervalves then a liquid cooled one with. The difference is clear. It works by spiinning up a gear and centrifugal force pushes a lever to fight the power valve springs, it's a little bit of a buzz because there's very little pre load on that spring, so it takes up the slack starts compressing the spring then it's too much and bogs down the mech. this makes sense to me and seems to be the general concensus. cleaning the powervalves and lubing them can help.
@@enallane5538 Never thought about lubing a PV - with 2 stroke oil or? Did they ever make the lever stronger on the PV or does it still bend as easy as Swiss cheese?

You didn't crash it...good enough for me.
Tell your dads friend to stop being ghetto and put a bar pad on and straighten those levers 😂🤦🏻♂️
Just before I read that I was thinking “I’d be ripping that thing so hard” but I would definitely crash too😂

Two stroke a bit more touchy but yet easier to put precise power to the ground noticed on technical riding, plus 2t much lighter bike. 250f actually prob my fave though. Not on a hill climbing day though.
500 has like 0 powerband and doesnt rev up high
@@lukiotemmi it’ll rev high alright . It just takes immense balls to get it there , and not very many people have that . Hell sometimes it’s hard to do that with a 250 . They’re not slouches .
@@abelvelazco5450 they are no slouches, but their max rpm is at like 7000. And they have no powerband basically.
@@lukiotemmi have you ridden a 500??
Yes!! That is it buddy!!
Yo bro could u tell me or make a vid on your mic setup in your helmet?
At the time I was using a dango mount with a gopro hero
You need to try and ride an 90s cr250 with a steel frame. McGrath bike, I have a 92, power and on the 92 is like a wall of death, first 250 2 stroke I rode was a 2019 ktm, brand new, than a month later I bought my 92, new bikes are way more relaxed and forgiving
All that power on tapand it wasn't even reveved up. You'll never forget your first time on a 2 stroke. Ya gotta be on flat ground preferably a field the first time you open it up. You need room, twist the throttle let her eat and HOLD ON.
My first time on a two stroke was when I was three on a pw50
Yea if you are used to 125 and 80cc the first time on a 250 is like Damn!! I should have got one of these a while ago.
I definitely see a 250 in my future but for now my 125 is plenty
You need to try an 89 cr250.. have some real fun.
Good job ....looks scarey
Not bad I mean the bike at taking your gentle inputs and not bucking you around too much.. tight new bike!…definitely think my 95 cr250 is tuned better it’s always in power band unless your barely rolling in 4th or rolling in 5th
Not bad for your first time
The yz is great.
I think you could have ridden a YZ125 and just about felt as much "Whoa".
Fun fact there is a yz125 in the background of the video that I was riding at the time now I have a cr125
@@braylandis212 I was under the impression this was your first two stroke experience. My bad.
Which is better 4 stroke or 2 stroke
I personally prefer 2 stroke
A carb leak?? No my man, it's oil in the fuel🤣
Interesting to watch the new generation approach 2 strokes and have no clue what they are how they work, not to forget how they behave. Interesting to see how one tries to ride one like a 4 stroke and be totally thrown off. Keep hitting and you’ll get the hang of it, lots of clutch action and let it rail on the pipe
Well I own a CR125 and have only ridden one four stroke in my life I'm just not used to the 250 power not to mention I didn't want to crash a bike that's not mine.
@@braylandis212 all good! Once you get the hang of it you’ll have a blast!!
nice bike it is sweet
I didnt ride a 250 2 T until about a month ago abosulutely insane BETA 250RR. Easily the scariest mst addcitng bike ive ridden on dirt or on road.
2:51 My absolute favorite moment
Repeat and enjoy 😎
2 stroke torque!
0:55 was the homie lol
I love my CR250
The engine breaking does my ears in, I Think the clutch doesn't exist.
My bike jump was an 04 TTR125 to a 97 RM250
Grew up with 2 stroke, if it don't smoke it's a joke
Fun stuff
Instant power!
I love 2 strokes but my yard is more sized for a small 4 stroke.
Those bars are a bit set far forward and have a little bend to boot!
Let them learn! Braaapp
I always rode 2 stroke bought my first 4 stroke 450 and it's super weird coming from a 2 stroke I'm sure in time I'll get the 4 stroke power feel but I can ride a 2 stroke better for sure I only tried the 4 stroke for an hour so far
I've been riding 2 stroke for more than 20 years, and about a year ago I bought my first 4 stroke. They're very different, and after a year of enjoying the 4 stroke regularly...it is a very different experience and my style of riding still hasn't fully adjusted.
@@K3nVV hit the track with it first time and I like both just different
Where is this?
Az
Why do they always sound like they have piston slap???
powervalve accuation. they jiggle up and down as the rpms change and the governer starts opening the valve.
@@enallane5538 Even at idle? Not all bikes have the same power valve, are they all just resting under no tension or load at idle? Thanks for you input as well.
@@ElonMuskX Hondas and kawasakis have very noisy powervalves. why? I'm not quite sure. but listen to a early air cooled cr with no powervalves then a liquid cooled one with. The difference is clear. It works by spiinning up a gear and centrifugal force pushes a lever to fight the power valve springs, it's a little bit of a buzz because there's very little pre load on that spring, so it takes up the slack starts compressing the spring then it's too much and bogs down the mech. this makes sense to me and seems to be the general concensus. cleaning the powervalves and lubing them can help.
@@enallane5538 Never thought about lubing a PV - with 2 stroke oil or? Did they ever make the lever stronger on the PV or does it still bend as easy as Swiss cheese?
bruh wait until you hit the powerband
Imagine if you got it out of 2nd gear! ;)
You hit the "powerband" the very minute you gave it throttle. Its a measurement of the engines powercurve not a physical "thing"
