Looks good
July 21st, 2009 at 4:52 pm
wats up with the shrouds?? they look stupid
July 21st, 2009 at 4:57 pm
WHERE ARE THE NEW 450'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
July 21st, 2009 at 5:02 pm
Rad looking bike.. Bummer they re-designed everything and somehow forgot to put EFI on the machine… I guess one more year of dealing with jetting won't hurt.. Anyone see the EFI equipped YZF450 Larry Brooks was racing at REM a couple weeks ago? Good post.. YZ's look mean for 2010…
July 21st, 2009 at 5:02 pm
this bike is the dumbest looking bike iv ever seen change those shrouds they make it like like a husky
July 21st, 2009 at 5:05 pm
it looks like Yamaha to the plastics stright off of the husqvarna and slapped it on the new bike
July 21st, 2009 at 5:25 pm
Looks sick, bet it rips!
July 21st, 2009 at 5:28 pm
You all know once you see Stewart on one it'll be the greastest thing since sliced bread. But in my opinion that'll only take points away, so let the s&*^ start flying.
July 21st, 2009 at 5:55 pm
Looks great, cant wait to see the 450 now
July 21st, 2009 at 6:01 pm
I think the shrouds look more like a kawi and not the husky with the two pieces. The frame looks like a honda and not last years four piece frame or whatever it was. Yamaha quietly got rid of that old frame after making such a fuss about it when it first came out. I wonder if the new frame will be on the 2-strokes. No matter the changes the yzf will still be a dog compared to the kawi motor. though I do give yamaha credit for building bikes that last longer than any other brand without a rebuild. At the shop I work at as a mechanic I see crf250s have problems more than any other bike and yamahas the least, suzuki and kawi somewhere in the middle. I think the bike looks good though with the black rims even though they look like crap the first time you race in sand.
July 21st, 2009 at 6:14 pm
this is the best guy they could get to talk about the bike? come on. this guys horrible.
July 21st, 2009 at 6:16 pm
ugly!
July 21st, 2009 at 6:32 pm
looks like Husqvarna and KTM
July 21st, 2009 at 6:33 pm
Thats because Honda sells 3 times as many bikes.. you should have a 3 to 1 ration coming into your shop.
July 21st, 2009 at 6:53 pm
No, thats not right. I sell about the same number of kawasakis and hondas here in europe and my customers with the CRFs have a lot more problems with their bikes, too.
July 21st, 2009 at 6:54 pm
I agree with AJ247 and Finley929 those shrouds are straight off a Husky. Looks like they tried going for that Euro look but turned out kind of lame going on a motocross bike. Also, instead of modding out the carb, they may as well have taken it a step further and gone with an EFI unit. New looks/features are alright IMO. Overall, based on this vid, I give it a 6.7/10. Maybe if they put a more convincing/fluent speaking rep in front of the camera who doesn't stutter, the bike would seem a lot better.

July 21st, 2009 at 6:59 pm
Might I add it looks a helluva lot better in blue IMO. Maybe its just that white model that loos like ****.
July 21st, 2009 at 7:01 pm
Yamaha sucks
July 21st, 2009 at 7:32 pm
i hate it how every one is comlaining about how it looks like a husky/kawi.. if they kept it the same as the past models use would have bin complaining how they didnt change, give it a break guys the bike looks good!
July 21st, 2009 at 7:49 pm
doesnt matter wat it looks like it matters if it can get the job done and by the sound of the motor work it can…
July 21st, 2009 at 7:56 pm
Chicken Wafers!
July 21st, 2009 at 7:59 pm
GOD…….I hope this bike performs better than it looks……
what the hell were they thinking?
July 21st, 2009 at 8:04 pm
i CAANNNTT SEE YOUR VIIDEOOOS!! =( WHATS WRONG? DO I HAVE TO DOWNLOAD A CERTAIN MEDIA PLAYER OR WHAT? IM DESPERATE TO WATCH THIS VIDEO OF THE NEW 250!!!
July 21st, 2009 at 8:04 pm
thats because europeans dont know how to do anything but suck!!!
July 21st, 2009 at 8:07 pm
it is a yamaha so you shouldnt be expecting good looks anyway, they havent looked good in over 10 years.
July 21st, 2009 at 8:12 pm
i was thinking the exact same thing. the rear fender and side plates look like an old ktm setup and the shrouds look like a husky.
July 21st, 2009 at 8:15 pm
does yamaha know their janitor rolled a bike to the side of the building and decided to do his own narrative on the new bike. seriously, whats up with gilligan here and what is he trying to pick off his hands the whole time?? hope they gave him back his mop after this stunt.
July 21st, 2009 at 8:30 pm
your name says it all.
July 21st, 2009 at 8:30 pm
the ten's look ill yo!
July 21st, 2009 at 8:37 pm
the first guy to put 09 plastic on it is sitting on a goldmine
July 21st, 2009 at 9:15 pm
Oh you think we don´t know how to do things?
At least we can built offroad motorcycles. How many brands of bikes have you in the USofA dumbass?
July 21st, 2009 at 9:17 pm
Oh you think we don´t know how to do things?
July 21st, 2009 at 9:33 pm
Huh? I don't think we will see Stewart on a YZ250f.
July 21st, 2009 at 9:38 pm
i would ride it
July 21st, 2009 at 9:46 pm
who the hell filmed and edited this? the 80 some year old grandma from golden girls with parkinson's disease or my 5 year old son? i need a advil now to get ride of my headache.
July 21st, 2009 at 10:01 pm
i love when new bikes come out!!!!!
July 21st, 2009 at 10:05 pm
I agree. And where is the EFI?
July 21st, 2009 at 10:13 pm
BNG again. KAw has a software and cable kit you can buy and install fuel maps on the FI. I will pass on the yam this year.
July 21st, 2009 at 10:16 pm
Bring out the 450's with the FI and supermoto option kits. Ktm has hard parts with supermoto ready to bolt on. Would be nice to see a leap in innovation every once and awhile. not just a change in the thickness of a washer here and there and a more expensive fork that is not any better.
July 21st, 2009 at 11:51 pm
Complete tool selling the ugliest Yamaha I have ever seen! Why does the muffler still look like an uncircumsized penis??
July 21st, 2009 at 11:59 pm
you know the 450 will look the same jack ass
July 22nd, 2009 at 12:53 am
they made improvments everywhere but the motor? isnt the motor the reason it looses shootouts??? I think it looks like one of those aprillas
July 22nd, 2009 at 1:13 am
I WANT TO SEE THE 450! Not real crazy about the look, but it may grow on me…I'm sure the 450 will have the styling.
July 22nd, 2009 at 1:29 am
how long is the valve train going to last with aluminum valve guides……
July 22nd, 2009 at 3:18 am
That is Steve Butler. He was Jeff Emig's mechanic during his championship years with Yamaha. He's been with Yamaha for a very long time and knows the bikes better than anyone. They couldn't have had anyone more educated than Steve present the bike.
July 22nd, 2009 at 5:11 am
NO EFI!! LAME!!
July 22nd, 2009 at 7:03 am
is it efi
July 22nd, 2009 at 7:11 am
looks gay town , and why would we complaine if it stayed the same as last year ? at least it looked good last year , looks like a husky n they look like vomit
July 22nd, 2009 at 9:18 am
The shrouds destroyed this bike, Stop say " euro looking" if it was up to us european people we would change the hole husky look , but this, what is up with the yamaha japanese? The shrouds looks even worse then a husky!
July 22nd, 2009 at 11:32 am
why should we give the guyes a break? The shrouds destroyed the bikes overall cool look. Its nothing more about that, i i bet the rest of the bike works really good. I think they will change to EFI next year. btw why argue nobody on here can ride that yzf 250 to its full capability with carburator or EFI, EFI maybe good but overall i think that Yami will work good, Except the husky shrouds
they will lose at least 2 seconds per lap with those uggly suckers on there
lol
July 22nd, 2009 at 1:01 pm
Still don't know why anyone would prefer this to a CRF or KXF…
July 22nd, 2009 at 2:45 pm
i think it looks awsome
July 22nd, 2009 at 2:47 pm
no….its a known fact the hondas are valve eaters
July 22nd, 2009 at 2:48 pm
they r prob going to test out the efi on the 450f first rather then on both bikes, just as honda and suzuki
July 22nd, 2009 at 2:52 pm
cause crf suck
July 22nd, 2009 at 5:05 pm
Its Steve Butler dude! He's no janitor
July 22nd, 2009 at 9:03 pm
yeah, looks like wannabe ktm or husqvarna
July 23rd, 2009 at 12:28 am
you guys who are asking for an efi bike are lame and lazy.. mechanical engines are much better than engines with much electronics on it. give this bike a chance you crazy shits. lazy and obese G.I's!!!
July 23rd, 2009 at 12:37 am
wooow well i was thinking about getting a 2010 YZ but forget that. im sorry but yamaha ruined it this year. it looks so stupid
July 27th, 2009 at 8:07 pm

Thats good they have a new frame. I felt that the 2009 YZ250f handled very poorly. I came from a 2008 Suzuki and had a very difficult time switching to Yamaha. The Suzuki was a far better bike for cornering. You should keep this in mind when buying a new bike. Suspension and motor are easy to upgrade. Frame.. not so much.
August 12th, 2009 at 6:57 pm
The motor and carb mods for 10's come directly from their race motor R&D. In the past the stock 250f' have been slower revving under responsive machines. Anybody who has access to factory yamaha motor mods knows how different these bikes become. The general public will be in for a nice surprise. The new ergonomics wil help to eliminate head shake and allow a more aggresive rider posture in the corners. In the past this was only accomplished by changing the offset and bar bends to suit your riders size. As for looks - well I'll take perfomance over looks any day - sorry vets.
August 28th, 2009 at 6:27 pm
Everyones complaining about the looks.. its cause your living in the past! Live in the now :P! Bike looks mean!
August 31st, 2009 at 2:37 pm
