Bike Review has published the global first ride of the 2027 Yamaha YZ250F, scoring it 9.3 out of 10. The 107kg motocrosser carries a 6.2L tank and new KYB suspension with 310mm front and 295mm rear travel. Priced at $15,049, it adds dual engine maps and traction control.
A light hydraulic clutch you can control from the start all the way through the closing laps — from what I've felt on track, that's the detail that matters most. The throttle response they describe sounds like it puts that old sensation right back through your fingertips. No arm pump after all that riding is exactly the spec I wanted back when I was young.

What's dual mapping actually used for day to day?
I'm not the type to ask a motocrosser about luggage space, just watching from the sidelines.
A YZ250F with traction control sounds unfairly fun.
At that price it's obviously getting compared to the KTM 250SXF.
107kg and a 9.3 score — the weight-to-numbers balance looks solid.
High score or not, $15,049 feels steep for a motocrosser.
