2027 Yamaha YZ250

Meet the 2027 Yamaha YZ250 in Team Yamaha Blue—the kind of color that looks like it was poured straight out of the racing paddock and onto an all-business motocross machine. One glance and you can already hear the starting gate clatter.

At its heart is a 249cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder, 2-stroke setup with reed valve induction and a Keihin 38mm carburetor feeding a gas/oil premix appetite. It’s the sort of bike that keeps things refreshingly direct: kick start, regular fuel, and that classic 2-stroke snap that makes every straight feel shorter and every corner exit feel like a launch.

Row through a 5-speed manual transmission with overdrive, send power to the rear via chain drive, and let the chassis do what it was built to do. The aluminum frame keeps everything feeling precise, while the bike’s trim 227 lb wet weight helps it stay lively when you’re changing lines, floating over braking bumps, or threading through ruts with commitment.

Suspension is pure off-road intent: a KYB 48mm inverted fork with 11.8 in. of travel, complete with adjustable fork pre-load and adjustable rebound damping, paired with a KYB rear shock on a twin-sided swingarm delivering 12.4 in. of travel, plus adjustable spring pre-load and adjustable rebound damping. Add in a tall, ready-to-attack stance—14.2 in. of ground clearance and a 38.4 in. seat height—and you’ve got a machine that’s comfortable living where the terrain gets ugly.

Stopping power comes from hydraulic disc brakes front and rear (with a brake rotor/caliper guard), and it rolls on Excel® aluminum wheels wrapped in Dunlop® Geomax MX33 rubber—80/100-21 up front and 110/90-19 out back—because traction is the whole point.

Finished with practical touches like chassis protectors, fork guards, and a chain guard, this Team Yamaha Blue YZ250 isn’t trying to be complicated. It’s trying to be unforgettable.
