Over the 16-year history of the Yamaha YZ250, it has been updated literally a few times. This two-stroke motocross pin seems to be frozen in amber - which, of course, makes it almost a work of art. What other motocross motorcycles do you know that have survived to this day in almost unchanged condition? Yes, actually, YZ250 and YZ125. Moreover, you can safely buy it if you have extra money: over the years it will practically not become cheaper. But this is talking about the secondary market, but as for buying a new one - think carefully about whether you need to overpay for a motorcycle from a showroom that is exactly the same as a few years ago?
The great thing about the new Yamaha YZ250 is that it's still in production. The last Japanese two-stroke competitor, Yamaha, said his “Sayonara” 12 years ago, and the Blues met a worthy opponent only when KTM began to seriously develop the two-stroke direction.
It is worth recognizing that the 2022 KTM 250SX is a much more technically advanced motorcycle than the Yamaha YZ250. It's 3 kilos lighter, equipped with a balance shaft, a hydraulic clutch, plush Brembo brakes, and steers sharper, but the YZ250 still holds its own thanks to the work of Pro Circuit, FMF, Boyesen and Moto Tassinari. But Yamaha shouldn't be complacent: KTM is just playing giveaway. A few years ago they had 50 horsepower 250SX, then derated to 47 horsepower.
Why does KTM give in? And he likes this game. The success of two-stroke technology is based on its availability, low cost of ownership and mechanical simplicity. And KTM absolutely does not want to play alone on an empty field - it needs a worthy opponent, and of a suitable level.
Think about it: TPI (Train Port Injection) technology, that is, a fuel injection system for two-stroke engines, was in stock at KTM a few years ago, but was not taken out of its sleeve until increasingly stringent environmental standards tried to completely strangle two-stroke off-road performance. technology in Europe. That’s when two-stroke enduros were revealed to the world, and at that moment KTM could well have taken over the Japanese competitor and rolled out fuel-injected two-stroke motocross, cross-country and dual-sport models. But they didn’t.
Because the injection two-stroke inherently contradicts the concept of “availability, low cost of ownership and mechanical simplicity.” To the company's credit, and as proof that it understands two-stroke buyers, KTM did not make a 50-horsepower fuel-injected two-stroke motocross bike until circumstances forced it to do so. KTM didn't want to raise the price of a new two-stroke motorcycle, no matter how good the bike was.
Yamaha YZ250
But let's get back to the YZ250. This Yamaha is less powerful than the KTM 250SX, but that doesn't mean it's slower. On the dyno, the KTM made 47.2 hp and the Yamaha YZ250 made 46.08 hp , but it's worth noting that the YZ250 peaks at 8,800 rpm, while the 250SX peaks at 8,200 rpm. A difference of 1 hp means very little on the track, and the character of these motorcycles is so different that it is not clear how to compare them at all.
On the road, the KTM 250SX is significantly more powerful at low and mid-range speeds, and is 4 hp more powerful than the YZ250 at 7000 rpm. It undermines more powerfully, pulls more powerfully, but runs out of steam a little earlier. And at 8800 rpm, the YZ250 is already 4.7 hp more powerful than the KTM. In general, the Yamaha has an obvious top-mounted engine, while the KTM has a grass-roots character, and it’s a very funny contrast - the tractor pull versus the torque of a typical two-stroke. And at the same time, the Yamaha YZ250 engine feels more elastic, more manageable and comfortable to ride than the more powerful overall and torquey KTM 250SX.
Yamaha YZ250 Suspensions
Back in 2006, Kayaba SSS suspensions were far ahead of the competition: the SSS fork has excellent flat-out resistance and well-designed smoothing. This is arguably the best stock fork available today, and the new generation of spring forks on the Suzuki RM-Z450, Honda CRF450 and Kawasaki KX250 do not compare to the SSS.
Why is she so good? It was designed so that at the beginning of the stroke it had a more rigid smoothing and quickly returned to its original state in order to be ready for a new obstacle. Previously, the smoothing pattern of the average motocross fork was 70 percent dependent on the position of the fork piston in the cartridge: the further the piston went down, the harsher the smoothing.
In a stroke of genius, Kayaba made the 2006 SSS fork 90% speed dependent. Speed-dependent smoothing is so called because the stiffness of the smoothing does not depend on the position of the fork piston in the cartridge, but on the speed at which the piston moves across the cartridge. By moving from 30 percent speed-dependent to 90 percent, Yamaha found the perfect approach to suspension: all subsequent Yamaha forks from 2006 to 2021 are based on these developments and have similar linearity smoothing. There are no peaks or valleys in their characteristics; they change stiffness equally at the beginning of the stroke and at the end depending on the speed. Now it's easy to say that the stiffness of modern forks is dependent on speed, but that's the same as saying that all modern forks are copying the Kayaba SSS idea.

, Thanks again for the reviews. So))) You’re right about the Sibiha - I have a “glitch in the program “)))
About auctioneers - I’m going to take a spendthrift (not this one specifically, but finally
still from the salon. And they eliminate those shortcomings that are indicated on the sheet, and do FULL THINGS (at least where I looked.). Here. So I can ask them. and receive either repair/adjustment or a discount. This is provided for, managers talk about it.
Regarding the equipment. I've been going back and forth with the equipment issue since September.
)) 1. Helmet - KBC last year's model, certification, all the crap: 3300 rubles. with delivery to Voronezh (a helmet with the same Yuvex characteristics costs 8-9 thousand). 2. Shell - USD - model 6505-1 Fullarmor is sold in Trial Sports, a test up to 100 km/h costs 2800 rubles, if you get a post-New Year discount of 2000 rubles. (The same Acerbis shell costs 5200 RUR model 2004) 3. Pants - compilation material: pig skins (1500 RUR new or up to 600 RUR second-hand) + Stingrey knee pads (500 RUR set - knees, elbows and palms) + shorts from the same trial (800 RUR) 4. Motorcycle boots - any to choose from 89 to 170 raccoons, all of them with test, no worse than Alpinstar for 300 RUR.

, thank you, of course, but I don’t need the equipment yet, I just can’t find the money for it! That's why I'm not even asking the price! I’ll try to strengthen the biker jacket, maybe the motorcycle jacket will ride! Anyone can buy a helmet! Instead of motorcycle bots, I think they’ll wear combat boots, pants - jeans with knee pads!
PS: don’t judge strictly, I just don’t have the money, I’ll be careful and buy it at the first opportunity!

Uhhh. Of course, I’m completely “zero” in motorcycles, but about the equipment - you’re in vain. as the guy from the motorcycle shop told me - if you have 3 bucks, spend one and a half on equipment, a grand on the motorcycle, and 500 on the motorcycle school : - ) .
(By the way, it’s been a long time since I raced on a drag race, and I was wearing a helmet.)
By the way, I can present (for advice on motorcycles: - )))))) Stingrey shoulder pads. Sew it into your leather jacket. at least something .

And Ishsho. The boots won't last. I’m telling you this as a parachuting instructor. (Ash became embarrassed).
With normal contact of the legs with “hardness,” the ankle boots also turn out. Honestly. and I’m not talking about “side impact” or “clamping/flattening” at all.

having finished the flood. SO:
Nerv08-01-2006, 17:42 dat4 as if a couple of pitfalls will dissuade you from buying.
. and I wouldn’t write anything if it weren’t for a cup of coffee and a free half hour. And so, the stones for the studio: 1. Due to the small volume and highly accelerated engine, the resource is low. 2. Due to the high-speed motor and its small cubic capacity. The operating range of the motor is in the high speed zone. In other words, the engine begins to push with enviable enthusiasm when the needle is closer to the red zone. 3. Due to the small cubic capacity, riding with a passenger is not very pleasant, the dynamics of the motorcycle disappear before your eyes, and in general, every extra kilogram is not easy for the “CHEKUSHKA”. 4. Motorcycle gearbox, Yamaha. Here you just need to understand that this is a Yamaha, and comments are probably unnecessary.
And then, in the minuses there are pluses. Due to the small engine volume, the engine is made quite light, and then the entire motorcycle. Which actually gives noticeable advantages in the city crowd. I can’t say anything about controllability, interchangeability of parts, and rigidity of the chassis design. Haven't tried it
And outwardly, he's crazy

For complete beginners, the bike is just right. Of course, this is not a 125 cc asshole, but after a motor scooter. ZIL will bore you within a month. Besides, 1992, 16 years old, didn’t seem to be completely bad. Take a fresher one, 400 cubic meters. I rode it during my service in the Far East, when the owner, the commander of the warhead-5, was drinking or sick. I remember that I gave up trying to catch neutral.

Japanese Zeal text: Artyom Drozdov, Tver Yamaha Zeal:
It took a long and hard time to acquire a Japanese foreign car. Firstly, it was not so easy to collect the required amount, even for a second-hand device. Secondly, due to this, I couldn’t decide on a model. What we liked in terms of design and characteristics was seriously out of budget. Finally, in the spring I managed to successfully sell the Ural and went to Moscow to buy a “Japanese” - then I decided to settle on the Yamaha SRX400. But the capital's motorcycle shops greeted me with almost empty shelves: inexpensive devices had already been dismantled, leaving either trash or unpopular models. I won’t tell you what torment this search cost me. I didn’t want to return home without a motorcycle. And one of the visitors helped me get out of this stalemate. He came to pick up consumables, heard my questions to the seller and began asking me questions. Having delved into the situation, he advised me to pay attention to the 250 cc Yamaha Zeal. At first I didn’t even understand what kind of ZIL this was. We laughed at the consonance of the names, and he told us more about the model - his girlfriend had driven one before.
I sat behind the wheel and looked from the side... So what? Cute device! And how did I not look at it before? The only thing that confused me was the cubic capacity, but 40 hp. The passport promised a lot. The same SRX400 has less. In general, I gave the deposit, took a ride around the salon - I liked it. And I bought it.
I drove along and was amazed at the “Japanese” all the way. This is necessary, no matter how old the motorcycle is, but it “flies” like a bullet! No comparison with sow cycles. And what brakes! You can slow down down to the millimeter. It’s just that the front “telescope” seemed to me to be too soft (as it turned out later, the seals and oil had to be changed), but otherwise it’s just super! I didn't regret buying it.
Almost our entire party met me at home. At first they were surprised at my choice, they said that it would not be enough. But when I tore up the same SRX400 with Honda Bros in the first race, they appreciated it. So from a “Uralist” with dirty hands, I turned into a motorcyclist. I even had to seriously update my wardrobe.

The model clearly has more advantages than disadvantages. Light weight and base allow you to make quick lane changes on the road. The four-cylinder engine is loud and revvy, the main power output is around 10,000–12,000 rpm. Comfortable seating, and even a passenger seat is provided. But you shouldn’t put it on it - the ZIL immediately runs out of steam and doesn’t hold up. The dynamics are quite enough for me (especially up to 100 km/h), but after 120 km/h it’s as if it’s hitting an invisible wall - it accelerates, of course, but very slowly. Soft suspensions are good on our asphalt, but the rear pendulum starts to jump when making sharp turns. However, as I understand it, this is a feature of most classics.
There were no breakdowns during the season, I changed the oil, filters and pads. Next up is the tires - cracked sidewalls are dangerous and do not hold up on wet roads. I installed a more powerful bulb in the headlight, under xenon. It has become much better both in terms of passive safety and illumination.
When they ask me what I drive now, I proudly answer: “On a ZIL!” Almost no one understands this joke, but it makes fun of me. The model is really not very widespread among us, and it’s a pity that only a few recognized its advantages. Perhaps my opinion will help someone when choosing a budget “Japanese”.
Yamaha YZ250 Chassis and Handling
The main thing about the way the Yamaha YZ250 handles is the lack of any special features. It holds straight lines well and turns well , while it is responsive to steering without sacrificing precision, and the rigidity of its chassis does not cause discomfort. In short, the YZ250 is absolutely predictable, stable and reliable. These specs may sound underwhelming, but there's nothing to get excited about: the 2022 Yamaha YZ250 isn't the nimblest bike, but it's more than capable of winning races.
The 2022 Yamaha YZ250 weighs 99 kilograms, which is considerably lighter than the 108-kilogram Yamaha YZ450F, but that's a lot for a 250 two-stroke. KTM won't let you lie: the 250SX weighs 96 kilos.
YBR 125th
This is a small bike for moving through city streets with heavy traffic. It is recommended for purchase by beginners in order to master the principles of driving.
The mechanism is convenient and unpretentious. It is characterized by the following technical features:
- four-stroke engine, with a camshaft on top, power - 10 horsepower, at 124 cc. cm volume;
- maximum speed - 110 km/h;
- transmission - manual, 5 gears;
- compression ratio - 10:1;
- gasoline supply through the carburetor;
- electric starter plant;
- tank volume - 13 liters;
- consumption per 100 km - 3 l.
The design is extremely simple and reliable, all faults are detected quickly and eliminated effectively. Spare parts can be easily purchased from dealers at reasonable prices.
Diagonal frame, steel wheels, low weight, compactness (length 1985 mm, width 745 mm, height 1080 mm) increase handling. The driver has a wide seat upholstered in leather. The instrument panel is clearly visible thanks to LED backlighting. It is called safe and reliable. The stopping process occurs using a hydraulic disc brake. If necessary, the steering rack is locked with a key.
For off-road driving, the rear wheels are equipped with shock absorbers to improve traction. If you install tires with a stronger tread, this will also improve its performance. An economical urban option in terms of fuel and lubricant costs. For example, a full tank can last up to 350 km. A relatively inexpensive sample is used as a training model for beginners to master control of a bike. Those who already feel confident behind the wheel will appreciate the calm, smooth movement.
Yamaha YZ250 price
(taken from the US market for reference)
In 2006, the new, amazing and very cool Yamaha YZ250 was $6,199 and the 2006 KTM 250SX was $6,299. Sixteen years later, the 2022 Yamaha YZ250 costs $7,499 and the 2022 KTM 250SX costs $8,399—a difference of nine hundred dollars rather than a hundred. And the Yamaha YZ250 is so much cheaper mainly because in those 16 years Yamaha spent almost nothing but new graphics. For an additional $900 spent in favor of the Austrian manufacturer, you get a state-of-the-art fuel-injected motorcycle that is lighter, better handles and has more powerful brakes, a reliable hydraulic clutch, switchable engine maps, an adjustable power valve, a convenient airbox, a balancer shaft and racing origins. If you decide to spend the same $900 on modifications to the Yamaha, then you won’t even be able to buy a Hinson clutch with it, let alone anything else.
So is it worth buying? Motocross motorcycles are inherently a hot commodity - serious guys buy them new, invest some more money in them, and soon sell them to less serious guys. By the way, many competitions simply don't allow you to ride anything older than five years, and even the best models of all time, like the great 2008 Honda CRF450, quickly become forgotten and obsolete.
But the planned obsolescence that economists talk about so much is not about the Yamaha YZ250. She was just as good 16 years ago and still is. This model is currently ridden by more Crossmen than any other, and to be honest, as soon as Yamaha makes even one major modification to this model, the magic will be destroyed.
Buying a new Yamaha YZ250 2022 is like buying an old Java in a factory frame: yes, it is not a rival to the MT-09, but it is unlikely that the MT-09 will give so many emotions.
The good thing about the Yamaha YZ250 is that it doesn’t depreciate too much after purchase. For a two-year-old cross-country bike, there will always be a buyer who really wants to save money out of the blue.
However, allusions to Java arose for a reason: seriously speaking, the model could be updated. What exactly?
- Yamaha YZ250 power. It’s quite easy to overclock a 46-horsepower YZ250 to 49 horses: all you need to do is buy a new exhaust, a reed valve, bore the ports - this has already been done thousands of times by owners of YZ250s of previous years, turning to talented mechanics. I would like to hope that Yamaha designers will also show talent and be able to accelerate the 2022 YZ250 to at least 50 horsepower. And it’s not that she’s sluggish, it’s just that she has room to improve.
- Yamaha YZ250 rear suspension. Even a cursory glance reveals archaism in it: firstly, a small 22 mm rear axle instead of a modern 25 mm one. Second, the rear shock arm axle bolt goes through the swingarm instead of underneath it. There's nothing stopping Yamaha from using exactly the same suspension as on the YZ450F, along with the hub, 25mm axle, wheel spacers, and caliper mounts (though you'll need a 2009 swingarm to connect the YZ450F's arm to the YZ250's upper shock mounts). The new YZ450F swingarm is 4 percent less vertically stiff, 5 percent less torsionally stiff, and 8 percent less horizontally stiff, and is 340 grams lighter than the YZ250's beefy swingarm. The YZ450F rear hub is another 270 grams lighter than the stock YZ250 - a nice weight saving.
- Yamaha YZ250 inertia. Many YZ250 riders add flywheel weights to widen the torque curve, improve grip, and add some high-rpm thrust after peak. Many, including the factory team riders! And Yamaha should listen to their experience and simply make the crankshaft or the stock flywheel heavier.
- Yamaha YZ250 star. It's time to stock the YZ250 with a 51-tooth sprocket. Literally everyone installs it, and by the way, Yamaha has already replaced the chainring on the 2022 YZ450F at the request of the owners. So, after 16 years, we might as well listen to the YZ250 owners.
- Yamaha YZ250 transmission. It has a large gap between second and third gears, which has long been asked to be closed by bringing them closer together. Yamaha designers have long argued that this is impossible, and then they made a cross-country model, the YZ250X, the transmission of which had identical first and second gears to the YZ250, and the third was lower than on it - that is, closer to the second. Hence the conclusion is that the YZ250 can be equipped with such a gearbox, but for some reason they don’t want to.
- Yamaha YZ250 shock absorbers. The YZ250 should be equipped with the latest versions of the fork and shock absorber found on the YZ250F and YZ450F. It’s even easier to do this if you convert the YZ250 to a modern chassis in general, axle, swingarm, and so on. Every year Yamaha updates the components on their four-stroke motocross models, and for some reason they don't use them on the YZ250 two-stroke.
Distinctive features of the Fazer 250
Yamaha Fazer 250 is a road motorcycle of the same brand, YBR 250, known since 2005, which has undergone restyling. The differences are mainly cosmetic in nature and relate to optical elements and plastic parts. The models are so close to each other that they often appear on the market under the same name, so it is not always possible to accurately determine their actual model range.
The bike seems unassuming at first. But upon closer examination of the Yamaha Fazer, the following design features can be identified:
- rounded plastic elements in the area of the cylinder and rear of the motorcycle;
- tapered waist ergonomic driver's seat;
- a convex headlight that blends harmoniously into the dashboard;
- the “can” of the exhaust system hung with overlays on the right side of the motorcycle;
- transparent triangle-shaped brake light.
Characterized by the following features:
- The 2-valve engine reaches speeds of up to 140 km/h;
- equipped with a forged piston, a cylinder with a low-friction coating, 1 camshaft and 2 valves;
- the cylinder is cooled due to air flows generated during movement, and the oil is also cooled using a small radiator;
- the 8000 rpm engine is designed to produce 21 horsepower - its main advantage is “indestructibility” even under extremely difficult operating conditions and for the toughest drivers;
- the tank is designed for 19 liters;
- service interval - 5000 km;
- lightweight but durable aluminum alloy wheels improve handling;
- the ground clearance of the Fazer 250 allows you to move on various surfaces;
- dynamic appearance;
- fuel consumption – 3l/100 km.
The Yamaha Fazer 250 is suitable for bikers with an A1 category license. It can also satisfy the needs of movement in the city or provide off-road capability. Dealers offer Yamaha motorcycles at affordable prices.
History of the Yamaha YZ250
It all started with the 2006 model year, when Kayaba SSS suspensions appeared and brought the Yamaha YZ250 to the forefront of the two-stroke army. A year earlier, Yamaha introduced a new aluminum frame, and the YZ250 engine was developed in 2003. In general, the chronology of the YZ250 is as follows:
- 2005. Instead of the previous steel frame, an aluminum frame of an unusual design was introduced, weighing almost 2 kilograms less than the steel one. Overall, the 2005 YZ250 was 3.4 kilograms lighter than the 2004 version. Additionally, the 2005 YZ250 featured a Honda-style front brake line and was equipped with Renthal 22mm aluminum handlebars.
- 2006. New SSS suspension, Ti rear spring, new rear caliper, on-the-fly clutch adjustment, yokes spaced 2mm further apart. But the main thing is Kayaba SSS suspensions.
- 2007. The main thing is the change to the N3EW carburetor needle, which most serious racers used back in 2006. It significantly improved the response at low and mid-range speeds. Back in the 2007 model year, the 22nd steering wheel was replaced with a 28mm Renthal Fatbar.
- 2008. Almost nothing interesting. The front caliper was made smaller, petal discs were installed, and the crossbars were made with removable steering spacers.
- 2009. Removed the large steel brake line mount and replaced it with a small, lightweight aluminum one.
- 2010. New bright graphics.
- 2011. The new muffler is 75mm longer, the compression ratio is reduced from 10.9:1 to 10.6:1 by increasing the volume of the combustion chamber by 0.5cc (this was done to be able to refuel with lower octane fuel). Plus - neutral sensor, used to change the ignition map when operating without load (to meet the requirements of econorms regarding exhaust volume).
- 2012. New bright graphics.
- 2013. The blue rear fender was replaced with white.
- 2014. The white rear fender has been replaced with a blue one.
- 2015. New plastic design in the spirit of the four-stroke YZ-F, except for the gas tank and front plate.
- 2016. Silver rims replaced with black ones.
- 2017. The front brake disc has been increased - from 250 to 270mm.
- 2018. Instead of black, there are now blue rims. And, as with every new model year since 2006, there are flashy new graphics.
- 2019. New bright graphics.
- 2020. New bright graphics.
- 2021. The number plates went from white to blue, and the fork guards went from white to black. And new bright graphics.
Technical characteristics of the Fazer 250 model
Good speed performance is achieved thanks to a four-stroke engine with air cooling and an overhead camshaft. The cylinders are equipped with 2 valves that regulate the fuel supply. The Yamaha Fazer road motorcycle has the following technical data:
- working volume - 249 cubic meters. cm;
- compression ratio - 9.8:1;
- maximum power - 21 hp. With.;
- lubrication system - wet sump;
- clutch - disc, in an oil bath;
- ignition - capacitor, CDI;
- Gearbox - five-speed, constant mesh;
- curb weight - 154 kg;
- length - 2.06 m;
- front brake - hydraulic, single disc;
- rear brake - drum;
- front suspension - telescopic fork;
- rear suspension - pendulum, shock absorber;
- dimensions - 2065x745x1065 mm (LxWxH);
- seat height - 805 mm;
- frame is standard closed duplex.
Cons of the Yamaha YZ250
- Yamaha YZ250 chassis. Or rather, its handling is average - nothing particularly good or bad in corners. Without shortcomings and without advantages, which means we write them as cons.
- Yamaha YZ250 engine. It has good traction characteristics, but the Austrian competitor will tear it apart at the start, on the climb or in the sand. Yes, the aftermarket allows you to add more power to the YZ250, but it quickly blurs the $900 line between Yamaha and KTM.
- Transfers. Switching from second to third always occurs with a jerk, but fortunately, in third the engine delivers at any speed, if they are high enough. Ideally, the third would be closer to the second, as on the cross-country YZ250X, but until Yamaha makes a new cross box, all that remains is to add one tooth to the rear sprocket
- Clutch. Many people prefer to install stiffer springs in the YZ250 clutch or alternate the standard springs with them.
First in bike production
Yamaha is a world-famous Japanese brand that produces motorcycles, snowmobiles, boats, and speedboats. Initially, they were engaged in the manufacture of musical instruments, then components for aircraft. But after the Second World War, the need for small-sized vehicles with a motor began to increase. It was decided to form a subsidiary, which was refocused on these products. He gained popularity due to the quality of his technology. Now the concern is one of the leaders in production in this area.
Yamaha-Ostrovtsy, the official dealer of the company, presents a wide range of this brand. Everyone will find a machine to their liking: street fighters, cruisers, tourers, road bikes, sport bikes, motocross bikes, enduro bikes.
Let's focus on two types from the whole variety: Yamaha YBR 125, Yamaha Fazer 250. Each of them has a lot of advantages and has its own buyer.
Pros of the Yamaha YZ250
- Traction characteristics. Of course, it would be nice to add traction at medium speeds, and everywhere else too. But now she is a classic cross-country horse, and that’s good.
- Pendants. The Kayaba SSS fork and shock are race-ready straight from stock.
- Yamaha YZ250 Service. You don't need to be a mechanical genius to keep your YZ250 in good mechanical condition. Even a beginner can replace the CPG, and this makes the motorcycle more accessible, because many of the jobs can be done independently.
- Reliability of Yamaha YZ250. There is simply nothing to break in it - timely completion of routine maintenance allows the YZ250 to always remain in service.
Who are the models for?
Two versions of the bike are equally in demand by the buyer.
Motorcycles look stylish and emphasize the status of the owner. If you are planning to learn the technical skills of driving a two-wheeler, then these will fit the bill. The combination of minimalism in design with a powerful engine will allow you to develop your own driving style and decide on the priorities of further acquisitions.
- Maneuverability and instant response to driver actions on the road are the main characteristic features of these bikes.
