Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha YZ450F 2016

The engine of the YZ450F is powerful and somewhat aggressive, but can be optimised via mappings. What is very noticeable about the YZ450F is the strong intake noise from the engine, but you quickly get used to it. The handling is also very good and the gears are easy to shift. Unlike the 250, the YZ450F GYTR is a little lighter and nicer to ride than the standard 450. The chassis responds well, works very well and is very easy to handle. This makes it suitable for the hobby rider.

Powerful engine

adjustable mappings

solid chassis

good handling

pleasant gearshifting

Engine a little aggressive in the lower range

Yamaha YZ250F 2016

The engine of the Yamaha YZ250F could have a little more power in the lower range, but becomes very powerful from the middle to the upper range. When it comes to the chassis, "the blues" have remained true to the old system, but this is not a disadvantage. The modified YZ250F GYTR has noticeably more compression when starting and is a little more difficult to get going. But when you ride it in the upper range, it really gets going - making the GYTR version ideal for the ambitious racer.

Plenty of power from the middle

well-balanced chassis

YZ250F GYTR perfect for ambitious hobby athletes.

Engine could be more powerful in the lower rev range

unspectacular appearance
