the 2008 yzf is already being called great, go with it high compression even better suspension and lighter! also check out the new wr's contrary to what tig said, the wr is a bike that is right up on the technological edge.

or look at the even better rmz's

wr250f95 · 08-17-2007, 09:32 PM

that is your opinion tig, from what i read the yzf is pretty hard to beat.

Got to keep my mod unbiased eh?

ya, yzf's are pretty amazing, at least the '08 250f's. i have always like the yz450f's though. i was pretty impressed that yamaha's 250f has the same compression ratio stock as my aftermarket high compression piston.

idk know if yamaha knew something was up with the other manufacteres and released there bike early to get more sales or what though.
however they did say that this was probaly the last year the engine block would remain the same as an 01 so.
