2021 Yamaha YZ250F Review First Ride
Engine, suspension, and chassis updates yield improvements for bLU cRU.Although the Perris, California facility doesn’t offer the same type of elevation changes or as large of acceleration and braking bumps as Glen Helen, we still got a solid idea of how bLU cRU’s updated 250 four-stroke motocross bike performs in comparison to last year. In fact, Yamaha even brought out a 2020 model for us to do a direct comparison with. While the prior year YZ250F was certainly an outstanding machine, the 2021 bike is noticeably better. Yamaha has updated its massively popular MT - 09 triple with modern electronic aids, a refined throttle, and an aggressive new look . So the 2021 MT - 09 is much more than an update, even if it’s just slightly less than an absolutely complete redesign. Its three-cylinder engine is obviously based on the original 847cc powerplant, but has more new parts than old. Yamaha , as all other manufacturers, has to meet stringent Euro 5 emission rules with the new bike, even though they want to increase performance.
The 2021 Yamaha MT - 09 has been announced with updated styling and the same Euro5, 889cc engine as the bike that was unveiled last week. That means just under 118bhp, and more peak torque at a handier 1 ,500rpm lower than before. The new model obviously gains the same styling update as the base model MT - 09 , and as with the previous SP , it also gets its very own R 1 M-alike paint job to For 2021 , Yamaha has stepped up the game, giving the SP a host of superbike-derived tech that’s related to the electronics of the R 1 M. 2021 Yamaha MT - 09 SP video specs, features, and details.
The last major piece of the Yamaha MT-09 SP puzzle is a cruise control system that can be activated in fourth, fifth, or sixth gears at speeds above 31 mph. The feature isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when you think of hyper nakeds, but it promises to make the sportiest MT-09 that much more useful as a daily mount. Canceling the cruise function is as easy as tapping the brake, pulling in the clutch, or using the throttle. To sweeten the deal even further for longer cruises, Yamaha threw a new triple-stitched saddle at the SP.

In case you missed it our coverage of the redesigned 2021 Yamaha MT-09 in detail last month, suffice to say the folks in Hamamatsu left no stone unturned. Not only did the engine get another 47cc of displacement, it got lighter thanks to redesigned crankcases, pistons, and cams. The fuel-injection system and transmission also got updates.

The die-cast aluminum Deltabox frame is also a complete redesign from the earlier bikes, and helps make the whole package tighter and lighter.

2021 Yamaha Tracer 7 GT Announced, Not Coming to USA .
Another machine we’d like to see make its debut in the USThe 7 GT is powered by the same crossplane twin that’s found in the MT-07, which has already proven itself to be a fun and capable powerplant. Plopping that mill into an upright touring motorcycle would put a lot of midsize, legacy touring rides currently available in the US, like the Versys 650 or V-Strom 650, on high alert. Especially if the bike stayed at or below $8,500.
