View photos and images of the Yamaha YZ250F dirt bike as Motorcycle USA rides and races it in our ongoing long-term evaluation review. Find out more in the 2011 Yamaha YZ250F Long Term Test 1.

The 2011 Yamaha YZ250F ergonomics are well thought out and can accommodate a wide range of riders.

The ’11 YZ250F is sensitive to body position and requires the rider to have his weight as far forward as possible for optimum turning.

The Yamaha’s mild powerband, excellent chassis and Bridgestone rear tire assist it in hooking up out of corners.

Keep your weight forward and the YZ250F turns great. Otherwise if you’re lazy and keep your weight in the middle of the seat you’ll be fighting it during turn-in.

Despite being under sprung for faster and/or heavier riders the YZ250F chassis just plain works.

Although the front brake isn’t the strongest stability under braking is excellent due in part to the well-sorted chassis and ergonomics which help get your weight toward the rear of the bike.
