2009 Yamaha YZ125

Designing a bike is never easy, but it seems that Yamaha has got the perfect recipe as it pulls it through, managing to release better performing competition bikes with each year that passes. For 2009, the YZ125 doesn’t miss its revision and further perfects the already great features such as the engine and chassis. Even though not the most important model year because the bike was also improved for 2008, it does catch our attention once again, and that is never a bad thing.

Yamaha WR250R

2009 Yamaha WR250R

Not quite your everyday enduro motorcycle and neither a dirt bike, the WR250R is Yamaha’s most versatile two-wheeled machinery, one that can take you off-road and on pavement with great ease thanks to a highly evolved and easily adaptive chassis and a potent quarter-liter engine. And the best thing about it is that it can actually go on public roads so it qualifies as a commuter too.
