New for '22 YZ 250

Ahhh the good ole YZ 250 ...

After a long stretch of graphics updates Yamaha finally got off their asses and made some solid changes to big two strokes. Instead of rambling on about the new updates and what I think of them (like y'all give a shit) I'll drop the changes and some vids below for you to form your own opinions. 

• Improved Rider Ergonomics
  A new flatter seat and more narrow fuel tank design, along with smoothly integrated body panels and slimmer shroud width, combine to enable greater freedom of movement forward and back, allowing the rider to easily shift body weight for increased control and confidence.
• New Brake System
  An updated lightweight braking system features larger front pistons, a more rigid caliper, a redesigned 270mm front rotor with a 30% increase in pad contact area and higher friction pad material, all combining to provide exceptional braking power and feel. The redesigned rear rotor maintains the same braking power while dropping outer diameter from 245mm to 240mm, further reducing unsprung weight with no compromise on performance.
• Revised Suspension Damping
  Further improving the YZ250's already renowned suspension performance, front and rear suspension has been revised to further improve bump absorption and cornering ability. KYB® inverted front fork now includes a leaf spring in the mid-speed valve for increased performance and comfort.
• New Air Intake Design
  Updated intake design allows for a straighter, more efficient draw of air into the intake tract.
• New, Modern YZ Styling
  Aggressive, race-inspired styling—from the sharp new embedded graphics, new bodywork including front and rear fenders, radiator shrouds and number plates, to the smaller details like fork guards, rear brake disc and caliper protectors, and wide foot pegs—spotlights the YZ250's extensive two-stroke racing pedigree from every angle.
