Title: The 2011 YAMAHA YZ-125 "Special Edition"
Post by: maicoman009 on May 05, 2010, 10:12:49 PM: The 2011 YZ-125 on the front of this site is awesome to say the least! For a while I was a little "pissed off"at Yamaha for bringing the YZ-400f out in 1998,actually 97 when Doug Henry raced the first YZM-400 4-STROKE but even now in 2010 Yamaha is still making the 125 & 250 2-strokes which in my opinion is their saving grace.I mean after all they were the first company to start this 4-choke mess to begin with!However since they are still making the kick ass YZ-125 & YZ-250 IN 2011 KUDOS to Yamaha for not letting their GREAT running and good handling 2-strokes go the way of the other Japanese brands like Honda & Kawasaki!From what I've read some people can still buy Suzuki RM-250's in Europe but I'm not 100% sure about that?None the less Thankyou Yamaha for still making the YZ's because they are great bikes for sure!!!!!!! ;D

Let�??s not forget others are still flying the smoker flag, KTM, TM, Maico to name a few...

Where�??d you hear that? Has it been confirmed that they�??ll do another production run in 2011?
