i owned a 09 yz250 and to be honest i cant understand why someone would put butt ugly, sharp, straight looking yzf plastics on it. i heaps prefer the lines of the older models, the new plastic is just awful. Hope yamaha dont change there two stroke look, the new is to yuppie, and it would be the the first thing i would change if they did come out with them. the yzf looks like a glorified thumpster, like some imitation bike. each to his own i suppose, just my 2c.
