A story from the pages of Dirt Bike Magazine turned into video form. The Yamaha YZ250 two-stroke has now been in production for over 50 years. No other motocross bike has been around longer. There’s no telling what the history of motocross would look like if not for the YZ250 and the people who built it.

The list of technology that debuted on the YZ includes reed valves, single-shock suspension and power valves. Perhaps, more than anything, the YZ250 is known for the legendary riders who used it to win. The list includes Gary Jones, Bob Hannah, Mike Bell, Ricky Johnson and Jeremy McGrath, to name a few Americans. In Europe, Hakan Andersson and Neil Hudson and Americans Danny LaPorte and Donny Schmit gave the YZ its championships.
