You've seen the first looks, you've read the first tests, and you've been on the edge of your seat, waiting to find out which bike will win Dirt Rider's 250cc four-stroke shootout! Will it be the Honda CRF250R, the Kawasaki KX250F, it's fraternal twin the Suzuki RM-Z250, or the Yamaha YZ250F? The wait is almost over, as our January issue is only weeks away. We're not giving up any info just yet, but we are willing to share some photos and a little preview of what's to come.
Our shootout this year is more in-depth than ever. With four such highly competetive machines, we were forced to come up with new, creative tests to find which bike truly stood out. You'll also find all the usual good stuff you've come to expect from Dirt Rider: dyno charts, parts lists, test settings and pages of detailed reports to help you make that informed decision.
Check back on Dirtrider.com when the January issue hits stands to see additional photos, graphs, numbers and charts that wouldn't fit in the magazine.
