It’s taken Yamaha a long time to create a new YZ250F after their brilliant debut back in 2001. Since then all they’ve done is to basically dress up the old girl with a large hat and hoped no one would notice. Well we did, so it makes us wonder if this all new 2014 YZ250F has just received a new hat and frock or does it come with a much-needed complete makeover?

It’s quite a glamorous life when you look at the life of a motorcycle road tester from the outside looking in, but let me give you a quick glimpse of what the 80km, four day ride was like, albeit it on (arguably) one of the most anticipated bikes of 2014. For those of you who don’t know where Tenerife is, it’s a small island off the West Coast ofAfrica. But how would you get there?

If you’ve ever seen various animals, in this case goats, frolicking around a mountain and wondered what it’s like to be one, then KTM have the answer and it’s called the Freeride. You’ve heard of it already, but now there’s a new one with a new two-stroke engine so goats and sheep beware, but not in the way you’re thinking yer pervs!
