2025 Yamaha YZ250
Fifth Dragon Throwback
Yamaha of Troy was a powerhouse team in the early 2000s and had some of the best-looking/running YZ250s in the pro paddock. In order to bring some of that nostalgia back and maybe inject some fun into his riding, my buddy Eddie Laret asked if he could build up a 2025 YZ250 to ride. I am not one for two-strokes, but I do like when people get fired up to ride dirt bikes, so this build was meant to reignite the flame. Let’s hope this Yamaha of Troy “Fifth Dragon” smoker could breathe some fire back into my friend’s riding.
