Yamaha YZ250FX keeps an estimated 65% of its value after 5 years — #595 of 1052 powersports vehicles VINdown tracks. See the full depreciation curve.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Yamaha YZ250FX retains an estimated 65% of its value after five years, ranking #595 of 1052 powersports vehicles we track. That is roughly in line with the 63% five-year average for Dirt in its class.
Most of the loss lands early: the Yamaha YZ250FX sheds about 5% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $8,452 it falls to around $5,905 by year five — a five-year loss near $2,547, about $1.40 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Yamaha YZ250FX bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
