Great review Andy, can't wait to have a ride on one.

very good first impression!!! i was first onboard in 03 when the wrf 450 came out,(and what a beast at the time!!)went to a wrf250 in 07(loved that one!!),got tired of waiting for the new model in 13,went euro and loving it ,several bikes later.... just an older average punter who has to pay for a ride...have a 300cc 2t for in the bush....have a 500 4t for adventure riding (nz). slapping a 17ltr tank and having a 6 speed makes running a harder edged enduro bike so much more doable for me,(still get all goey over my xr600rs back in the day...)

Fuel tank is far too small for an enduro bike, still no hyd clutch, open end hand guards, i can see $2k I'd need to spend straight up getting this bike set up for a serious day riding. I was really hoping to stick with yamaha but there are much better options coming out of Europe.
@kx5016 ай бұрын
These bikes are having airbox sealing problems and the belleville in the clutch is too weak, Yamaha need to address and recall these issues before people go and pay 18k for them. The airbox and clutch belleville share the exact one with the YZ 450 23-24 research these issues.

I’ve got the 2023 Wr 250f last summer 11:12 that exhaust has got a gytr race baffle that opens the thing up big time how ever I couldn’t find one so I made one . The 250 has got 6 gears sure you need use a lot more throttle but I think it sounds awesome with the racing baffle in the exhaust being able to switch maps on the fly is awesome I’ve got to learn how to use it . It’s not hard but it dose take a little while to find the settings you want

Cool review m8 as u said all changes just work well together makes it fantastic bike glad I update to one
@anthonygraham23346 ай бұрын
Considering you had limited testing, that’s a fair review. If only they would put a 6th gear and a hydraulic clutch in it, I would update from my 21 model
@CliffysEdits1816 ай бұрын
The new YZ450’s have a hydraulic clutch option, it might work with the WR450F being they’re almost the same platform.

No doubt any of the 450's will work well at speed, the question is will they cross over enough into the 300 2t to make them an all day tight 1st and 2nd and sometimes 3rd gear trail machine? Throw in the Sherco 300 with its revisions too please.

@@robertjolliffe4164. I only ride registered enduro bikes ( I will only trailer to a location if absolutely necessary), sometimes I need to do a quick highway stint to link trails ( I am blessed to live where we have an abundance of state forestry). With highway speed limits of 100 & 110 kmh 6th gear will be used.
