Yamaha WR250F 2015

Yamaha WR250F 2015

Yamaha skilfully brings its very courageous MX concept onto the Enduro track. Right from the start, Yamaha has focused on a real racing bike and has finally left the dual-sport genes to one side. All the add-on parts are of top quality, and the unusual bodywork at the front is pleasing after an initial period of getting used to it. The engine could do with a bit more punch in the mid-range. The chassis shines all the way. With the new WR 250F, Yamaha is once again on a par with the best on the market and can fully convince, even at the relatively high price.

Finely responsive fork

smooth clutch

stalls with difficulty

Layout needs getting used to

weak mid-range revs

intake noise a bit loud

The big 2017 upgrade has been particularly good for the small four-stroke. Because KTM has been able to further increase the power on the lively machine. Now even those riders for whom it was just a tad too weak can try it again. Of course, it has become even more manageable and all the new strengths of the 2017 models also apply to it. But with its 40 hp, it has broadened its target group more than the other 17 models.

Easy to ride - in every respect

traction and power delivery unbeatable

beginners hold the line easier with it than with the 2-strokes

in terms of weight, there is only a slight difference in handling compared to 2-strokes.

Actually a great bike for beginners, but equipped like the "big ones" it is also almost as expensive as a "big" Enduro

Lifting the front wheel over obstacles requires better riding technique than with a 350 or 450.
