Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha WR450F 2025

Unfortunately, our editors did not test this model.

Yamaha WR450F 2012

The new WR 450F is a genuine racing enduro that is technically and innovatively at the forefront. A Kayaba chassis that is unparalleled in series production, top brakes. A slightly larger tag would be fine and a little more "carburettor feeling" in the rev range. But the best thing is the possibilities offered by the uncomplicated Powertuner.

central weight distribution
