Yamaha WR250F 2017

Yamaha WR250F 2017

For some testers in our 1000PS Offroad Group, the Yamaha WR 250 F is the number 1 in the 250 class. Its chassis impresses with great responsiveness and lots of reserves, resulting in very stable handling. The 4-stroke single-cylinder is characterised by its smooth engine running and at the same time is very rev-happy.

The Kawasaki Z 650 is the tip of the middle class for small male and female riders. On its compact dimensions, you probably won't feel comfortable as a giant. Heart-warming feelings, however, come from the engine, which delights with a very smooth pull. On the chassis side, a Kawasaki-typical tight set-up was chosen, which finds a great compromise in everyday use. The negative display is very easy to read and is reminiscent of its predecessor, the ER-6n - very nice!
