250 cc 4-stroke, is that even possible? And then a supposedly tamed version of the competition version WR250F. But what has to be said about this new Yamaha WR250R is that the list price of €6695 and then the 2-year mobility guarantee and 4-year warranty put everything in the shade. The WR250F has proven since 2001 that it has a lot going for it.

Well-working, controllable brakes

good handling

plenty of power

optimal in nimble spots

low list price.

Chassis sags on long tables

takes getting used to

not a particularly nice sound
