Awesome.
http://www.cyclenews.com/431/25182/R...ew-WR250F.aspx Btw, the WR is only 9 pounds heavier(per the Yamaha page) so its the same bike with a headlight, wiring and more restrictive muffler?

Well that's more like it! Must be a misprint on the Yamaha site, somebody fat-fingered and put 295lbs for the WRF (which is actually what the nothing-in-common WRR weighs.) I wonder if the suspension travel numbers are also a misprint then? 12.2"F/ 12.5" R on the FX and 10.6" F/R on the WR... in fact, it might be possible that they mixed up ALL the specs of the WRF with the WRR, they show the same compression ratio, ground clearance, and wheelbase too. Either way, both the WRF and the YZFX look like a great step in the right direction.

Yamaha has always been willing to step out, did it back in 91 with the YZ250WR. Same concept here, just make the changes that are needed, nothing else. Glad to see some Japanese company do something for the off road world, good for them. And great timing after Martin and Webb made those 250F's look so good all summer long on the MX track. BTW Jason Raines mostly rides a 2 stroke YZ250 set up for off road so i'm sure he'd like to see that also, at least you know he has let them know about it.

Too bad this same treatment is not applied to the yz250 2t platform....

Agree re the 2T. WR250F will be fully road legal with ADR, but would want to clarify the suspension etc first. The headlights bloody ugly too.

Most likely a great bike with a 300 kit and an auto clutch. Gobs of aftermarket parts and pipe choices too.

I wouldn't go more than 270cc for these motors - and for me - I would leave it stock.... The husky 310 motor - that gasgas now has rights to make - adds the extra displacement adding stroke (over the 250). This is the "right" way to do it. Add torque that makes the power more usable and a helluva lot funner to ride. For me - for what I like - the upcoming gasgas 310 motor platform more fits the bill for fast and fun trail riding. It will have more torque and typically has a tighter steering geometry than a yamaha... What's the latest on the new husky engined gasgas 4 strokes? jeff
