I saw that pic earlier today and thought it looked awfully big for a 250F. The header pipe even looks big for a 250 or 300.

The clutch is way bigger than the 250's.

May look bigger,, but if you compare the pic to his bike in the photo gallery the engine looks the same,, shape of the head matches yamaha wr250.. does not match GG 450 at all,, not even close.. does appear to have a YZ kicker on it.. looks very close,, no where big enough to be a 450.. unless its a yamaha 450? but then the head would look small..

That's the discussion. The WR450 motor that's supposed to be in the 2012 GasGas 450.

Sure is a Yamaha. Looks to be more the size of the 450 than the 250. The pics on gasgas website of the 250F SD shows it uses the GG kick starter still and the clutch cases and cyl do look to be a little smaller.

The frame cradle looks like the 250F/125, it has that upward bend of the lower rails. The larger bikes don't look like that. Has a 450 with a Yamaha motor ever been built yet? I would think they would use the new frame style as a basis for the bike, but who knows anything is possible.
