New Yamaha
Our Yamaha Rep was in the shop yesterday and he told us that they will have a competitive off road bike this year! It will be unveiled at the dealer meeting on Oct 14th. That is all he said.

He didn't say. Just that it will be a competitive off road bike that we should try and get a top racer on one.

It would be nice if it was a YZX 300......YZ250 w/ a 300 Athena topend, SSS forks, WR transmission, 18 inch rear wheel, skid plate, OEM Spark arrestor, at least a 2.5 + gallon tank! With updated 2015 plastic kit!

I have heard the rumors also, its a 4 stroke. I'm guessing sort of a YZ250F based bike but not a heavy like the WR's. Suppose to be an XC set up.

I've never understood why the Japanese manufacturers have completely given up on the competition off-road bike segment. KTM has filled the vacuum, and it's opened the door for the smaller European brands. Is the market so small that the Japanese manufacturers just can't be bothered? |

I think Jakobi hit the nail on the head. Having a registered bike is a big deal anymore, appears to be world wide.

My WRF 250 had a plate was nice but the Gasgas bikes are sooo much nicer . They would have to make some big changes to get me back . Plates can be had if you want one in the USA.
