  • Belly manages to get Shane Watts to tag along and check out the 2018 WR offering from Yamaha, because when you want the best opinion on an off road machine who better to have than a world champ!

    Shane used to be my neighbor here in nc. He gave me a lot of riding tips and we rode on each other’s property. Dude is rad. Much respect!

    I had a chance to ride the WR250f platform for the first time and let me tell you...it RIPS! I rode it back to back alongside an XR250 and it was night and day. What a light, fun little ripper. Can't wait to get mine.

    Yep, I've been looking at one of these too and they're are really impressive too. Totally agree with not needing to add mods to your bike in most cases, just ride it better or go on a diet to shed some pounds

    I swapped to one of these from a 17 KTM350, the Yamaha 250 is the best bike I have ever ridden! I get an easy 100Km of single track from a tank of fuel.

      Highly recommend you get an 18 model WR250F, you won't regret it! Already covered 5000 kms on mine, hasn't missed a beat and it's the lowest maintenance bike I've ever owned.

    But it comes with an OHV title so I can’t plate it to run in open course enduros. Which is why I own a Beta that comes with an M title.

    @markmtbrider 6 років тому

    The thing is just so tall and 20 pounds heavy compared to the ktm 's , but it is thousands less and presumably, more reliable. Tough call. 350xcf or the wr. Then throw in the 2t ktm's.....

      Throttle Shane never won erzberg. To your point, why dont the best ride 350's in extreme enduro that weigh less and make more power than this 250'f? Of course the very best would have no problem being faster on this thing than 95% of the off road racers out there. They are that good.

      @@markmtbrider because those are the companies offering riders sponsorship packages in that sport. At the pro level that's all that matters, the bike doesn't because at the end of the day they all have to be set up to suit the rider. In other words, the bikes are far from stock. Using race results to pick which bike is better is probably the worst way to go about it. It works well in marketing but anyone who knows what actually goes on knows better than to do that.
