Best Yamaha Motor Enduro Bikes

Great Bike, but still very heavy – I sold my KTM300 after six years and went over to a Four Stroke. The WR and Yamaha for that fact need no introduction and have a reputation for… Read more

amazing build quality and reliability. A trademark of Japanese companies. The 300 is a powerfull bike and very fast but its lightweight handling and low tip weight it never felt like it was a handfull in the Bush. The WR trumps the 300 for power and for a big bore four stroke revs to the moon. This thing has serious mumbo and puts it down to the ground as well, making it deceptively fast. The WR is at home on more open tracks as it has a tendency to flame out(Stall) at low speeds and you need to over the clutch to avoid this hapening when tackling technical terrain. I love the WR the build quality, the power. the looks, the brakes but it is a handfull and very heavy when compared to the 300. On paper it is only about 17kgs heavier than the 300 but it feels like 30kgs. Overall a wicked bike but Yamaha still needs to shave some weight of this beast. If i was to go again i would go the WR250 as TBH the 450 is way too much bike for all but the Experts among us.

never missed a beat. Electric start was a great feature. Servicing was easy , Yamaha quality was great. Seemed to be very economical. I cannot really fault this bike. It performed just as I expected. It did not feel large and heavy. I could easily pick it up when I fell off. I only sold it as I am now 67 years old and falling off it, hurt too much, basically I always went too fast in the wrong places, thinking I was 25 again. Always make sure you have a nice new sharp front tyre for off road stuff. Just saying....:)
