Yamaha WR450F 2021 Review | bikesales

Yamaha’s ever-popular trail weapon adopts a firmer, sharper bent for 2021.

Yamaha’s top-selling WR450F has undergone extensive changes for 2021, adopting even more technology and tuning from its YZ450F sibling. Led by a team of riders including Kiwi legend Josh Coppins, the WR450F is now stiffer, sharper and more agile than before. You could easily turn up to an MX club day and enjoy yourself. But how does the WR450F fare in its natural environment, the Aussie bush? Sam Charlwood spent a day in the forest to find out.

Great review. COuldnt afford a new one so bought a 2012WR.. BEst thing I ever did. Cost my $5K and a grand for upgrades.. Puts such a smile on my face...

Awesome review! Would love to see you guys do a review on either the YZ125X or YZ250X! Would love to hear your thoughts on Yamaha’s enduro machine especially the 2 stroke

Great review! This bike is high on my list right now.

Quality review- thankyou. Got a DRZ400 to replace and this has given me some inspiration!

All Yamaha bikes use a cable clutch, including the $30K USD R1M.

[antoninolafauci]

like petrol autonomy, how many km is it?

[stevenburton]

Those trails are like super highways. Where are the 18 wheelers? Enduro trails needed...

[MP-cmyk]

Who is this bike for? Why would you buy it over a 300exc for example?

[chillonX]

Almost every bike with a hydraulic clutch got problems with it. Its fact. You ever heard about serious problems with a cable clutch ? And in the bush you cant find sealings, new cylinders or whatever. Not everything new is better...

15, 000 dollars? That doesn’t sound right. More like 10k.

2021 and Yamaha is still using 5 gears gearbox what an inovation.

5 speed tranny - hahahah 5mm lower bars hahahah and the best funnies, more MX flavor - what planet are you from . It's an enduro bike, its mean to win erzberg. Not dirt track on 15 foot wide fire trails . This thing would boil in 15 minutes on the side of a hill not to mention stall 107 times
