Dear Yamaha

I wish I didn't have to switch ABS off every time I start the bike.

It’s called a KTM 500. 
We’ve been waiting to the elusive WRR450 for over a decade.

They discontinued the WRR for a reason and I don’t think it was emissions. It was an awesome bike in 2008 when it was released and didn’t change yet the euro brands make new awesome stuff every couple of years

I’ve never been brand loyal. 
I buy what I think fits my needs best. 
For off road oriented bikes the euro brands are hard to beat. 
Still one of my favorites

Please. PLEASE Yamaha, this right here. 

Australia already has the WR450r. Throw your emission craps own for us to take it off and send it to the States. I'd buy that bike in a  heart beat. The WR250r is the perfect BDR bike, except for that 250 just gets tired doing pavement over 65mpgh and trying to over take a vehicle, especially up a hill. Make it the same bullet proof motor with a bit more HP and I'd give you my VISA.

This. Please.  Or take the 321cc twin from the MT-03 and make a Tenere 300.

Australia already has the WR450r.  WR450F. Throw your emission craps own for us to take it off and send it to the States. I'd buy that bike in a  heart beat. The WR250r is the perfect BDR bike, except for that 250 just gets tired doing pavement over 65mpgh and trying to over take a vehicle, especially up a hill.

We don't have the WR450R. It is a WR450F which comes with just enough to make it road registerable in Australia.

All National Parks and State Forests require registration as a component is 3rd party injury insurance. 

The 450F has a rebuild life of around 10000km whereas to WR250R has a rebuild of around 50000km.

The F doesn't have a cush drive or cush clutch so on bitumen it tends to hammer the gearbox a bit too much.

Gear ratios aren't conducive of long distance riding either.

 

I owned the last 400F and 2 x 450Fs as well as a 250R. The 250R was much more comfortable on longer runs.

Weird. I've watched review on Youtube about the WR450R in Australia. I guess mistaken. 

 

Well then, Yamaha.....please start from scratch.

How hard would it be to override the side stand switch when ABS is turned off?
