2021 YAMAHA WR450F<br />

2003<br />

2007<br />

2012<br />

2016<br />

as offering 48hp while weighing 114kg<br />

(dry). Come the 2007 model of WR450F<br />

power had increased to 58hp and weight<br />

was down to 112.5kg. This 2021 WR450F<br />

has no claimed horsepower but is not likely<br />

to be too far off the 57hp the current YZ-F<br />

has been tested at, and with a full fuel tank<br />

it weighs a claimed 119kg, so about 111kg<br />

dry. As you can see there’s something<br />

of a plateau there in terms of outright<br />

performance and mass, yet for sure the<br />

latest models have felt considerably easier<br />

to pilot and less bulky.<br />
