From what I have read there is very little difference between the 2020 and 2021

Blue on the green is one of my favorites videos on KZfaq 👍🏽

Yei!! Yamahaaaaaaa!

Sadly I think the USofA is either hardcore MX, or overloaded GS...

Don’t wait too long they’re almost sold out where i live! Just bought the 250 and I’ll get it in may

can you buy me one too

is the bike worth it? does it pull like a mx bike? im debating between a kx250f or a wr250f...which one would you prefer?

I have a 19 450fx as well. I just put the bars all the way forward and s stiffer spring for my weight in the rear and never looked back. Im 6 foot 2

with these new enduro bikes you're not giving up anything the only difference is suspension tuning and like 8 lbs of weight which just comes from the kick stand, headlight and extra wiring, most mx bikes now have elec. start so it's not like the battery weight is even a thing anymore cause they all have a battery

I have a modded 2015 that I ride mostly at the track lately. I’m on the standard map, 51T rear sprocket, with Dunlop MX53’s since it’s hard pack where I ride. Just had the suspension set up for me and it made a big difference, but I do wish I had a YZ, or at least the suspension. My bike is plenty fast but I always wondered what that YZ suspension would be like. I’ve ditched the heavy duty hand guards, have the lithium battery, full FMF exhaust, and I run half a gallon less gas (1.6 gal like a YZ). That has saved some weight, but I’m still going to replace the heavy duty skid plate I have now with a plastic Cycra, and the headlight with a number plate. That’ll put me in YZ250FX weight range, decent for MX, but it’s still not 232 lbs.

He loves in WA because all his bikes come from Bunbury

15;59 west aus

had a 12 the 16 heaps better so much better and competitive in the tight singy stuff , 19 even better again !

I'd like to know that too. Love 450'S but they need to handle slow hard and technical too.

Yeah it is 2021..I can’t believe it..I purchased a after market hydraulic unit a few years back so transfer it to my Yamahas..

Saving it as a selling point for later models

@@addisonburn8508 yeah I agree with you 100%. Still a cable isn't a deal breaker. The Yamaha has a slick adjuster that takes all of 1 second to do and take some free play out.

yes they do flame out .. lots of compression and it doesn't like the low revs

I dont think the wr 250 or yz250fx flame out much at all. If you upload a keefer map its hard to stall and fkrst gear chugs by itself

Yeh maybe not the 250 but my 450 did

@@apexpredator1192 i own a 2019 yz450fx. Install the magic map. Doesnt flame put ad easy. And im able to ridr technical with it up here in the pacific north west

Sometimes they dont likr to start right away when hot. But trail riding youll get tired before you run out of fuel. Your usually low in the revs anyways. Ill ride ususlly 4 hoirs and burn half a tank riding technical single travk with my 2019 yz450fx

@@jonathoncatterson8901 yeah 90klm 450 on the gas no worrys slicing gears

Anything keefer map is best in my opinion. Less flsme outs and smoother power

He will not answer, Why because this is NOT a true review. Dont get me wrong im only yamaha but come on ARiemann1.

No, it's not a paid review. Ride the bike, then watch the review again. You can never please everyone or tell them what they want to hear.

Thanks mate, your vids are the best out there and no disrespect intended by asking the question but you can understand after so many other channels are getting kickbacks for positive reviews that aren't disclosed to viewers. Your review was so positive that it made me wonder, but if you say it's all above board then that's good enough for me! Any chance of your thoughts on the YZ-FX range and a lap time for the WR? Please keep the great content coming!

@@MotologyFilms Thinking about this some more, could you please be a little clearer about what the commercial arrangements are for the products you are featuring? E.g. with the POD brace and Fox promos, clearly you're sponsored by them but would it hurt to say something in your intro which makes it clear? I can appreciate that you're running a business and have commercial arrangements, just be careful that you don't fall into the trap where it looks like you're trying to hide that fact to the viewers because we'll all get offended. This is one of my favourite channels and I wouldn't waste my time writing this for anyone else. Cheers!

@@Dazza_au lol

Road legal here in Australia. Sold with a race kit to de-restrict and come with unlocked ecu and WiFi unlike US model.

Don’t pick on yammahamma

I get the cable clutch but why does everyone want a 6 speed box? I find most of my riding is done in first and second. Even on the road my 2015 WR450 is fine at 100km/h

Ha, I have a 2018 with a 5 speed. Does 105mph in 5th with a tune and exhaust. Putting it in first will put it into "tractor mode" and you can creep with no clutch or throttle UP HILL. You're just going off paper values rather than physical experience.

Why have 6 gears when the bikes suspension can only handle 3 :)

I think you need to it doesn’t make a blind bit of difference in fact I think the cable is lighter than a hydraulic 😂

I was looking for that And seems like they did because at the end he use the full throttle and you can see when he removes the air filter too. Plus I didn’t see the little baffle in the pipe

They dont come as restricted in the Australian market. Always been a problem comparing the Aussie reviews vs people's experiences in Nth America

I would be interested in it.

What did you not like about the dirt bike exactly if you don't mind me asking?

Agreed!! mapping makes a big difference too!

@@johnwoolcock6121 What do you do to the mapping on these things John ?

@@mackeymichael Nothing mate, they are EFI, you just do it all via the app. (I have a 19 model so use the power tuner, not sure if the maps are the same on the 21's)

Nice comment man, im constantly looking at reviews trying to compare the two lol I havent been on a bike for years and I have also had surgery on my cervical spine im leaning towards the 250 but im not sure. I know I wouldn't be a twit on the bike and would always respect the power of the thing, on the other hand I dont want to drop 15k on a bike wishing I had got a different one. Im just scared 450 might be to much bike lol aaaahhhhh its doing my brain in lol hahaha

Depends on the riding you do. I own a 19 450fx and love it but my buddys 2020 250fx is hard to beat in the tighter trails. You dont have to be as cautious with the throttle

Mainly just trail riding mate, pines bushland etc probs a bit on the sand and bitumen on the way to my destination. I think I'll go with the 450, I think I'll respect it a lot more and the 250 I'll end up pushing it to its limits where the 450 I'll be to scared to lol but all in all I'll be just putting around with but like knowing the power is there if I need it.

Doubt you will hit the limits of the 250F if you ride tight technical trails, the 450 is a beast in the tights woods, now if you're talking open dessert riding, or open "trails" like these guys ride, and you're a bigger person, yeah, the 450 may cut it more..

Trippin bro. If you can ride the new 250f anywhere near it’s potential then you must be better than 99% of riders out the. You aint

My first Dirtbike was a WR. Over the years I realised that it’s not really a Enduro bike, just a softened Motocross Bike and heavy. I switched to Euro Bikes and never looked back to Yamaha. Nothing was better on the Yamaha is regards to Enduro. Only listening to this video makes me believe that nothing has really changed with the blue „Enduros“ (+ still cable clutch, which was already out of fashion in 2001 when I bought my WR)

@@marunzel so true mate my first bike was also a 2013 wr450. I thought it was great at the time but now on a 2020 450exc and it is the best damn all rounder

@@marunzel Yes my 2020 WR 250 is very comfortable on the MX track and aggressive to ride in tight 1st gear single track.

Extreme and 4T should not be used in the same sentence, same as extreme and quality suspension like the WR should not be used. easy to have soft bouncy wallowing at speed suspension for extreme Enduro . Stock wp KYB conversion kits for wp if you want a Aussie Enduro weapon like these bikes bog stock. They sell them kits like hot cakes.

@@motozz8258 whatever I know and have ridden with plenty of 2t die-hard guys like you. You will be surprised what a new bike will do

Who let this guy in??? ^^^^

@@jonathondavis170 relax mate they are both great bikes I just prefer the KTM to the yami

Why

@@rockynandorf440 EURO5 + Yamaha doesn't want to work

rego makes them more versatile and why they sell more, But each has it's own place
