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
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...
Lmao you think 15k dirt bike is for a rich man? This is one of the cheapest hobbies you could have, try gettimg into modifed cars, 4wding and overlanding, boating, aviation, home cinema, yeah that 15k dirt bike with 1k of safety gear really brakes the bank hey
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
@@vaughanscott7308 hi scott It depends. 2T moden enduro bikes will go crazy hard places with the right rider, look at hard enduro vids. 4T modern enduro bikes are better at more open trail riding. Although a 6speed wide ratio trans is required in my opinion. Be careful not to buy a MX bike (read WR) in sheeps clothing. Also understand 2T modern enduro bike is not a good long range trail bike. If you have a friend/s who is already riding, buy something similar to their bike because riding by yourself is rubbish and with friends is where the fun is.
@@adventureallanglesaus6826 it's meant to be an Enduro bike not an MX bike thats the whole point. Yamaha doesn't know how to make an enduro bike. If they did there would be a sea of blue at Erzberg. An old air cooled shit box ttr250 would be better in hard enduro.

I just got a 2012 wr after 15yrs out of the sport. It's the fastest bike I've ever been on.

Great review! This bike is high on my list right now.
I have a 2019 WRF450 AND a 2021 YZ 450 Monster edition. The WRF is a much better bike on trails and theres no difference in power or speed.
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.
For a good reason.
@@chillon2922X And what, pray tell, would that be?
Cheers for the review 👍🍻
Those trails are like super highways. Where are the 18 wheelers? Enduro trails needed...
Waiting for mine to get delivered
Who is this bike for? Why would you buy it over a 300exc for example?
It's better
like petrol autonomy, how many km is it?

2021 and Yamaha is still using 5 gears gearbox what an inovation.
Don’t fix it if it ain’t broke lol
Why would a 6 speed gearbox be better? Can anyone explain? For me its not about the gears, its about the ratio.
Is it road legal in nsw
yes, its also LAMS approved so L and P platers can ride it
15,000 dollars? That doesn’t sound right. More like 10k.
Sorry. Just realized you’re Australian. My bad 🤦🏼♂️
It’s an enduro bike not a mx bike
Yz motor, yz frame, yz forks. Sounds like a mx bike with indicators
DORK
Rich mans hobby!!!
Hardly. Compared to boating, 4wds, overlanding/touring dirt bikes are cheap
@@CJFranciss Cheap 🤣🤣🤣🤣

It's basically a YZ with lights dummy
Hey i dont know much about trail bikes so are you saying get a 2 stroke for enduro?
