There should be more people riding bikes like the 2009 Yamaha WR450F. The more time spent on production enduros like this, the more you realize that they suit a wide variety of different riders. Some market offerings are aimed at racing and others trail riding, and the Yamaha falls more towards the latter. Most people ride, not race, so that’s a good thing. We’ve seen what can be done with the WR lineup as a race bike and the results can be impressive, but our months of testing reveal that the big WR is a machine capable of taking everyday riders almost anywhere.

2009 Yamaha WR450F
Precise handling has become one of the WR450’s greatest strengths as a big-bore enduro. Even though it has considerable girth, the front-end bite is solid and it allows the Yammie to carry better speed through tight sections with greater rider confidence. Some of our friends ride only motocross bikes in the woods, and we let them turn a few miles on the Yamaha just for grins, and that’s exactly what they came away with, along with a new respect for the capabilities of Yamaha’s flagship off-roader.
