2019 Yamaha WR450F - Dirt Bike Magazine

Описание: Yamaha quietly introduced the 2019 WR450F this month, and I do mean quietly. The bike is designed to make very little noise. More importantly to us, it’s a real trail bike, in stark contrast to the lightly modified motocross bikes that have become common in recent years. The line between motocross bike and off-road bike has become more and more blurry. KTM XCs, Honda RXs and Husqvarna FXs all seem to advocate the view that all an off-road bike needs is an 18-inch rear wheel and a kickstand. The WR isn’t like that. It has a completely different personality than the YZ450F motocross bike. As we tested the bike, it’s a true trail bike. It’s quiet and easy to ride. The knee jerk response most people have is to ask about “unplugging”it. It’s not necessary. The WR has plenty of power and Yamaha did a good job with the stock mapping. It isn’t one of those bikes that simply doesn’t work in clean and quiet configuration. The bike certainly isn’t fast by the standards of a 450 motocross bike, but the power ain’t bad. One interesting benefit of having a milder motor is that first gear is more practical. On the FX, the super-low first gear doesn’t work well with the aggressive motor–it’s simply too much, too quickly. The WR’s first gear is much more practical. Our only real complaint is that the WR is hard to start. The bike likes a little throttle, but not too much. There’s no kickstarter, so you have to be frugal with the electric starter. Yamaha chose to give the bike a lead-acid battery instead of a lithium. There are pluses and minuses here. It’s heavy, but it also withstands cold weather much better than lithium.
