2021 WR450F VS WR250F: WHICH IS FASTER?

5 years ago | Words: Andy Wigan | Photos: Motology Films

Motology Films’ Adam Riemann lets the stopwatch decide which is the superior machine – the 2021-model WR250F or WR450F – when it comes to pushing the limits in the bush.

As Riemann points out before putting the two capacities back-to-back, “With both bikes’ chassis being identical, a comparison between the two around the same test track will really isolate not only the horsepower differential, but also the effect that that power has over the chassis.”

The story the stopwatch tells is fascinating. As is Riemann’s feedback about each bike relative strengths and weaknesses.
