Project Bike Update: 2019 Yamaha WR450F

7 years ago

After putting Yamaha’s 2019 WR450F through its paces for the past three weeks, here’s Geoff Ballard’s detailed feedback about the bike so far… Just remember, he’s not your average test rider who loves his toys blinged up and pretty; he’ll ride the thing standard until the wheels fall off. Then he might think about rotating the tyres because “there’s still half a tyre left”.
