2008 Yamaha WR250
2008 Yamaha WR250
Yamaha just released two new dual-purpose models for 2008, both of which stir up the current market offerings. The tuning-fork company has developed a new quarter-liter thumper that adds a much-needed boost to the small-bore dual-sport segment of motorcycling.
Yamaha has offered the XT225 and big-wheeled TW200 for years, but they hardly offer sporty performance or serious dual-sport capabilities. Now, the XT is bumped up to a 250cc and while it may still be lacking in sportiness, the all-new WR250R and WR250X look to bring some poo-eatin' grins to the table. Though they share the WR moniker with Yamaha's popular enduro models, these new machines are not as hard-core as the lovable WR250F and WR450F.
