Upcoming Bike 2011-12

Yamaha WR250F off-road bike

  WR250F graphic on the rear fender, but then went straight to the backward-facing cylinder with its rear-exiting exhaust (a la the YZ450F motocross bike). The motorcycle in the lead image definitely has WR rolling gear with its 18-inch rear wheel; it also has a kickstand, odometer cable, headlight and taillight, and a larger fuel tank, all items normally found on a WR off-road model.
 

Comparing photos of the 2011 YZ450F and WR250F with this image makes it appear that none of the motorcycles share much in common in terms of bodywork other than the front and rear fenders. Radiator shrouds are similar but the larger fuel cell is clearly unique.



This supposed 2012 WR250F image could very well be a fake, but if it isn’t, this would big and exciting news in the off-road and enduro world. Yamaha naturally would not comment on whether the 2012 WR250F would have any of these design features but did say the image looked a lot like a “photochopped” YZ450F. Here’s to hoping it’s real, and let the rumor-mill begin!
