Ready to take on racing events like National Enduro, or just simply want to hit the trails with your friends? The 2020 Yamaha WR450F is a full-size enduro bike with a 450cc liquid-cooled four-stroke engine with specific fuel-injection maps optimized for enduro racing and tighter trail riding. The bilateral beam aluminum frame is built off of Yamaha’s flagship motocrosser, the YZ450F, but is endowed with features that further give it an enduro twist. These include the composite engine guard, 18-inch rear wheel, 2.2-gallon fuel tank, radiator fan, sealed O-ring chain, fuel level and engine warning lights, steel rear sprocket, and a high-mounted folding aluminum kickstand.
