I've got to say I'm a total convert. 140kg and 45bhp it a real hoot! Can't wait to get it on track
Wet weight is 163Kg, they added a load of weight (~10Kg) for the 2017 version which is a shame but I think it was required to meet the A2 power:weight limits.patchb said:

Congrats on the new bike! A very "new" bike for little money. The WR's seem to hold their value well
Get looking at Track N Trails as they are often down in Dorset, or if you are keen there is a funduro near Keynsham I believe which they are running on the 23rd December! Only £20 for the Keynsham one too
PM me if you do anything on it as I may have my offroad bike sorted by then
I will be looking to do some kind of enduro practise day or similar on it over the Christmas period. I’ll have a look at the keynsham one, cheers.

Drained the tank and put some fresh super unleaded in, gave it a few kicks and it fired up (battery is dead). Took it up the road quickly, I’m quite surprised how punchy it is, I can see why people say avoid 450s as an off-road novice!
Ordered a service kit and a lithium battery so should be able to put it in for an MOT next week.
I'll keep you in mind if I see any local-ish enduro days and hopefully see you out on one

They certainly don't hang about! Pretty sure all the Yam's are 5 valve heads too. I was seriously considering buying one when I went for my KTM instead as it was a price I couldn't refuse

Yeah 5 valve and this ones had the mods done to uncork it a bit and make nearer the power that it makes in the YZ. I'll keep you in mind if I see any local-ish enduro days and hopefully see you out on one
Yeah go for it, I’ll generally be attending any enduro days I do on my own anyway unless I can convince my mate to swap the SM wheels on his WR450 and join me.

Indeed there is 
I had to blow it up to make sure, see who the 1st is to guess the bike behind, I have no idea but
he does look be to wearing ktm orange leathers although there's not a cat in hells chance there on an rc8r or he would be in front
McWillams was there on a KTM so it may be him. He was doing a bit of instruction which one of my mates was a pupil.

He came and had 30 minutes or so crack with us. What a thoroughly decent fella he is. He took the piss out of me for taking the 2nd pit entry which leads to a dead end which saw me having to ride across wet muddy grass with slicks.

Was it like Hutchy taking a shortcut in the TT He came and had 30 minutes or so crack with us. What a thoroughly decent fella he is. He took the piss out of me for taking the 2nd pit entry which leads to a dead end which saw me having to ride across wet muddy grass with slicks.

Winner I'll keep my eyes peeled. Yeah go for it, I’ll generally be attending any enduro days I do on my own anyway unless I can convince my mate to swap the SM wheels on his WR450 and join me.
I'm trying to work on a few of my friends who have bikes to get out but Christmas always seems to get in the way!

Ha ha, not seen that before.
k on the previous models but I even like the look of it on that bike. I can even get past the front headlight looking like a Jap's eye.
