Is there any speculation that Yamaha will come out with a new design this year? It is funny how there are pics for all the 2012 Yamaha's except for the WR:thinking:Just wondering...

I want that bike really bad! The engine looks like a 450 not a 250 as well???

That would be nice if the photochop came to light. Having said that, Europe's Yamaha site has the 2012 WRF up and it is unchanged from 2011.

I think they only have the 2011 WR 450 up on that site.

It would not suprise me to see yamaha discontinue the WR/F line altogether.

Its yz counterpart has, as far as Ive seen, always out sold it, and right now the big 5 aren't exactly seeing record sales.

This (clearly) is just speculation and a guess on my part, I am not a high up Yamaha employee

I don't like your speculation.... Why would you say such a mean thing? ?

Can you waltz upstairs and ask the honchos what is going on with the fuel injected street legal WR for 2012.

Fuel injected yes?, street legal no:bonk:

[wondermuscle]

Fuel injected yes , street legal no:bonk:

I'm not holding my breath.... My money is on BNG and black rims.

Guranteed!

[off_road_4_me]

Guranteed!

or my money back?

That's a promise!

Yeah, economy is tuff, investment in a new wr isnt likely IMO. And do they sell that many WR's anyway? They should since by all/most accounts are pretty rock solid.

The FI models in the yz version are heavier so I'm not sure I want to add to an already heavy bike on the WR.

I like the bike..I do wish it had a 6th gear though..they can keep FI.

Unfortunately (for you) yes on FI, but no sixth gear on the 2012 - will still be a five speed.

Looks like the WR got the full monty. Backwards engine, FI, the works. the bike looks beautiful!!

Fake. See my previous posts in this thread.

I'd like to see a 250 or 300 WR 2 stroke, if KTM can sell them why not yami?

The WR450F has been Australia's top selling motorcycle for quite a few years as far as I know!

(Apart from a special 110cc Honda that is sold exclusively to "Australia Post", there's a million of them, but they don't count)
