- Yamaha WR250R – Another Greg Yager special
The hardest-working WR250Rs in the country are probably the ones used by RideADV to recce courses. Main man Greg Yager himself can spin a spanner and ride a bit, so when it comes to preparing Yamaha’s tiddler 250cc four-stroke for serious, fast-paced adventure work – with emphasis on the ‘work’ – Greg’s got the holeshot (as our motocross chums would say). Yamaha Motor Australia had Greg build a bike as a model for Yamaha customers to work from, and Adventure Rider Magazine was lucky enough to get a look at it.
There’s a market building in small-bore adventure bikes.
New releases at the recent industry showcase, EICMA, had most of the established brands offering some kind of 250cc or 300cc off-roader in variations ranging from fun dualsport bikes to semi-serious rallye lookalikes.
