overhaul, similar to that
of the YZ450FX.
I wouldn't to be able to do what I did... it is something that will be
hard to ever accomplish again. The most beautiful way to finish off
the year is to go 1-1 at the Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Na-
tions and if I can accomplish that it will be the cherry on top!"
Tim Gajser (Honda) went 2-2 on the day for second overall,

YAMAHA UNVEILS ALL-NEW WR450F
Y
amaha will again offer both the WR250F and WR450F after finally releasing photos and information
on both models. The big news here is that the 2019 WR450F is all new; the 250 returns as it was.
The WR450F is closely based on the latest YZ450F motocrosser. It's basically the same motorcycle
but tuned for the trail. Frame, engine and suspension have all been updated, and fuel capacity has
been upped to 2.2 gallons, like the 2019 YZ450FX. The WR's five-speed transmission features the
same gear ratios as the FX, as well.
The WR will be available in January with a $9599 MSRP. CN
