My local dealer rode at Coffs launch ( probably the same bloke that Bols spoke to and normally rides a 2 fiddy ) tells me it handles like a 2 fiddy. He said he had it on a middle of the range setting so that it wouldn’t pull his arms off and didn’t even notice the weight of the bike in the tight stuff.
I believe the shop is going to demo a bike and I will be taking it for a ride before I make my final decision on whether to stay with a 450 or drop down to a 250.
As for price, he is quoting $13750 on road which is on par with other brands.
If the bike is true to it’s design specs it will be well worth the wait.Buzz
I placed my order today, $12950 ride away.
It comes with a offroad enduro pack and a power tuner
They are hoping to have it at the dealership midweek and with a touch of luck i will have it by next weekend
March 2, 2012 at 5:52 pm #217494Well done mate.
We will all be very keen to hear about how she goes. Sounds like a fair deal considering some of those tuners can be $600.STM
March 2, 2012 at 5:58 pm #217437:woohoo: So you ordered a EUROTRASH ?????
Nah, Good onya mate, you knew what ya wanted all along
Good Luck with the new delivery and have a ball on your first ride next week :woohoo:OBT`s first new yammy injected WR450 , now you have some serious reviews to do and dozens of questions to answer :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

March 2, 2012 at 6:27 pm #217498Thanks guys, I went with my heart in the end.
Another factor was that the Yamaha dealers have a new model special going on.
The new WR was $ 600 cheaper than the katoMarch 2, 2012 at 6:35 pm #217499Onya Aido
I also will be very keen to hear your thoughts of the EFI as I have had the KTM 500 for quite a few months now.
I was so reluctant to buy the first of new design but so far all is good, although it seems to wear me down faster than my 07 525. Still its a great machine. Had to ride a KTM 09 450 up a hill today and was surprised at the lack of grunt it had off the bottom compared to mine. On saying that I could probably ride that for much longer than mine. :blush:
Enjoy mate
Hope everything goes good
Cheers
MurphMarch 2, 2012 at 8:04 pm #217506Nice work Aido. :woohoo:

Well done Aido…Carnt wait to here about your new ride
Would love a new yammi…Will have to wait and see..
All reports are good..I THINK..My 06 weighed in at 130kg,so i dont think the 2012 model has a weight problem.
Look forward to what you think mate.GO THE BLUE BIKES…

Im sure you wont be dissapointed
March 5, 2012 at 6:28 pm #217524I had my first live look at the new WR today , to be honest I was
a bit dissapointed. It just looks like a tarted up version of the old one.
I hope it goes better than it looks.March 5, 2012 at 6:44 pm #217439:blink:
How can one be disappointed when a brand new ride is just abut to appear in the shed ??? :whistle: :laugh:
C`Mon Aido, It will be sweet, by all media reports they go like the clappers and are still nimble betwen the legsI reckon you will be stoked after 10 mins onboard the thing
