Pull up a couch. It's cool in the Lounge. Just remember to be a good neighbor.

I had no clue this bike was coming out until I just read about it. It looks perfect!

I think it's fantastic another mfg is producing a competition trail machine. I only hope others follow suit and do the same. Be nice to have some options other than KTM.....though I love mine.

I love it! I'm really stuck on having factory street legal, though, for less tag hassle.

They're coming out with an all new WR250 as well. I can't really decipher the differences between the two other than the WR is tuned down, pipe is more stuffed up and headlight and tail light. But it looks to be quite an improvement over the older WR250F.
I wouldn't want to tag a YZ around here. But it would be awesome to have the power and lightness of the new 250 MXers along with all the new added goodies!

Now they're doing it to their 2T. That is great news for the sport! Go Yamaha!

I was looking really hard at that bike a few weeks ago. Rumor has it there is going to be a 450 version of it as well. I have just picked up a new 14 WR450 and was tempted to wait until the YZ450FX version came along (per the rumors).

Having a headlight though was important, for at some point I will probably plate my WR and it will be just one less item I'll have to deal with.

Am so glad to see Yamaha stepping up though and really like what am seeing in their new 2t's.

Now they might be making a YZ125X. Crazy! I think it's great but I don't think there's a market here for it. This is Merica man! We need the biggest, fattest bikes, trucks, couches, toilets, etc! :D
