I would have one in a heart beat as a 'wife' bike. Shame that the 200 to 400cc market in the UK is so limited.

Please Mr Yamaha bring a 450 to the UK. Would that make a great lighter better RTW bike do you think than the 660 we have???

I would like to see them come to NZ..

nice idea... but would need a new motor.. Or the WR450 motor with some
major mods to give it some longevity..

How heAvy is that? Doesn't look very good? But that's okay. How strong is the sub frame? Those tubes look thin. I love my bike but it's too heavy to do go where I want. It's like a sexy woman that you can't pick up, eventually you get tired of trying.

I know it's been said before, but if you want it affordable and strong, it ain't gonna be light.

That 250 Tenere would've better with the WR250R motor rather than that ancient single-cam s+++++r. Imo, of course!

Very interesting looking bike, how much does it weigh??? The European market is not going well as we all know and Yamaha have been very slow to react (Honda were MUCH quicker) but at last they have launched the excellent and very well priced MT 07 and 09s so the UK and European dealers finally have something to shout about, indeed the UK has already sold its MT 09s to the dealers and the next deliveries will be 2015!!!
