WR250R

WR250R is a dual-sport motorcycle produced by Yamaha Motor Company. It was introduced in 2008 as a road-legal variation of Yamaha's off-road race-focused YZ250. The design aims to balance on-road usability with off-road capability, featuring a light chassis, long-travel suspension, and a compact engine. The powertrain consists of a 249cc four-stroke single-cylinder engine with fuel injection, delivering smooth, versatile torque for street riding and technical trails. It is paired with a six-speed transmission and a simple, robust clutch. The bike uses a steel or aluminum frame with long-travel front forks and a rear shock designed to handle rough terrain, while 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels provide versatility on varied surfaces. Braking is handled by disc brakes, with a front brake setup sized for dual-sport use.

As a street-legal machine, the WR250R comes equipped with mandatory equipment such as lights, horn, and instrumentation
