There are loads of accessories for the WR250R, making it easy to set up for an adventure touring trip. I fitted a Trail Tech temp gauge (left). Hopefully Yamaha can keep these rolling off the production line, because they are an exceptional little machine and one that covers a special niche, without requiring the rather full on service schedule of something like the WR250F. 2020 Yamaha WR250F vs WR250R | Comparison Test, Favorite Rides & Destinations Digital Edition, Adventure & Dual-Sport Motorcycle Reviews, Triumph Launches Certified Pre-Owned Program. The WR250R’s liquid-cooled single is based on the F’s 250cc race-ready enduro motor and shares the same bore and stroke, but among other changes has lower compression and mellower cam profiles for more street tractability.

Tooling around off road sees you move around more, so you get tired before you get uncomfortable.

SuspensionI never rode the bike on the standard suspension and with Hyperpro front fork springs and a 461 shock with a HPA on the back I didn’t have much to complain about until I came back over Jebel Sarhro with a full tank and souvenir carpets. For the least weight and most performance, the European makers like KTM and Husqvarna offer some very serious (and expensive) lightweight dual-sports. They knew my weight from before.

The 2020 Yamaha WR250R we sampled for this story shares much of its WR250F sibling’s DNA, but has far fewer unobtanium bits for racing so it costs $1,900 less. I did all the usual things to the WR; protection; tyres; bigger tanks and luggage capacity. Seat height is still quite tall at 36.6 inches, but that’s an inch lower than the F’s, and the R still soaks up the bumps with 10.6 inches of fully adjustable suspension travel at each end.
