Title: ** SOLD** 2012 Yamaha WR450F DS
Post by: custmmc on January 11, 2018, 03:02:29 AM
This is a really great dual sport in my opinion.  It putts around trails and roads at a comfortable easy pace, but rips when desired.

Converted to street legal with Alabama title and tag.

I am second owner and it probably has less than 700 miles. I think he did two event, and my first event was LBL200 last year.  I originally purchased this bike with the intention of using it at Broxton Bridge DS, and I will be taking it to Broxton Bridge event and have it for sale this weekend.  It will be there and ready to ride at the Rooster Run...check events thread for more information.

I added Seat Concepts, IMS tank, rear luggage rack, chain slider, and some other items.  The original owner adjustable lowering link, ROX handlebar risers, GYTR module, and did all of the standard upgrades for the WR.

(Wolfman tankbag not included)

Holy crap, the hooliganism that could be had. I hope someone on MC-AL with a GoPro picks this up. Just saying...

GLWS, if I had the available funds this bike would be seeing some LA/FL dirt and sand.

Anybody we know? Did you invite them to the forum?

Somebody got a nice bike. I was seriously thinking about how can get funds to buy this.

He is a member on Advrider and we talked about this site.  We have a lot in common and plan to stay in touch.

He just sent me a txt and I sent him a link to this site.

And...I recommend the Yamaha WR as a dual sport bike.  My first WR conversion was a 1998 WR400...this one was slightly better... :D.

I have serious seller remorse  :'(, but thankfully the bike stayed local...And hopefully we all have someone new to join us for rides.

Man you scored a nice ride. This post got me thinking about how this is a very good way to replace/upgrade my DRZ without getting a budget busting KTM 500.

If you decide to sell it and go another route let me know.

Tim do you still have the Super Enduro or did you sell it already??

that WR is a nice DS bike! I agree Mulley, I keep looking at the TE150's for a dirt bike, but a good mid size DS might be in the running as well...

welcome aboard tim!

Thanks Jeff,
yes the SE is gone :(
This is my first non orange bike in a very long time. I'm ready to get it dirty.
