TheYamaha WR250F is anoff-road motorcycle made byYamaha Motor Company. It has a 250 cc (15 cu in)liquid-cooledsinglenikasil coatedcylinder engine. First offered in 2001, it shared many components and design concepts with theYZ250F motocross model. It is basically the YZ250F detuned slightly for more controllable power, with a headlight, lighting coil, softer suspension, akickstand, better noise specifications, larger radiators, and lower emissions. The WR250F is basically a YZ250F modified forenduro competitions, extreme enduro competitions and hard enduro competitions and the practice of these extreme sports.[3] The WR in the name indicates awide-ratio gear box common to most enduro or trail bikes and stands in contrast to the close-ratio gearbox essential to amotocross racer. Over the years the WR250F has benefited from the advances made in the YZF motocross version, gaining advancements such as an aluminum frame and improved suspension.

Despite the similar name, it shares very few common components with the heavier, street-legaldual sportWR250R or itssupermoto variant WR250X.
