A bike which has already received massive updates for the previous model year, the WR450F only suffers minor modifications for the 2008 MY. The most important upgrades are the special fluorination treatment the tank received, helping minimize fuel vapour emissions, and the revised front brake, which is not lighter, while still offering undented performance. | A bike which has already received massive updates for the previous model year, the WR450F only suffers minor modifications for the 2008 MY.

The 2010 MY WR450F boasts exceptional maneuverability and is a non-intimidating machine, at least for intermediate and skilled riders who know what a 450cc-class off-road bike cane do. Long-travel suspensions and a light build boos confidence, as well as the works-style wave rotors do. The YZ-class performance is delivered in a slightly more manageable package, while the new gripper seat adds to the comfort and overall feel of being in control. | The 2010 MY WR450F boasts exceptional maneuverability and is a non-intimidating machine, at least for intermediate and skilled riders who know what a 450cc-class off-road bike cane do.
