Can you ride the Yamaha WR450F on an A2 licence?
Yes, you can ride the Yamaha WR450F (2024 onwards) on an A2 motorbike licence. However, you will need to fit a restrictor kit to reduce its power output and make it A2 licence compliant!
Yamaha WR450F (2024 onwards)
The 2024 revamp of the Yamaha WR450F brings some massive changes. It features a brand new narrower frame with a redesigned airbox, rounded seat, and lower footpegs. All of these make the bike much more stable and easier to handle.
The engine has also been changed. The bike is now less powerful than its predecessors, which were complete powerhouses, but the DNA remains the same. There is still plenty of torque and much more power than most people will ever use. On top of that, it is super smooth and reliable.
So, if you are looking for a lightweight dual-sport motorcycle capable of off-road racing, then look no further. There is nothing better on the market right now!
