Well not long ago I brought a 2015 Yamaha WR450F, from Mr Motorcycle, ( plug for them) road legal version. The first chance I got to go for a decent ride,
My WR450F Review
PRO'S...................F@#kn awesome fun bike to ride, through the twisty back roads.
Down side..........The fuel range, how can i put it..........it sux hard i got 100k to the tank. :-(
The seat...after about 15k it felt like i was sitting on a piece of wood
The ride height, too tall for me, when it comes to the stop start of around town traffic lights i am struggling with getting a foot on the ground.without falling over.
Ive had the idea of converting it to a motard for commuting to work and a bit of back road riding.
So through Torpedo7 ordered their motard wheel set, set of disc's oversize 320 front and standard rear and going with a 50t rear sprocket which is the same as whats on the 18" rear wheel, leaving the front sprocket.
The theory is when time to swap out wheels I don't have to change the chain as well.
It should lower the bike as well.
Am I on the right track........
