Yamaha Wr250r
The Yamaha Wr250r has a top speed of 145 km/h, produces 30 hp and weighs 134 kg. Motoryk rates it 8.5/10.
La Yamaha WR250R a été introduite en 2008 en tant que moto bi-sport homologuée pour la route, conçue pour une utilisation sur route et hors route, équipée d'un moteur de 250 cm3 à injection de carburant à haut régime à une époque où la plupart des concurrents utilisaient encore des carburateurs. Il s'est rapidement taillé une réputation de fiabilité, de polyvalence et de performances remarquables dans sa catégorie, ce qui l'a rendu populaire auprès des conducteurs d'aventure et des navetteurs. Le modèle est resté largement inchangé tout au long de sa production, ce qui témoigne de son design bien pensé, bien qu'il ait été abandonné sur la plupart des marchés vers 2019-2020.

Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir
Exceptional Long-Term Reliability
The WR250R is renowned for its fuel-injected 250cc engine that routinely surpasses 20,000–30,000 miles with minimal issues when properly maintained. Its street-legal dual-sport design means it was built to stricter standards than pure off-road bikes.
Strong Resale Value
Discontinued after 2020, the WR250R holds its value exceptionally well and often sells used for close to its original MSRP. Demand consistently outpaces supply, making it one of the best-reselling small dual-sports on the market.
Watch for Stator Issues
A known weak point is the stator, which can fail on higher-mileage bikes, leaving you stranded without charging power. Always check the charging system output before buying used, and budget for a potential stator replacement.

"La référence en matière de double sport qui n'a jamais eu besoin d'être réparée."
Yamaha a construit ce modèle une fois et a bien fait les choses : la WR250R est la petite voiture bisport la plus inspirante que j'ai jamais conçue, avec un moteur DACT à injection de carburant qui tourne proprement à 3 000 tr/min et qui n'a jamais fait de bruit les matins froids comme l'ont fait les concurrents à carburation. Le châssis est véritablement planté sur du gravier meuble et un singletrack étroit, et à 132 kg, vous ressentez cet avantage de poids dès qu'un sentier se resserre. Cela dit, 30 chevaux atteignent rapidement le plafond sur l'autoroute. À 120 km/h, c'est du travail honnête, et tout ce qui dépasse cette limite, c'est du bourdonnement, des vibrations et des vœux pieux. Le prix était également toujours élevé ; Yamaha facturait presque plus cher pour une moto qu'elle refusait de mettre à jour, et en trouver une d'occasion en bon état est devenu un sport à part entière.

Évaluation d'un acheteur d'occasion
"The benchmark used dual-sport buy if budget allows."
$4,500-$7,500 usedThe WR250R is one of those rare bikes that does exactly what Yamaha promised and keeps doing it fifteen years later. It's genuinely dual-sport capable — not trail-capable-with-asterisks like most street-registered dirt bikes. The liquid-cooled 250 four-stroke makes around 30hp, which sounds modest until you're threading singletrack at altitude and realizing the engine never misses a beat. Fuel injection on all years means easy cold starts and consistent throttle response whether you're at sea level or 10,000 feet. Used examples hold value stubbornly because the owner community knows what they have. Buying used, check the suspension linkage bearings — they're notorious for neglect and expensive to rebuild properly. Ask specifically whether the owner ever serviced the rear shock linkage. Also verify it hasn't been dropped hard on the right side; that radiator sits exposed. Most WR250Rs live easy lives as weekend adventurers, so finding a clean example isn't difficult. Budget for new tires immediately regardless of what's fitted.
