Yamaha's record in Enduro1 is truly outstanding, with team
riders Stéphane Peterhansel, Peter Bergvall and Stefan
Merriman taking our WR250F to four WEC World Championships in
succession between 2001 and 2004.
Our class-leading performance in Enduro1 looks like being
repeated in Enduro2 for 2006 with Yamaha UFO Corse riders Johnny
Aubert and Stefan Merriman. So far this season both Yamaha team
riders have both shown winning form, and in doing so have
underlined the WR450F's true world-class performance.
As well as winning World Championships for Yamaha, Stefan Everts
and Stefan Merriman have reinforced Yamaha's position as the
serious contender in world enduro by taking overall victory in the
ultimate test of speed and endurance, the ISDE.
Yamaha's position as one of the leading manufacturers in all
levels of enduro is the result of a total commitment to the sport.
We were the first manufacturer to develop the new wave of
lightweight, free-revving 4-stroke enduro models, and for 2007 we
are just about to take enduro machine design to another level with
the new generation WR450F and WR250F.
2007 YAMAHA ENDURO MODELS
Featuring the most advanced cutting-edge engine and chassis
technology ever seen on a Yamaha enduro machine, our all-new 2007
models offer today's enduro rider a very real advantage at every
level.
Both the WR450F and WR250F run with a new lightweight aluminium
semi-double cradle frame and are driven by new high performance
engines that deliver increased levels of useable power - and these
advanced high-tech packages are completed by totally new ergonomic
bodywork.
With these completely redesigned enduro models, Yamaha believe
that we now offer the most complete and most advanced 4-stroke
enduro bikes in their respective classes.
