Yamaha's profilation of this bike |
Boosted by Olivier Pain’s third place on the 2014 Dakar and input from five time Dakar winner Cyril Despres, Yamaha Factory Racing Team Yamlube are entering a brand new machine for the 2015 edition – the Yamaha WR450F Rally. With its rear-inclined engine, the new bike has much in common with its YZ450F sibling. However, unlike the moto-x bike, Yamaha’s Dakar entry features electric start, a major rider aid for Dakar competitors in the dunes. |
