(DR Note)
Now you're into the top six!
This bike stood out at Dirt Rider's annual Torture Test and was chosen by the editors and test riders of Dirt Rider Magazine to be included in the magazine. You've likely read about how it compared to the other top five contenders in the test in the June issue of DR. This is the singled-out test of one of the best bikes we've tested all year. Enjoy!
About the Bike:
The Am-Pro/FMF/Yamaha/Tucker Rocky WR450F is a bike built for the serious National Level racer, but also for the average rider that just wants a great bike to go trail riding on. It's a woods-worthy weapon capable of everything from play riding, to moto, to winning national-caliber off-road events. In fact, this bike is a close replica of the National Hare Scramble championship-winning WR, and an actual Am-Pro GNCC race bike.
While the Am-Pro WR is a race-capable...
While the Am-Pro WR is a race-capable hot-rod, but it remains a quality trail bike.
The Am-Pro boys started with a stock WR450F and dug in to make the bike more rider friendly for race pace. With the help of Yamaha, GYT-R, FMF, Kenda, Pro-Taper/Tucker Rocky, Factory Connection, Cycra, Zip-Ty Racing, EBC, GPR, EK Chain, Fastway, Johnny Signs, Ready Filter, TM Designworks, Yamalube, E-Batt, G2 Ergonomics, Eleven 10 mods and Motion Pro this WR has turned from a mild-mannered trail bike to a very powerful, smooth and plush machine that is worthy of the Am-Pro reputation of quality, reliability and performance.
