hi im new to the site, im about to take my test and im going to buy a wr 400f, ive seen a few supermoto style ones but am not sure if they come like that are do they have to be changed, if the dont what work is involved and is it costley?

cheers

The WR450F is a serious off road bike, these are well spec'd, very light and as quick as you like. Normally they come prepaired for off road (apart from the crappy Pirelli tyres, that you'd soon ditch for some propper knobs). You may have seen a 250, they do a super-moto version of that, but I've not seen one on the roads so I can't comment.

You may find one about that has been super-moto'd but if you are looking for a new bike it's going to cost you. Have you though about an XT660X ? these are already super-moto bikes. I'm assuming you are looking at the 450 because you'll have a restricted licence ?

The Yamaha website has all the details:
