THE BIG PICTURE
#1 This is the Yamaha WR450F that Stefan Merriman rode to third place in the Enduro 2 class of the 2006 World Enduro Championship. Claiming three victories in the WEC that year, the Aussie went on to secure a third place finish at the 2006 ISDE in New Zealand. #2 Featuring an aluminium chassis the bike that UFO Corse Yamaha developed for Merriman in 2006 was actually a motocross-based, pre-production version of the heavily updated WR450F Yamaha launched the following year.
