Yamaha WR250F keeps an estimated 65% of its value after 5 years — #582 of 1005 powersports vehicles VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Yamaha WR250F retains an estimated 65% of its value after five years, ranking #582 of 1005 powersports vehicles we track. That is 2 points above the 64% five-year average for Dirt in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Yamaha WR250F sheds about 11% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $9,199 it falls to around $5,997 by year five — a five-year loss near $3,202, about $1.75 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Yamaha WR250F bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
