Wolverine Weekend

Neville's 2007 Yamaha 450 Wolverine 4x4, flanked by Thaven's 700R Raptor, just outside Jerome's house in Woudsig, before our Forest ride.
The styling is aggro, and gives Wolfy a commanding prescence.

We felt quite priveleged to be able to see and ride this beast, since it is 1 of only 6 in the country at this time. After the experience, we are sure that we will encounter many many more Wolverines in the coming months - it's just THAT good!

Though (?) it still uses swing-arm suspension in the rear, the ride is comfy and very stable. After following behind spacer-fitted Raptors most of the time, the Wolverine's rear footprint appears a bit narrow, but this did not impact on the riding experience at all.

Making the river crossing look easy. There was no part of the trail that really challenged the Wolverine.

Everyone who rode the Wolverine was impressed with it's handling, ride comfort and sporty, responsive engine.
Though we couldn't find a situation that really tested the 4x4, it's a nice feature to have on-demand, giving great peace of mind.
