If it's a road bike then by law it has to have a few dials, yes. Speed and milage are the legal ones i think.

Enduro bikes generally come in two flavours: a trail bike with enduro stickers and which usually have more refinements (like a rev counter and steering lock etc) and then you get your competition dirt bike which has been made road legal with the addition of as little equipment as possible, usually small lights and speedo with odo.

I'd have thought the WR falls more into the latter category but if you're looking at the 2007 model then this page https://www.yamaha-motor.com/sport/products/modelfeatures/66/0/features.aspx says:

"Cool, digital enduro computer offers speedometer, clock, tripmeter, etc., in basic mode—or pace management functions such as timer, distance-compensating tripmeter, average speed, etc., when switched to race mode."

Nice looking bike.
