  10. New honda crf250l???

    Heres what I can tell you.  I picked up a wr250x a few weeks ago. I've logged a couple hundred miles on it since I picked it up. First off, I love it. I love the weight and nimbleness.I love the fuel injection. I love that it makes power higher in the RPMs. It loves to be revved. I've not ridden a 250R but I'd assume its similar.  If you want stump pulling power, you may want to go with something bigger. The power reminds me of a 2 stroke almost in a sense. My WR isn't 100% stock. It has a full FMF system ( power bomb header and power core muffler) FMF programmer, AIS removed, and the air box flapper is removed. It will cruise comfortably on the highway at 70-75 no problem. Just make sure you plan your passes accordingly. I'm also running stock gearing. I feel it could be dropped down a tooth up front. I've had the X off road a tiny bit, and this is where I feel it could be brought down a tooth. It doesn't lug around in 1st and 2nd gear very well. I believe my biggest complaint is the tiny fuel tank. Every time I leave the house, I have to head straight to the gas station.

    I don't mind having to spin the little engine up to make power. Thats part of the fun of a hooligan bike! I don't think I'd like it as my primary motorcycle, but, as a second bike to my SV, its fantastic. I have full intentions of getting on the kart track. G&J kartway is only about 45 minutes from my house.

     

    I looked at the DRZ very heavily also, but I wanted fuel injection. I also prefer the looks of the WR over the drz quite a bit. Theres been a white DRZSM sitting outside the christian high school I pass everyday, and it just doesn't do anything for me. 

     

    I tried to buy one of these new in 2008 and I called competition accessories to see if they had one in stock. The salesmen told me they did, and even offered to get the paper work ready. Upon arrival, they did not have one, and when I questioned him about it, he said " Oh i thought you said CRF450" or something along those lines. I then got into the triumph thing and the wr250x got put on the back burner... until now...
