I'm not looking to race, just have fun. The maintenance intervals are fantastic on them, as the longevity appears to be as well. I also like the fuel injection, and the fact that it has a 6th gear. I am open to other suggestions, but thats what my main search is for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rawlins87 Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Maintance intervals are awesome on that bike (yamaha). Had a friend that had one, let him ride my drz and he favored the drz. I know there is a lengthy write up on supermotojunkie.com about the wr250x vs drzsm. The fuel injection and mpg is nice though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For on-road, the DRZ is better, especially for any long distances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolsdime92 Posted June 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 I seem to see lots of people rebuilding the 400sms , due to eating valves. None with the wr. Hard to say why. Maybe there just isn't many of them on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more interested in dualsport rides. For full on supermoto, I'd pick up a CRF450X/R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be at PIRC this weekend getting the shit ran out of it.Bike 2 had 8,000+ hard miles and I lost the rod bearing earlier this year. This is the first problem I've had with either bike. Both bikes all hard street use.I think the WR 250 would be a fun small track bike, but it wouldn't do it for me on the street. Unless I was running to store to get some tampons for the wife.

ScubaCinci Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 I had a WR250F...nice bike but felt like I had to wring it out to get to the power. The DRZ has a much more usable powerband. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
