oldschoolsdime92 Posted June 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 I gotta get some tires before I do anything like that, but I'm sure it won't hang with the 450s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Last years season winner was a 250r. Small tracks are easier to go fast on small bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschoolsdime92 Posted June 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 I dig it so far. I've only logged about 15 miles but I can't get over how light it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baptizo Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 There is one over here in Stow - same year, more mods (maybe), and a little over 3k miles for $5099.....they look like a hoot to ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 It will hang with the 450's. Devon has set the fastest lap on a KTM 85... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolsdime92 Posted June 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 it may be able to hang , But i don't think the pilot can! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkow97 Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 what is the top-speed on the WR250x? seems like it would be a lot of fun, but I'm not sure it could be my only bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3.504 Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 what is the top-speed on the WR250x?seems like it would be a lot of fun, but I'm not sure it could be my only bike.I'm not sure what top speed is, but I've seen them hold a 70 pace on ky back roads. They're an awesome mountains bike. Basically, they're a Yamaha drz400sm that's fuel injected. I have taken a few laps on the kart track with one. They're a little heavier (around 300lbs) like a drz. You can run decent laps once you get the suspension dialed. They are down on power compared to an mx 250f, but they'll hold their own.

ScubaCinci Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Not quite...they have less torque and horsepower than a DRZ. They are fun though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) He told me they have more hp and weigh less than a drz400 (at least I think that's how the convo went) ... Quick Google search backs that up also**edit after looking twice, only 1 place did I see claiming wr makes more... Everywhere else says 33hp vs 26hp in drz favor.. I stand corrected Edited June 26, 2014 by Steve Butters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 I'd take it over the drz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stand correctedIf you ride both back to back, I'm sure it's splitting hairs really. The drz feels a little more gutsy off the bottom end, and responds a bit better to modification, but I'd take the ease of fuel injection and the reliability of the Yamaha. The Yamaha is designed as a street bike, the drz is a modified (detuned) Dirtbike for the street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 The Yamaha handles better too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaCinci Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 I've had both...the Yammy is lighter and you can really feel it which helps offset the power shortage from the DRZ. The Yamaha has plenty of power but you need to get the RPMs up pretty good to get into it. The DRZ has power almost from the get go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolsdime92 Posted June 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure, but it cruises on the highway decently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
