Hello,
Anyone out there own a 2008 or newer Yamaha WR250R? What do you predominantly use it for, and what are your opinions of the bike. From what I have read it is a little down on power off the line, and it is a little heavy for serious off-road work, but amazing everywhere else (suspension in general (off/on road), good top speed, fuel injected, etc.).
I am trying to narrow down my next machine (only want one). I would like something that would be good for commuting to work (15-30 mins on road 80km or less), good for dual sport rides, the occasional tight trails, and cheap to insure and maintain. I think my time spent on a bike would be 60% road, 40% off-road. I know about the DRZ400S, and it would be interesting to compare those two bikes.
Regards,
Tim
