The 2008 WR250R and WR250X aren't anything like the existing slew of 250cc 4-stroke machines from Yamaha. The familiar WR model, the 250F enduro, has a totally different engine, chassis, suspension, computer, seat, you name it. The same goes for the YZ250F motocrosser which is even further away in the Yammie quarter-liter lineup. Go to MotorcycleUSA.com to read the entire Yamaha WR250 dirt bike review.
@J801506 also, at 25mph in 2nd hit the clutch and it comes right up.. all gas is possible if you sit back and pull a little, depending on you weight, handles so lovely i have scraped the side of my shoes off and im a squid, never had any problems except wind deflection is shit, on the highway im always passing cars, which was my main reason for NOT getting the klx which i heard is lots less powerful but it was also twice as cheap as the wr, i feel it was worth it though =)
I have a wr250x topspeed is about 88 mph 7% higher speed is shown on the instruments. i get about 115-30 miles to the tank it holds 2 gallons .. for a city dweller like me in NYC its MORE than enough and its so maneuverable I rape 600 1000 in the corners np.. Its very fast i top out in about i would say about 18 seconds i dont really no for sure going of the top of my head. I love it was my first bike havnt dropped it , have 3500 miles on it still running perfect only changed the oil once haha
Any time! I have many praises for this bike. The only things that suck is that the exhaust (or clutch cover) gets really hot near the right leg, no tach, and even though its fuel injected, it will bog off the line until it warms up. Other than that, it's everything i'd hoped it would be!
i would get one of these over a ninja 250 any day
ReplyDeleteHonestly that review was terrible. I want to hear numbers, not just BS and videos of people riding the bike!
ReplyDelete@gangstaawankstaa Much more fun too
ReplyDelete@Blaze0303 agreed
ReplyDelete@bandguy360 they guy said 4 valves...
ReplyDeleteew i dont like the look of the exhaust pipe
ReplyDeleteIn Germany it is fully legal to wheel your motorbike as long as you can keep it under control :DD
ReplyDeletethese dont have that retarded 5 valve engines do they?
ReplyDelete@SpeedingStudent wr250r cost 8000$ in canada, too expensive for a 250.
ReplyDeleteFor little more, i can get a ktm or a husky.
i have a WR250R, top speed about 90. Pretty sick bike. Great looking, 70 mpg (I weigh 150), and easy to ride.

ReplyDeleteI like riding my WRR, lots of fun. I just need to finish breaking in the new engine before I can really let loose.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteIn Brazil we have the Yamaha XTZ 250X (Find pictures on google) Beautiful too!
COOL
ReplyDeleteI`ve got a yamaha dt 50r, and i think this is the best trail/enduro motorbike on 250cc.
ReplyDeletei think he meant "WR(250)R"
ReplyDeleteThis beats the KLX250S for sure
ReplyDeleteRR? like CBR600/1000 RR?
ReplyDeleteHow would the RR be for a first bike? Looking to sell my car and get a dual sport, hear plenty of good things about this and the KLX250S.

ReplyDeleteCool, thatd be usefull just for knocking around on too. I live in the city, so Im a 30mile ride to the nearest woods.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reply m8.
85 MPG! The fuel light (half gallon left) usually comes on at around120 miles. And the power really isn't all that bad.
