WR250X and WR250R

[StandupWI]

Has anyone heard anything about these two models. All I know is that they are street legal. It is nice to finally see other manufactures produce a street legal dirtbike besides Suzuki. The only bummer is they are only 250cc so I doubt they are anything at highway speeds. If I were to get anything I would go the WR450f route and then motard it and make it street legal but maybe if this goes well this year next year they could bump it up to a 450. Just wondering if anyone else has heard anything about these two models.

The X model is kinda like a supermoto version........... the R is just a street legal model...........

They make very close to the same HP as the Suzuki DRZ400SM, I suspect its just a foot in the water which will lead to a 450sumo if sales are good.
