I like mine so far, I bought it new ('08 leftover) a few months ago. I wish it had a little more power to be honest. I am not a Dirtbike Veteran or anything so I have nothing to compare it to, except my 1991 YZ80... its much more powerful.

they are slow. really slow unless you dump some cash into them...yamaha 4strokes are the most reliable ones out there...itll will be heavier and slower than a yz smoker but they are good trailbikes, especially for a beginner. a regular yz250f would be a better choice if you want to stick with the fourstroke

then again, its all about the price...what can you pick it up for??

I just wanted to clarify... the WR250F is much more powerful than my old YZ80, it didn't read right up top. I plan to use it on the road almost every day in the summer so I think the WR is a good choice for me.
With the free mods it is supposed to run similar to the YZF except for the cam timing, and gearing.

Believe you can change the timing to match the curve of the YZ. I believe nick pointed out last year that the frame and suspension is different.

I ran an XR250 for years and never had a need for power and that bike was heavy.

thats is true off the wr250 r that is the road based one . the wr250f is the same frame and suspension well not exactly the same but similar
I ended up buying a yz250f. Deal fell through on the WR. It was an 01. Got a decent price on a 03. Seems to be well taken care of...original owner had it and bought a new KX250 smoker last year and this has been relegated to the garage. Picked it up for $1600. All is good to go with valves/cam. Will need a new clutch though. See if I can't post a pic sometime soon. Anyone ride in Ga? I'm looking at Durhamtown and Echeconee for riding spots.
