Message: [QUOTE="teton, post: 505699, member: 20954"] Though we dont have much woods riding here in the SoCal desert, I bought the YZ (01) sight unseen, unridden, hoping that it would make a great trail bike. I chose the YZ over the WR for several reasons, the first was knowing that there was going to be more weight, and in the past Yamaha had to tall of a high gearing that the smaller bikes had problems pulling those speeds to keep the bike in the powerband. Turns out to have been a good move, mainly for the seat to tank fit, the YZ was great in the desert even with my somewhat over weight rear end. The motor was real fun as a trail bike, I would of wanted a fly wheel weight for me, but thats a small price to pay. Even it you get the WR you will have to have some suspension work, seems that every bike has that to do. I think that the small 4 banger will be fun in the woods with the right valving, and perhaps a pipe/muffler. [/QUOTE]
