[QUOTE="noah44444, post: 1311527, member: 98162"] Sadly, I sold my 2000 Suzuki DRZ400 complete with Yosh pipe after trying everything under the sun to make it street legal here in California. I was told by the DMV that because of my DRZ's VIN it would never be allowed to have a Cali license plate. I sold the DRZ because I was looking for something street legal that would get me to work at back and be able to do the speed limit but still be able to hit the local trails on my way home and the WR250R was exactly what I was looking for. The fuel injected WR250R is surprisingly quick and takes my fat 200 pound butt up to a cruising speed of 75 MPH without trying to hard but is nothing like my old DRZ400 thumper which could lift the front end in just about any gear. ;) I would not put the WR in the same category as Yamaha's XT line of bikes. The XTs are not fuel injected or water cooled and can't rev like the WR with its high lift cams which has maximum power at 10,000 RPM. Yes that is 10,000 RPM. The power curve is much different than any four stroke dirt bike I have ever had a chance to ride. I am looking forward to an aftermarket pipe/programmer and removing the shopping bag full of tubes and stuff they add on to make the WR250R street legal here in Cali. The bike feels pretty stuffed up compared to my girlfriends little 2 stroke YZ125 with FMF pipe and aftermarket reeds. I am pretty sure she could take me off the line in the first five gears. :think: Likes: Much lighter and less top heavy than my old Suzuki DRZ400 four stroke but easily does 75 MPH in 6th gear and runs quite a while on 2 gallons of gas at 70 miles per gallon. I am definitely diggin the illuminated blue LCD tachometer. Dislikes: Stock exhaust and stock computer programming makes throttle response less than snappy. At 80 MPH the bike wobbles a bit but that is to be expected with no windshield/fairings. The 2 gallon gas tank could be a little larger and no aftermarket tanks are out on the market as of 10/08. Overall I am happy with the bike but still can't wait to get that stock can off of there and replace it with something that gives it more response. I think this thing would really come alive then. Anyone know if it is worth the extra $100 for a Yosh pipe over the FMF series they have out right now? What kinda programmer would you all use? I will try to post some pics of the new beauty later.
