[QUOTE="Workman, post: 688000, member: 47823"] I cant tell you anything about the new Honda. But I have owned a 94 KLX250 four stroke, a 99 RM 125, and an 03 WR250F. The WR250F began being produced in 2001. The 01 and 02 model had little change from year to year. The 03 had electric start and they flattened the seat and tank which made it feel more like a motocrosser. I loved my first two bikes and would have loved the WR except I had a lot of problems with it. And unless you can find an 03 WR used, you will pay almost as much as you would for the Honda. Anyway, if you get a WR you have to do the free modifications because it is very restricted. When my WR ran, it ran very well. It has a great suspension and plenty of power. However, it does not have hit as the YZ250F despite the fact that they have the same engine. I did the mods on my WR and put a Pro Moto Billet pipe insert on it and it ran much better. But it sheered a woodruff key in the engine and had a few other problems with it that shouldn't have happened. The woodruff key problem was the same problem they had with the WR450. Most people I have talked to love their WR, but mine was nothing but headaches. The worst part of it all is that the engine problems occurred at 99 miles and only had 4 rides on it. And I do not abuse my bikes. However, I was more disgusted with how I was treated by Yamaha than I was with all of the problems. My dealer was great and tried to help get Yamaha pay for the repairs since the bike was so new. Yamaha would not recognize the problem as a product defect. After being thoroughly insulted by Yamaha, I sold the bike. I am probably one of only a few incidents of this nature. I did talk to a few people that had similar probs. I sold it because after paying $5600 for the bike I couldn't afford to keep paying for repairs on it. By the way, I am going to pick up my next bike, a 2002 KDX200 on Saturday. [/QUOTE]
