How do the WR and YZ F's compare in power delivery?  I've heard so much about how the WR likes to be wound out and doesn't have much low end, but I rode a YZF recently and was surprised at how good the low end was.  There wasn't much actual power down there, but it was pretty willing to putt around and then pick up and go.  I don't expect (or want!) an XR250, I just want it to run clean when putting (see "kids" below...).

One of these days I'm going to need a new bike and I'm just looking at my options: turn the KX125 into a KX144, get another XR250, CRF250X, 250 2-stroke w/ FWW, YZ/WR250F, etc., etc.  Lots of good options.  I just "ride"- 75% local easy MX track, the rest woods, trails, riding with kids, fireroads, etc.  No actual racing, although on the MX track I'm moderately agressive.  Reliability would be first (and I'm good at maint), suspension and handling 2nd, power 3d.  I tend to adapt to the bike and use it for what it's good at, rather than vice versa.

Anyway- I'm curious about the power of the WR vs. the YZ F...consider the WR to be uncorked but forest legal.
