I am thinking of getting a WR also, but I am not sure it is the bike for me. I love the effortless power-wheelies my bike can do in any gear with just a twist of the throttle, and the WR certainly does not do this. It is a great bike, I enjoyed the short spin I took on a friend's, but it deffinately does not make the sheer power of a modded 250 two-stroke. It is more like a 125 with a very wide powerband, and it wants lots of revs, something I am not used to, as my bike is the exact opposite, making it's best power in the low-end and midrange.
The 426 is not a bike that I want, it is too heavy, and simply too much bike for the tight, twisty trails that I prefer.(here come the flames:eek: )
