[QUOTE="Hawaii-Rider, post: 75771, member: 21988"] [b]Confusion is good when it comes to buying toys.[/b] I know with me this is going to sound like a broken record....but here goes.......:think 6'3"......and well over230 with all my gear on....... I have the WR-250 and choose it over the 4xx series because of weight and power. I have a CR-500 and love it to tears......wonderful machine but the power and weight during a long ride or even a short one in real tight stuff flat wears you out. I have ridden the 4xx WRs and they are super, but I will flat run away on them with my CR....I know different bike etc.....got it. I posted earlier on an article in one of the Mags (Dirt Bike or Rider) where Scott Summers and a handfull of other great riders went riding in Ky woods with 4 machines.....(XR's) 250, mod 280, 400 and mod 440. When it was all said and done, the 280 posted the fastest loop times overall...and the 250 wasnt that far behind.:eek: Reason: light weight, smooth power delivery and well set up suspension. Even though the 440 had been mod'd and a rucksack more HP......(suspension too) it wasnt enough...go figure........... ....again for me.......I will pick light weight, smooth power delivery and properly set up suspension any day over more horsepower. Moose racing has done my suspension on my CR front and rear, Eibach springs, Steahly flywheel, pro-tapers on and on.......and I can ride longer, stay fresher and AFTER the first few loops FASTER on the WR, cause I am not tired and horsepower and weight whipped. Only a few of us that can use the HP that the big bikes have......sorry.....only a few....been riding tooooooo long........ I love the WR......it flys......suspension is smooth and once I get the risers and pro-tapers on it....I will have the pilot compartment set!.......do I wish it had a bit more rush.....yeah.....but not enough at the cost of all the weight and the "rush" later in the day. my $.02 I know opinions are like underwear.........every a#@hole has one really close to it......:confused: The WR-250 or 4xx are wonderful machines and in the right hands....either one can fly and will be a hooooot to run......you cant go wrong with either........ Enjoy your new ride.........!!! HR [/QUOTE]
