[QUOTE="Burner, post: 76314, member: 20915"] I have to agree with Hawaii rider 100%! I had a chance to ride the New WR 250 this past weekend and I have a new respect and desire for that machine. I currently ride a 00 KTM 300 EXC and I’m 6.2 240 with gear and 44 years old. Our riding area is in Western MA and Northern CT. Needless to say the woods in which we ride are very tight and rocky where horsepower is not your friend. I was immediately faster on the WR. I was stunned! I was also depressed after having spent large on the KTM and all its mods only to jump on this bone stock 250 (go figure) and actually be quicker through the woods. No the WR is not a horsepower king, and will not win any “sand pit races” but there in lies the beauty of this machine. It does have very adequate power for our type of terrain though. You don’t have to rev it like some have said, you can ride it slow, but the power definitely lives in the upper rpm range. One other factor is that the thing turns effortlessly compared to my EXC. The thing is that all that slicing and dicing, cut and thrust, or whatever you may call it on a powerful two stroke is just wasting energy and time. The WR took me (old fat person) from turn to turn faster than my EXC. For Tight woods riding, this bike is great! Now if they could just put an E-button on it I would be a happy man. [/QUOTE]
