I noticed today that Yamaha is making a WR250 two stroke for sale in Australia based on the YZ 250. I love my '95 WR250, but I wish I could upgrade to one with the latest YZ chassis and motor. I have talked to people who have built their own with a YZ250 and installing the gear set for a WR426. It works great, but you still don't have the lighting coil, 18 in wheel, headlight, etc. Basically, Yahama has all the parts needed to make a very versatile off-road (desert, MX, enduro, HS, ISDE, trail) bike with minimal effort. Why won't they give KTM a run for the money and import an american version of the WR250? Canada even got the '98 WR when the US stopped with the '97 chassis. Does anyone know why?
