Hey guys, I need some advice...
Main questions:
1) I've read some reviews of the Yamaha wr250f stating the gas tank/seat isn't as good for aggressive turns as it could be, not letting the rider get very far forward. Since the 2001 wr250, has this problem been changed on any of the particular years?
2) Should I just spend an extra grand or so on the Honda crf250x? The reviews I've read peg it as the better bike...
Reason I'm asking:
I have an '01 cr250r that I love, but have decided to sell because I want a 4stroke. I can't afford to keep both, and I want more range to do longer rides with some of my friends that do 100+ miles in a day.
I've decided on either the crf250x or the wr250f. I know they have less power than my 2stroke, but that's no big deal because I've heard nothing but good about both. I would rather get the Honda, but they only started making them in '04 and I can't find one for under $4,000 (not very often anyway).
Even though I'd love to have electric start, I can find '01/'02 (wr) models for under $3,000. Kicking almost seems worth it to me if I can save over a grand and not notice much difference in the actual riding. Should I sacrifice the magic button for now?
Thanks!
