[QUOTE="WR 250, post: 141129, member: 17697"] Yamaha discontinued the IT line after '86. For a short time they offered the WR 200 in the early 90's but it didn't stick around very long. The YZ 250 was available in an off road version as the YZWR in '88 or '89, the name was then shortened to WR in the following years . Yamaha also came out with the WR 500 which was a YZ 490 in a different frame (I believe). It seemed like back in the 80's Yamaha just decided to quite competing with Kawasaki in the 200 class. Fortunitly Kawi kept producing and updating their 200. I was sad to see the IT go away since I had an '85 200. It is too bad that Yamaha doesn't make something to compete with the KDX today since I would probably still be on a Yamaha as the Yamaha dealer in my area is much better than any of the Kawasaki dealers. Oh well, I guess I still can't bring myself to seriously consider the WR 250F with it's just under 6 grand price tag and sky high, 39.3" seat height. [/QUOTE]
