6speed
FUEL INJECTION


im thinking this will make a good first bike for me. This bike or a DRZ 400.
i think this yamaha looks sexy

That's pretty sweet but I think I'd rather have the 450 version. I wish they would offer all those features on the regular WR250F

I would probably consider one if I wasn't such a fat ass. :D

There's a good review/writeup at supermotojunkie. If you haven't seen it, here's the link.

pretty cool , but I'd go for a 400 up if your gonna ride it on the street.
60hp might get boring someday, maybe not with that light of weight...
I just keep thinking my old ass F2 makes atleast 80 or 90 and that is about the minimum power I would want.
If it just weighed less and had slick suspension

So my only point is don't get a lame ass powered bike, just to avoid having to use a little restraint in the wrist. Some day you may grow out of the power and then get bored and sell at a big loss. A 400 is great! I think that is almost 80hp , maybe more like 500's produce in the 80's i forget...

i didnt think there was a wr450x, is the 450 fuel injected?

$6k for a 250cc supermoto? :rolleyes: No thanks!

i'll wait to buy one used... supermotos seem to have horrible resale value. it DOES look alot better than the drz in my opinion and it alot lighter, but the drz is a 400 and has a ton of mods out for it already, and is in the same ballpark price range.

edit: plus i think the new white color scheme would be dead sexy with a black seat and no stickers...

I don't think there is...yet. I'm sure it's on its way though. I'm surprised that they didn't come out with a 450X first. Yamaha doesn't have a Fuel injected dirt bike out right now but I bet they will within the next couple of years.

BTW $6k for that bike seems reasonable considering the price tag for the regular WR250F dirtbike is $6400

i am going to find a drz. there's no replacement for displacement. i weigh damn near 200lbs. Idk if i will buy one new that is alot of money when i can get a modded used one for $2k cheaper

yeah i'm not saying i would buy one new but a white/black theme would look good. i would probably try to find an 05/06 one with low miles for decently cheap, i have seen them going for as low as 3000-3500 on ebay and craigslist.
