Thinking of getting a 250R, does anyone have one and can tell me what they are like to ride, especially on trails/ green lanes?

Ive seen parts are pritty easy to get hold of and i know it will be reliable.

Cheers

I've got the 250R. I find it fine for both off & on roading. The only downside I've found when green laning is its a bit heavy.

Unless you go trail riding on a c90 or DT you wont find much lighter. Try a Drz 400, there heavy but very capable. Ive never met anyone with a bad wr. Although some say they wish they had bought a 450.

The R looks a really good bike as the service intervals are well spread, looks pretty and isnt as highly strung as the F model. The only reason i dont own one is the price! Its ridiculously high for a 250 trail bike when you can pick up a drz or similar for a fraction of the cost and will go on for ever.

Or if its just for green laning maybe look at a ktm 250 exc-f? Will most likely be cheaper and is a lot lighter and are also very reliable.

I also wish the made a modern wr 400r that would be awesome!
