| Hello from Delaware!
Just took delivery of a 2010 Wr250X with a little over 1000 miles on it!
Took a quick ride and here are my first impressions
- bike feels very light and very easy to move around in, compared to my sm610 it feels like this bike weighs 50 lbs.
- bike doesnt have the low end grunt that the husky has of course but no vibration and the motor reminds me more of a small 2 stroke with its powerband and seemingly endless rev limit
-overall quality of everything seems top notch like you would expect from honda or yamaha
Cant wait to throw some parts on it! | |

| Funny, I've always lusted after a SM610. I looked at a few Huskys but never test drove one. I realized that for what I needed, a 250 was good enough, and the WRx seemed like a better overall bike.
You say an endless rev limit, I find I bounce off it way too soon... | |

Gets better gas mileage at least lol I guess im used to riding the husky which seems to slam into the rev limit very quickly so it felt like the wr250 had lots and lots of revs - motokid wrote:

Im in Middletown right next to Mtown high. Im throwing a 12T on the front so we will see if I can smash into the rev limiter quicker :) | |
