WR250X Advice

Hi there,

Im doing my bike test in the next few weeks and was wondering what bike to get for when ive passed
ive been looking around on the internet and i realy like the WR250X, so i was just wondering if this would be
a good bike for a complete beginner, Some places say its not so good for beginners but others say its ideal
so just wanted some light shedding

Cheers in Advance,
Coops

It'll be perfect.

I believe in the UK you can also get the wr125x too right?

Or at least used ones....

I agree. I can't think of a better first bike for someone.

Nice user name

I think you will do fine on a WR/X. These are great engines but very forgiving and easy to ride.

I think the main reason you'll find that some say it's not a good beginner bike is the seat height. If it's too high for you to be comfortable when you come to a stop or whatnot, it might turn you off to riding. If it matters in your case, there are options available to lower the seat height: lowering - click me.

I am in the uk and have just bought a wrx, I have had all sorts of road bikes , r6's vfr's rvf's and lots of trail bikes. I really like the wrx, it's great for short trips and weaving in and out of traffic but does not have much go after 75/80 miles an hour, you can get caught out easily if the car you are over taking decides to put its foot down. ! The ride height is not bad on the wrx with the 17 inch supermoto wheels plus you can loose an inch with the adjuster on the rear suspension.

Cheers for all the help guys, if i was looking at a second hand one what sort of milage should i be looking at as i dont want an old clapped out one

I wouldnt worry too much over mileage. These things will run forever. I personally was looked for a modded one when I was shopping. You can beat the crap out of these bikes and as long as you stay up on maint. it will serve you well.

im looking for a completely stock one i think, unless i find something i like, ive found an 11 plate with around 4000 miles on it for around £3800 does that seem a fair price ??

Sorry for all the questions but i am clueless at the minute

Not familiar with the Euro >USD conversion, nor the prices they go for over there. Sorry. Just keep you eye on the classifieds to get an idea of what is a fair price.

Ok cheers, guys ill post some pics once ive made a purchase

Yeah mate i am, im live just outside blackpool in wrea green

You'll enjoy the little WRX, it's an easy low maintenance bike bike that won't get away from you. Be warrned if you fall for it, it's like a woman, you'll spend a fortune on jewellery for it !

yeah that sounds like what i need, cheers mate

One with a pipe and programmer would be preferable. Youll most likely want them after a month or two of ownership and they will cost you around $400 out of pocket, but if you can find a bike with them already on it, it shouldnt cost any more than a bone stock one.
