I got a 2008 this year and it is a total blast. I ride everyday commuting to work and sometimes on the Angels Crest Highway in the Twisties. It is the best California commuter because it's so light and nimble. I've had an FZR 600, CBR 1000, and Honda 750 Ace Deluxe. The WR250X is by far the funnest bike out of those, even on the road alone.
My speedo freaked out and shows 3 x the speed I am actually going. It causes it to run like shit with hard stutters all the way up the gears.
