Hello, I just picked up a WR250R. In fact, the craigslist ad for it was mentioned in the WR Forum on ADVrider, and in spite of what was speculated there, the owner wouldn't come down on the price. It was a good price anyway.
I love the bike. I've been looking for one like this for a long time and Yamaha finally built it. I really don't ride dirt, but the potholes here give the suspension a good workout. I use my bikes for my transportation as much as possible all year round here in Chicago. It was 8 deg f this morning, so the ride was a bit chilly, but the bike fired right up.
Be talking with ya.
