You'd be surprised at how many guys automatically think a bike is street-legal when they see lights on it.

Too bad I'm not in the market for a new dirt bike.
The 2015 WR250F looks like fun.

40 lb lighter than what? Yes it is lighter than the WRR and hopefully the new wide ratio transmission is actually wide ratio.

But it's still a bit heavy compared to some of the European bikes. It will be interesting to read some actual ride reviews and find out how it handles.

This is true but not nearly to the degree that people think it is. KTM lists weights "dry' , while Japanese bikes are listed "wet". When you account for this the difference is not that great - couple/few pounds depending on model. It's amazing how many guys in the orange mafia run around claiming their bikes weigh 20 lbs less than your Red/Green/Blue bike.

OP, The WRF is nothing like the WRR. Not even close. Even if you could get a tag for the F, you are left with a lousy street bike stock. You would have to change sprockets at bare minimum and don't even think about taking those stock tires on pavement (I hit the deck hard with them once).

Consider this: The first valve inspection on the R2 is due at 24K miles. It's 600 miles on the F. It's a different beast. They have the same color plastics, that's it.

PostSubject: Wet weight   2015 wr250F EmptyFri Dec 05, 2014 6:41 pm

That got my interest, so I did a bit of research on the interweb.  I tried to find actual scale weights.

2012 KTM 250xcf-w 236 lb + 2*6.3 lb/gal = 249 lb.

2015 WR250f  includes 2 gal fuel (mfg data) 258 lb.  

Sherco 300i            229 lb + 2*6.3 lb/gal = 242 lb.

2012 KTM 350exc-f  247 lb + 2*6.3 lb/gal = 260 lb.   ------- this one is DOT street legal


I got the Sherco because it is light weight, and because it is NOT ORANGE!!

Road registrable in Australia wings

But really it would be no replacement for a WRR, Id have to rebuild it every month if I commute on it.
