Hey guys I am looking for advice on buying a couple WR250R's. My DR650 was my first bike, got the beginning of 2016, I am doing way more trail riding than I thought and it is way too heavy and sloppy on the trails and hard to pick up. I think the WRR will be a lot better on the trail and also take me on the long road rides.
I am looking at a couple WR250R's:
One is a 16' almost brand new, mint with under 400 miles stock with Cycra hand guards. $5500 The seller bought it and expected more power so unloading it. He is the second owner actually, so I guess the previous owner thought the same thing. He has a transferable 4 year warranty on it as well.
The second is a 14' the guy bought as a leftover and only put on 1400miles. $5k
First oil change was last fall at the first service he said, guessing around 1,000 miles. He wasn't sure, (so wasn't really watching closely I guess) and I think that is longer than Yamaha's first oil change recommendation.
Many addon's and all stock parts taken off too:
All the usual airbox uncork/exup delete
FMF programmer
Megabomb header/powercore muffler
46T sprocket
zeta handguards/protaper bars/ODI Emig V2 lock on grips
Flatland racing skidplate
Dunlop 606 knobbie tires
12oClock Labs Speedometer Calibrator
Overall the second bike seems like a pretty good deal with all the upgrades. He rode like %40 off road, the cases have a few scratches that look normal for having done some offroading. The full FMF exhaust is ~750 and knobbies could be used now for local trails now since it's too cold for road rides, but after winter I'd switch tires for more on road, and in all honesty I might take the exhaust off since I prefer to be quiet. The bars could be personal preference if I don't like the bend. I'd for sure want the skidplate, handguards, and would definitely want to uncork either bike.
For some reason I still lean towards the 2016 although 2 owners, I like that it's clean and feel I would like to feel the power stock then the power difference of upgrades. I like a vehicle unmolested by others :) Maybe just oversensitive since I'd dirty and drop them both etc.
What do you think?
