Hello from central Florida

Hi. Long time rider (REALLY long time....I'll probably be one of the resident old farts). Looking at options for a dual sport and landed on the WR250. Just looking around for info, nit picks, mods, ways to deal with seat height (yes, already searched and have read a lot).

I am a performance automotive calibrator/tuner, specializing in 2007+ Ford GT500s. You can take a look at my site, venomous tuning dot com, if you're bored or interested.

Last two bikes were complete opposites; Ducati S4Rs and a Suzi Burgman 650. The Duc for getting places quickly and fun and the Burgman for comfort and storing a bunch of crap under the seat. Others have ranged from a few Harleys to a couple of GoldWings and a bunch of stuff in between.

Raced motocross from age 13 to around 21-22. (This is the part when I live up to the ''old fart'' part.....first "new" race bike was an Elsinore. THE Elsinore. CR250M 1973).

Anyway, I'm off to read and learn. Thanks for having a place to do so.

Central Florida WRR here as well. Also raced moto some years back. Speaking of Elsinores, was racing moto at Bithlo one evening when Mark Barnett shows up for the A class with an old Elsinore 250. Something special to watch him school the local fast A riders, riding current machines (90's, 250 2 strokers). Mark EASILY spanked the fast guys and even cleared the triple on the old Elsinore. It's not the bike...
