Used WR250R Purchase

I am considering the purchase of a 2008, one owner, WR250R that was purchased as new in 2010. Could some tell me about any significant differences b/w 2008 and 2011 models. The bike in question has 526 miles and the asking price is $4000. Thanks

Nothing except graphics and fork color.

Thanks for the update...it helps me to make my decision

I would buy that bike for $4000,,it's practically brand new,,are there any extras with the bike,,that would only make that an even better deal,,,,good luck,, Jason

Yo Jason,
I did place a deposit on the bike and will drive from Denver to Salt Lake ,on Monday, to pick it up. It has some basic upgrades: 12 tooth primary, Accerbis hand guards, aluminum skid plate, Pro-Taper bars, Speedo Healer, and Pro moto billet tail rack. Job one will be VIN verification, registration and titling on Colorado. Then it goes on a diet, gets Yamalink-ed, stage one uncorking (air box / pipe etc.) and lower seat, levers, 3.1 IMS, K&N, and tail light cosmetics. I'll likely pass on any big bore stuff as I worry about reliability.....we'll see, if it has sufficient oomph to pull my 180 pounds to 13K ft here in Colorado I doubt it will need additional tweaking. Should that be indicated, hopefully my buddy Eddie Sisneros can do his magic with a Power-Commander EFI mapping. I'm hoping to have street legal ride that is small and light enough to hit some high altitude single track trails. Last summer I did the New Mexico, Colorado TAT and Utah as far as Moab. My highly un-stock DRZ400 did fine but I always like a winter project as high Country riding usually shuts down here around November 1st. At nearly age 62 I like to tinker when the sunny days fade into fall. Thanks for your input.

Congrats on the bike! Let us know how it goes.

Edit: Just noticed the YamaLink for sale in the Fleamarket

Can't wait for the pics!!

Thanks to you all for the nice welcome and good wishes. Today I sold my 2004 BMW GS1150 so I am clearly downsizing. It was a bitter sweet parting but after two shoulder surgeries in '05 and '06 that rig just got heavier each year.

Got it new in 2004 and sold it with 6084 miles on the clock so you can see it was gathering dust. At least I'll have a farkle fund for the new baby WR250R.
