Just to show you I'm not biased and for those obvious Yamaha knockers here I'm currently looking at a WR250F with Sawyers - great bike to replace my Suz but I'm such a short dude we are having to work on how to lower it satisfactorily. When you are 165cm tall and the seat is near as damn it at 100cm you've got a problem (in this case I've got a problem). Definitely not made for the domestic Japanese market where they are mainly about my height.

I wouldn't mind trying to stay with Honda dirt bikes but they let me down a few years ago by going off-road only with most models and the CRF250X will be the same hence I'm looking at the road legal WR250F.

Gidday Merv, I had a 2002 WR250 from new, dam good bike, still got a few bits for it in the shed, if you get one let me know, I'll send you the stuff, Filters, spare bar, jets that sort of stuff.

Firefight,

Bit heavier & slower, but cheaper yep for sure, one area were Suzuki are onto it, also they seem more keen to cut deals DRZ are going well atm, lot of new ones seen out @ Woodhill over last few months. All and all not a bad choice.
