Why I'm Selling my Yamaha WR250R after 6 months - Yamaha WR250R Owner Review

Why I’m selling my Yamaha WR250R I bought the Yamaha WR250R about six months ago for the purposes of learning how to ride off road. It’s lightweight, agile, and has enough power to be a good entry into the off road world. It’s got long travel suspension and with mods it can be pretty comfortable. I bought a 2nd hand WR250R so that I wouldn’t have to worry about dropping it, and dropping it plenty of times is what I did. It came with a couple of adventure mods, making it appropriate for long distance adventure riding. Over the last 6 months I’ve added about 7000kms and most of that has been off road. So in this video let me tell you about my experience with this bike and why I’m selling it. First things first, I don’t think I could have picked a better dual sport for learning to ride off road. The WR is lightweight, agile and forgiving of all of the mistakes I made. In the last six months I have probably crashed it about 20 times, some of those were captured on camera and some weren’t. It has been a painful learning experience but I was surprised with how much of a beating this bike could take and still come out undamaged. The only thing that would be damaged during a crash was me, sustained a few bruises and a very bruised ego. But the WR didn’t give a fuck about my ego, it was ready to hammer it through every trail that I’d take it to, even when it was beyond my skill level, I was able to push through steep hill climbs and trails that just scared me, all because the WR would somehow keep upright. Every time I’d drop the bike it would be easy to pick up, weighing only 130kgs with fuel. The stock suspension is just amazing on the WR and it absorbs some of the most intense whoops with ease. Also the compression when coming off a jump is just confidence inspiring. It was when I crossed the Simpson Desert, which consists of 500 kms worth of parallel sand dunes, one after the other that the Yamaha WR250R really shined and all of the off road riding practice I had done finally showed. I was able to fly through the desert, gliding up the sand dunes with ease on the WR250R which is where it really showed what it was capable of. The only thing I wished at the time was that it had a bit more power, so that I could go even harder. When riding on the road though is where the problem lied. The WR would rev pretty high when doing 110km/h highway speeds and would be easily affected by the wind. This made it really tiresome when riding long distances because the wind resistance was too much and the bike would struggle and chew through fuel doing higher speeds. This is ultimately what let me down and hence I decided that a bike like the Yamaha Tenere 700 would be much more suitable to my riding needs. Don’t get me wrong if I had a 4WD or another means of transporting my WR to the trails, I’d keep it.. because that’s where it would shine, off road. But in order to get to some of those trails I’d have to ride an hour or two hours on the highway and that would just be such a boring and painful ride. So in the end I thank the WR for being such an awesome bike, protecting me on some decent crashes, teaching me how to ride off road and to date being the most fun bike that I have ever ridden. But I’ve outgrown it and ready to move onto a dual sport that has much more power and can take me in greater comfort to my next destination.
