db5304 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Decided I wanted a dual sport as i used to love offroad riding. I did a lot of research and ended on the wr250r, couldn't find one used, so bought new and had it delivered today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off-road/woods riding is my first love. Were it not for a fluke knee injury I'd probably still be riding one. My last big hurrah was a 7-day US border-to-Cabo San Lucas trip. Truly a dream ride. New Years Day, 2010, just north of Cabo on the old, traditional Baja 1000 course: Keep Asheville weird! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duhs10 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Been thinking about a dual sport myself. I really like the WR250R, but will probably end up with a DRZ400 or DR650 simply because there are more on the used market... have fun man! I'm jealous... '15 FJ-09 w/ lots of extras...

Premium Member 1moreroad Posted January 22, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted January 22, 2017 My FJ replaced a WR250X. It was a FUN bike. Ran knobbies on the 17s when I wanted to get dirty. Unfortunately my buddy with a dual sport moved too far away. The WR was not quite enough of a street bike unless you lived up the road from the Dragon (best bike EVAR there), but I had a lot of fun being able to ride down any road up to a local motocross track when it was still around and even local lake bottoms.

The WR was not quite enough of a street bike unless you lived up the road from the Dragon (best bike EVAR there), but I had a lot of fun being able to ride down any road up to a local motocross track when it was still around and even local lake bottoms.I also had a WR250X. I had a second set of 21 & 18" wheels for knobbies, on WRX hubs. I sold mine because passing became dangerous on tight twisty roads. I'd catch up to a cage, then couldn't safely pass it. I replaced my WR250X with a KTM 690 Enduro. Same weight, but with 65 HP. It passes just fine, and loves to wheelie. My FJ-09 and KTM 690 Enduro complement each other well. 8-) FJ-09, 690 Enduro R. Back Roads. Period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duhs10 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I want to get a dual sport as my 2nd bike by the end of this year. Really like WR250Rs but hard to find them used so I will probably end up with a DRZ400. '15 FJ-09 w/ lots of extras...

auggydoggy Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Just traded in my WR250r when I bought the FJ09. I think its a great bike, can do everything on and off road. But I missed the power of a large street bike, a bigger gas tank, and Im too old for off road. Congrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member builderbob Posted November 20, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted November 20, 2017 I had one. Actually, a WR-X that I converted to an R. Lots of mods on this one, including a big bore kit. Sold it when I became overcome with lust for a KTM 500 EXC. Still have a relatively fresh stock spare engine in the garage.

oldfart Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 The secret is to have one of everything! Preferably in red. That's a CRF250L Honda in the upper left next to the FJ09. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db5304 Posted November 29, 2017 Author Share Posted November 29, 2017 That is awesome. Just kicked up a beta myself. Now ill think I'll keep the wrr until the t7 comes out. Have a dirt street and adventure. The fj is now gone. But the fjr is a great bike for what I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crd Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I spent a weekend in Northern California on a friend's WR250R a couple of years back when my own DR650 was acting up and absolutely adored it! I hope you enjoy your new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
