One point to also mention is that the non-standard fairing offers a large amount of wind protection, where the standard bike has significantly less. I weigh at least 20% more in my gear. Overall height: 1230mm The KLX may have been a bit less than the WR – 88mpg was the best. And once you learn how, many of the hooligan antics—wheelies, sliding, burnouts, etc.—that would land you in jail on the street are par for the course off-road. Jumping off and getting the bike turned around by hand is also an easy job if it gets really rough, and if you were to be really challenging yourself the WR250R would be my choice of motorcycle to do it on, as it’s that perfect balance of performance and well-mannered handling. They knew my weight from before. See this for the full story. The WR-R’s design can’t take the pounding that its tougher enduro-inspired sibling can, but unlike many dual-sports it was built more for off-road than road, so you can tackle some pretty gnarly single-track terrain, ruts, rocks and jumps if it’s not too heavily loaded. OK, load it all up once again, and unload one more time when you get home. Heading onto unsealed roads, fire trails and even a bit of single trail our WR250R proves a capable performer here too. I’m pretty sure a WR450R could be that bike, but Yamaha won’t be making those before the Chinese get there first.You know what, for normal overland travels rather than gnarly, hardcore off-road exploring (not the sort of riding I do) I think I’d almost settle for a latest CRF250L (a couple more horsepowers) with some decent suspension. The stock tank is a slim steel item, while the test bike featured a Safari larger capacity version. The swingarm is a cast aluminium asymmetrical item, with extruded arms and a 22mm rear axle. As an outsider the world of off-roading can be quite the mystery, but the WR250R is a great place to start looking, and is powered by a low maintenance DOHC single-cylinder with electric start, EFI engine with a six-speed gearbox. Wheels are a 21in front which takes a 80/100-21 and 120/80-18in rear and are of course spoked, taking tubes. I fitted a Trail Tech temp gauge (left). Project 2019 Yamaha WR250R Tenere joins the BikeReview.com.au stable until the end of the year. By then the preload was surprisingly maxed out. Wash the bike, drain its carburetor if it has one (and the bike will sit for a while until the next ride), get cleaned up and collapse on the couch. I was very careful to ride the bike on the temp gauge mounted off an exhaust header – generally cruising at 100-110°C. The WR250R retains a high level of overall specification though with fully adjustable suspension at both ends, an aluminium frame, and a surprisingly high performance power plant. Novice rider tackles Ride ADV Womens-only ride, Throwback Thursday: All Original Restoration – Ducati 900 SS. Once you acquire some basic off-road riding skills, either on your own, by riding with friends or at a training school, there’s nothing quite like the thrill of exploring single-track trails, conquering hill climbs, sand washes and desert moguls or dark forest paths between trees. Suspension: Fully adjustable USD forks, 270mm travel, fully adjustable Monocross rear shock, 270mm travel Klim Dakar 2016 ITB quick test, KLR650s in Canada’s Yukon, BC & NWT (2001), Why Honda’s new CT125 makes a great adv (and why it doesn’t). For the least weight and most performance, the European makers like KTM and Husqvarna offer some very serious (and expensive) lightweight dual-sports. The WR250R’s liquid-cooled single is based on the F’s 250cc race-ready enduro motor and shares the same bore and stroke, but among other changes has lower compression and mellower cam profiles for more street tractability. I did all the usual things to the WR; protection; tyres; bigger tanks and luggage capacity. The WR250R has a lightweight aluminium semi double-cradle frame. iirc.So you can safely rely on 25kpl from the WR which, x 17 litres is an impressive, butt-numbing 425 clicks guaranteed, or more like 500.But, as I ask here: is a small bike really more economical?
