125-200cc 1999 WR 250

I got back into riding recently, and have a 1977 360 WR and a 1974 250 WR (bikes from when I used to ride a lot). Great bikes, but I thought I might get something a little newer (just a little). I came across this, and its not too far away. Any advice? Were these good bikes? Parts availability? Any input will be appreciated.

Nice looking 99. They are good bikes and it was the start of the production run from 1999 thru 2014 so a lot of the stuff is easily available. The one item that is lacking is OEM shrouds and side panels but you can buy them from DC plastics.

that is a nice bike
looks almost new

Thanks

did you buy it???

Not yet, and I may not. I have the two 70s Huskys, and I just lost spark again on the '74 250. I'm not sure that I want another older bike. I may wait a bit and go for a newer bike, and with an electric start. Trying to figure it out. Thanks.

the "magic" button is helpful, when you stall it in some odd angle and a bad position, just push the button and off you go
have one of those

I still have my Italian Husky's and pretty sad that l don't ride them anymore in the hard stuff only because l love that magic button as 2premo pointed out...plus it's less taxing on the body trying to kickstart a bloody 360 with the front wheel sliding, trying to hold the clutch in at the same time not wanting to slide back further..then you get 4 ft and stall it again...arrrgghhh

been there done that

Not sure why the 360 didn't make it up the hill, they will climb anything.

he forgot the mission
to go up the hill to fetch a pail of fun

but yeah they are climbing machines

LoL...ohh the bike will climb up anything...pity about the pilot
