250-500cc 2000 wr250 dual sport?

was wondering if you can make a 2000 wr250 into a dual sport in VA. I think it would be a good bike for this, with the wide ratio tranny and its very tall 5th gear.

or give me your thoughts on making the 09 wr250 into a DS, looking for something fun to ride to work

I had a 2000 WR250 with Baja Designs kit and rode it on the street. It worked well with stock 13/48 gearing on the street and still was okay in the woods. '00 will be better than '09 for DS.

Find a wrecked WR360 motor and swap the gearbox over...go from 5sp to 6sp??

I got a plated 2009 WR250 I can run around on , and play in the woods on!
I do wish it had a 6 speed though.

I have a 2002 cr250 now with a 2000 wide ratio 5 speed 14/50 sprockets and I can't believe the difference between it and the CR motor. It now flies in high gear. I dual sport it and trail ride. It does great. I'm going to look for a wide ratio or a six speed for the CR motor.
