125-200cc 2013 - wr or cr 125

I'm looking to build a wb165 woods bike and the 2013's are on sale...the CR's seem to be $500+ cheaper than the WR's. Any reason to splurge for the WR?

There are quite a few WR vs CR 125 threads that are worth reading to get all the different opinions. Personally you can't go wrong either way. I went with the WR to get the bigger tank, kickstand, and to a lesser degree the softer suspension. Suspension is just a matter of tweaking/re-valve to suit and you will need to do that with either. The CR ignition is the main reason to go with the CR in my opinion as you can make either suspension work well. The newer WR's from 12 on have the Ducati Digital ignition so it is far superior to the old analog ignition and doesn't have as much flywheel weight. I don't have a preference when it comes to the 18 vs 19 rear wheel.

The ignition is much less of a concern if you are going the 165 route. By the time you get it set up for woods you will have the same money in both.

Good luck.
