125-200cc cr vs. wr??

Just bought a CR 125 2012 from MotoXotica for my wife now I want one for myself! One of the coolest bikes I have rode in a long time.
Oh and it was way cheaper than a WR.

Congrats to her! Awesome bikes; love my WB165. You know you need one for yourself now .

Worken on that.

Getting close to making a purchase. Lets get one more talley! Cr or wr? I like the possibility of having a headlight but... is the Cr really that much better and easier to work on? Wanting to ride t rail and boulder technical routes

Well the extra flywheel will help there and with the new ignition, larger tank, and kick stand the WR might be best. Just skip right to the 144. You will need to do some jetting with the WR but lots of thoughts on that here. Send me your 125 top end and I will convert it to 165 and then you will rule that kind of riding.

Pretty much what wallybean said... Spot on exactly IMO...

AND.... The WR comes with an 18" reare wheel, vs the 19" on the CR

The CR can ride any technical trail the WR can. The kickstand and larger tank would be the biggest bonus.

I could kick my own butt for not welding a kick stand tab on my CR frame before having it powder coated . I cheated and added the WB165, EXP, and SmartCarb to my CR125 so I can do anything with it but park without a tree or stand. Honestly I rode a friends 09 WR and I liked it too and if I just rode trails I would maybe possibly consider getting one of them WR's .

i have a WR and understand what these guys are saying... double edge...

in the wide open and MX'y stuff, i'm cursing the bike wanting more 'tune', 'snap', 'consistency' and 'spunk'... in the tight, nasty and technical, i'm all smiles and never even THINK about any of that stuff. all i do is praise my little goat for getting me through with grit and prowess.

for me, tuning the WR165 has been well worth it. still more to go but the bike is fantabulous in the woods

18" rear + kickstand = mo-betterer

I just like the wr suspention better. but just rejetting your suspention can change that.
