All 2st I'm torn!! Which one to buy??

I'm torn between the wr250 and 300. Here in Hawaii I ride super tight and tech trails. Bar banging tight most of the time. I'm coming off the Ktm 300 and buying a husky. Killer deals on the 250 but will it be enough of a tractor? Help I'm torn. I suppose if I don't like the 250 I can always get the 300 kit later? Can you guys give me your real life pros and cons to each bike. Thanks and aloha

ive got a 250WR its great for technical riding. it doesn't tire you out like a 300.

Sick!!! Maybe I should get a 250 and try it out for a bit. That looks like the tight stuff I ride. The neat thing is I can always make it a 300 later. Just a tough choice cause I have never ridden a husqvarna smoker except for a 82 430 I think it was. I went from a 08 Ktm 200 to a 300.

The 09 250 is a 5 speed? And the 300 is a 6 speed? Humm dosent matter only time I get about 3rd is on fire roads which isn't very often

The 250 has lots of bottom as long as the jetting is on. I put a JD kit and a 4.0 slide or you could do the PWK carb

Will a pwk 36 work? I got a spare from my Ktm

both are 5spds i think, the only change is the cylinder.

I think what I'm most scared about is the power delivery. I just hope the wr250 isn't explosive like a rm250.

My 2010 300 is 5-speed! I just jet it right to make it smooth on light throttle and i don´t get tired out of it. i run lean jetting for smooth powerdelivery and a needle that makes it easy to control. Then i don´t get a bludder as i open the throttle, and then an abrupt powerhit. You could also change the throttlecam for a more progressive powerdelivery. I would go for the 300 of course as i have one! It depends on your physique too! I love my 300 compared to the KTM 300, because my bike is smoother off throttle!

Killing me!! Haha as far as my physique.. I'm 5'10 165 and fit

300! i have no problem with it being too powerful in the tight woods. i also use my bike on the icetracks now in the winter and for motard in the summer, so i like the power for that too! I am 5`7 and 193 pounds and fit too despite my high age at 45=).

i dont see how the 300 tires you out. I find it very easy to ride, can only tire you out as much as you twist the throttle :P

Have you sat on one - I am 6 ft and they both look big to me -especially the rear tyre - I like my wee 125
did you prefer the 300 to the 200 if yes then maybe the wr 300 is more for you
Id get the wr150

I bought the 09 wr250. I figured if I ever wand more, when it's time for a top end rebuild, I'll make it a 300. I'm 6'6" and weigh 205lbs and the 250 is plenty for me now. After I ride it it takes days to stop smiling.

my '09 300 is a 5 speed.

I'm 52 and this thing is like a laz-e-boy in the woods, I'm twice as fast and half as tired as I was riding the KDX 200.

Considering the 250 and 300 both weigh the same I wouldn't see there being a lot of difference

I never rode a 300, but I love my 09 WR250 and I also have an 07 KTM 250XCW that I like too. In my opinion the husky handles better and overall has a little more power than the XCW (and it has the SX head). I think the KTM has a little more right off the bottom 'cause of the SX head, but fine tuning the jetting has them really close there. I'm 6'3", 195 lbs, B enduro rider and I mostly ride trails (the tighter and uglier the better). I can't see myself ever needing a 300. I seem to be able to scare myself plenty with the 250.

Well I decided this morning. I really wanted a 300 so..,,, our good friends at motorcycle factory had glenn kearney's 09 wr300 for sale. I'll post up pics later. Not mine yet but putting a deposit until my insurance money comes in and I figure out shipping logistics.

I would like to thank paul at tri county Powersports for his effort. Very helpful

Sweet!

Brandon can you post the pics?
