    Looks like it could be for an hour to try.
    Fun to pin it and float the front wheel through some gears.
    It would fun to feel one stop on a dime with much less effort from high speeds.
    So while on gas hard or stopping hard, this would be fun.
    Is for riding to work, on a Sunday in the city?
    On a track with other sports bikes it would be surely slow as its ability to carve a corner with the others might be way more work.
    I have rode mine around with a 250 and the 400 in my 88 WR on the street. It's hard to putt or to find the sweet spot to cruz along at in a steady RPM with a single 2 stroke. They struggle with steady speeds on flat roads, they like it on with a steady incline in revs or just off the gas. I get bored on the street, cops and bad drivers on and on, its fun for an hour few times a years only for me..

    What ever! Boring is having 10 bikes that all basically all the same. Stock is Boring.
    By the way it's a Blast to ride on back country roads , will Dust my Aprilia SXV450 and is a real head turner.

    YA, I do Thanks, I just put new V-Force reeds in it yesterday and wanted to try a Keihin Pwk A/S. It was off my 300. I tried a new JD kit for 250-500, with no luck, so! I'll be goin back to a Mikuni TMX what I normally use on my Swedes.

    These came in form the UK!! Get one while they're Hot! and before they're all Gone!

    wr250edit1.jpg wr250edit2.jpg Hi all,

    I just picked up what I believe is a 1976 250wr but I am not certain. Previous owner said that the guy he bought it from was into racing and had the engine blueprinted swapped an automotive coil in, made other various suspension upgrades such as the rear reservoir shocks, changed the sprockets for more low end, and probably more that I have not found yet. Can anyone give me some input as to which year/model I have and if you see anything that is obviously wrong let me know, I have been soaking the cylinder in marvel for a few days as it has been sitting for years and I want to try to start it without tearing it down. I am open to any and all advice as this is my first motorcycle/dirt bike (aside from a 79 Honda z50r).
