I am considering buying an 87 WR 250 in what looks to be good running condition. Haven't checked it out yet but saw a vid of it running. Anyway my plan would be to use it for trail riding but also to strip the enduro hardware off and run it a the track and maybe even enter a few evo mx events with it. I'm not a serious motocrosser by any stretch so it would just be for fun so my question is would this bike serve that purpose? Is it the same bike as an XC only with lights ? Would an XC or CR sub frame bolt up or would it be ok to cut the frame loop off ? Any opinions are greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone,
As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!

please dont cut the frame loop, i would gladly trade for a loop, as i have a few cr/xc subs..yes the subs will swap between 87-88 2 strokes. the wr basically just sits lower than xc/cr bikes, in a nutshell..
awesome bike for the trails, but require some revalving for track work..imho these bikes dont shine there, but are excellent for off road work and very comfy!

Justintendo, I might be interested in a subframe swap at some point as I have 4 WRs and 1 XC bike.
