    Great video mate
    I really appreciate the different perspective of the two bikes you have done.
    As I’m in the market for a DRZ400 but have recently come across the WF250 and that bike has really caught my eye lately.

    The best comparison between these two bikes to be found on the interweb. Period.

    Another great and highly detailed video! Thanks for telling us you’re WR250R bar, riser, cables, throttle flip over maneuver and foot pegs you’re using. I’m guessing I’ll do the same thing with my bars, risers and cables. Thanks again for all that you do!

      This was the best comparison video I have ever viewed. I have owned 2 drz 400s and I have tested ridden and almost purchased a low mileage wr250r. This video provides the best information about the wr250r I've ever seen on RUclips. It makes me want to get a wr250r. Please keep up the great work!

    Whenever I ride one I eventually start missing the other. I think I might just buy a drz as a second bike alongside my wr250r. Awesome in depth video btw

    Thanks for the video! I recommend to everyone who is faced with the choice of which motorcycle to choose. I own a DRZ400S myself and plan to change to a WR250R. Only because the gearbox in the DRZ400S (the first gear is too long and the fifth gear is too short) and with such a long first gear the sharp strong motor makes the DRZ400S often unsafe in technical situations

    Awesome video, thanks! Really helped me decide between these two bikes that I've been struggling with. Appreciate all your insight! Currently have a '14 CRF250L but it's time for a change.

    Im struggling a lot with my 08 WR in tight single track technical trails. Holding balance is tricky and when it starts to tip over, recovery is close to impossible.
    All this time I thought it just had to do with its sheer weight…. But after watching this video, I’m also having an “ah ha” moment. I ordered a 13/50 sprocket setup from Rocky Mountain. Hoping this can help out more and not require me to slip the clutch as much. To be continued.zz

    As a guy who is also 6'7" and about 280, I really appreciate this video. I've had a bunch of street bikes and only a few dirt bikes (KTM 450 SXF, CR250, etc) and never felt like I fit well on a dirt bike. The closest to fitting well on a bike thats good off road is my current KTM 950 adventure. I guess I need to try out a WR250. Where in the country do you ride? Looks like a lot of fun.

    • @OgreMoto

      I’m in the Midwest, and when modded, yeah it’s pretty comfy! Just rode some single track with it yesterday! The DRZ is pretty good when modded out too!

      Thanks for the reply. I'm in the midwest, too. We ride atvs and sxs up in Mountain, WI and have been checking out some trails in MI too. One of these days I'll find a WR250 to throw a leg over. My cousin has a DRZ, but I've never ridden it. I've got some work to do.

      Yes I have. Not a super good ride for super tall folk, very cramped. Very good bike otherwise.

    Hi I own a wr250r and i agree great dual sport bike and you can get a big bore kit for the wr250r is fitting a big bore kit to the 250r worth the money and needed you think

    • @OgreMoto
      @OgreMoto  2 года назад +1

      I’d only get a big bore kit if the top end goes on your WR. If you want more power just buy a DRZ or something else.

      I’ve ridden a klx250 which is identical except for engine displacement. They’re decent bikes for sure. With more power on the 300 I wouldn’t hesitate to buy one.

    Wich bike would better climb big uphills? Would the wrr be handicapped by its lack of power despite its weight?
    Thank you. I ride off-road only znd I'm hesitating between those two.
