There's two kinds of serious off-road riders. The first
group consists of competitive cross-country racers, who
love to see if they can get from here-to there-Ja,ster and
quicker than anyone else. The second group is recreational riders who dedicate a weekend of off-roading in search
of the ultimate trail. Both groups ride WR250s.• Based on
YZ technology, the WR250 has been modified to specifically
meet the needs of off-road riders. With one of--t:he strongest
engines in its class, the WR has a torquey, wide powerband
that's exceptionally smooth and easy to con·trol. It uses a
wide ratio transmission, with low first and second gears
for tight sections, and wide ratio fifth and sixth gears for
open terrain .• Since it's designed to withstand long,
marathon events, the WR250 has a large air cleaner box
capacity and oversize air filter to allow the engine to
breathe more efficiently. It uses a beefy clutch and plates
for longer life under extreme use. And it's equipped with a
lighting coil so you can power accessories like enduro
running lights or a Baja-style headlight.• There's other
serious touches too, like front and rear disc brakes and a
wrap-around chain guide for more reliability in rough
terrain and deep ruts.• The WR250. It offers just as much
performance to the serious recreational rider as it does to
the serious racer.
