[x_quizit08]

guess the drz has a close rival in sg den...hahaha

considering its yamaha and its fuel capacity is 7.6 litres..wow!...

wondering hows the fuel consumption is like....

[UrAaYu]

Price like?

[Wayang]

i duno abt it being a rival to the drz.. becos there is quite a big diff in capacity.. but i realli dig the looks.. my onli concern is the power.. i NEED torque..

[Shiloh]

in the US this bike is a rival to drz!

its proven faster than the drz on track!

[trial-sin]

its da rider.. not da ride..

 

one of da sm race last yr won by a drz if i`m not wrong.. =)

[Lion]

Price?????

[trial-sin]

i heard its gonna be arnd da 10k region.. =X

[x_quizit08]

hmm..awaiting confirmation if anyone noes the price...and yes..it is the rider not the ride...but sumtimes..if good rider, slow ride oso never noe wat happen..hahaha..

but if 10k region considered ok rite?..for 250cc...den again duno wats the potential of this bike...

[x_quizit08]

btw, trial-sin..u were at regina ard last weds rite?...saw ur bike outside wen i went to ah boy ard 7 plus...

[trial-sin]

yeapz.. was there to accompany my fren to get sum stuffs.. =) didnt see ur bike lei..?

[Shiloh]

yup. it may be the rider.

and the thing is, its the same rider, who owns a wrx and drz.

but sometimes a bike spec might help a bit more.

sheds the few needed 1 sec or 0.01 sec tht is crucial to your lap time.

especially when the 250x is lighter, maybe it'll handles better.

but heck its all debatable

 

my comments are all based for track use only.

not for road use. hehe.

dont wanna encourage riders to speed on the road.

[trial-sin]

true2.. sumtimes.. a better machine makes a better rider.. =)

 

let`z see who`z da ferz to get it n see his comments fer diz monster.. =)

[Seventh Son]

I was very interested in the WR until I heard the price $15750 OTR without insurance. Went down personally to hong leong to enquire, no bull. Way overpriced for 250cc. Anyways bike undergoing homologation now and should be ready for registration few weeks from now.

[Shiloh]

whoa. 16k for the bike?? gulp.

hmmm. hopefully it'll go down some how.

HOPEFULLY.

time to pray harder. lol.

[trial-sin]

wow~.. 16k.. sheesh..! i feel its overpriced too fer a 250cc.. hopefully dey`ll revise da price again.. =)

[Shiloh]

it maybe a new technology and all with the efi.

but how to attract ppl with a price tht scares ppl away.

might as well get a 2nd hand 400cc bike and mod it with the money. hehe.

HL pls revise the price!

i was so looking forward to this bike since last year.

[Wayang]

16k ?!?! wat the..

[psychex]

lolx for the power its all worth it. still waiting to see the bike @ the showroom thou.

[aRcHeR]

R n X model as state in yamaha webbie.. legal this year.. not sure if they make the F model legal... if they make it legal it is gonna be happening together with the CRF250X!!

 

wr250f is legal on the road. lta given the green light already.

[Shiloh]

hmm. considering tht too.

i know the sexy wrf is a trail ready bike,

but is it advisable to use it for transport

and weekly trails?

[hitman]

$16K!!! wow. DRZ here i come.

[Shiloh]

went to see it today.

nice features.

smaller built than the drz.

smaller seat space.

so pillion has to squeeeeeeze into the seat.

seat height, not too high not too low.

[hitman]

according 2 the specs the seat ht. is 895mm which is 5mm higher than DRZ.

[Shiloh]

lol.

5mm from shoe to ground makes alot of diff sometimes.

seriously i couldnt stop caressing tht bike!

[hitman]

HL display 2 unit of the WR250X which is blue in colour. is tt the only colour available?
