lol, just to know a little more... judging on your riding habit how many km/litre? IMPORTANTLY where you bought this baby?

bike is a machine without soul, rider would inject new life and character to this machine

I am running mine at

 

Least 26km per L

Pickup fast on throttle and kicking gears fast

70kmH and occassionally 100kmH

 

 

Max almost 28-29km per L

Disciplined and slow on throttling

60kmH and occassionally 80kmH

 

Everything is stock

 

I believed that it can hit 30km per L as I only did a rough estimation. The moment the fuel hits reserve, I would top up petrol at nearby SHELL station. The above calculation is based on mileage divide by 6L. An average would show 26km++ to 28km++ per L.

 

My Yamaha Spark 135 LE is clocking an average of 33km per L with a low of 26km per L and maximum of 38km per L depending on the throttle discipline and style of changing gears and pickup speed.

 

I would say that the new WR250X, given its gear ratio, its displacement and reasonably good power as compared to the much under powered Spark. Fuel consumption is considered very good for the WRX because you get so much more power as compared to the 135cc. You could see the slight difference in spending on fuel only.

 

I am paying around $60+ for spark FC monthly while the WRX is around $80-90 plus monthly for the same mileage monthly.

 

Definately worth that extra $20++ on fuel to enjoy so much more out of that 250cc!!

 

To me, I don't want to hv a powerful bike that drinks too much and neither do I want a bike that cuts me off alot of power and yet saves me fuel $$. I wants a compromise between power and $$$ savings. Therefore, I am very happy with WRX although it is of lesser power than DRZSM and is more expensive.

Bought from Bike Production. My fuel consumption I'm not too sure. The best I can go with full tank on 5 litre is about 130km.

 

Yes, because I am heavy-handed with the throttle. I only ride the WR250X on weekends or occasional time to work just to enjoy the adrenaline kick and the only way to get that kick is to pedal to the metal man!

 

And so far, i think they only have it in blue.

Full tank according to the factory spec is 7.5L but I haven't try to do an experiment of letting the tank go totally dry and push bike just to find out what is the maximum mileage I can get from a full tank of petrol. I did that on my Yamaha Spark on a few occassion but I am already sweating my pants. Please don't ask me to push the 2A bike to the nearest petrol station so that you can find instant answers cos I think I can die from it...hahaha

 

I am 182m tall, bought at Mah Motor. I go to Defu lane Ah Leong for servicing. So far only change engine oil cos there's no other maintenance as bike is still relatively new.

I happen to saw this WRX running along Lavender Road where Singapore Casket was. Wearing kinda of office attire so I don't know is it anyone here.

 

And I happen to parked my WRX behind another WRX just outside Orchard Towers few months ago...
