Life after the TTR

TTRfan · Super Guru

The WR250R is the natural successor to the TTR in terms of being a true dual purpose bike. Fuel injected, water cooled, 6 gears and very capable on or off road.

However, it hasn't got the simplicity of a TTR e.g. the wiring would look more at home on a small aircraft.

I think they are quite common in the States and have quite a lively following.

Honda's XR and Suzuki's DR might be the most comparable -- simple bikes, easy to ride, often street legal in the US, and they've been around long enough that you can find a lightly-used one for cheap. Yamaha also makes an XR but it's ... weak.

In my experience (Oregon/NorCal) the WR can be as hard to find as the TTR, at least the older models, and the newer models are pricey -- that's how I ended up with the TTR. The WR was supposed to be the performance trail bike, closer to the YZ than to the TT or DT. If you can find a 2003-2007 or so WR250F you might get a good deal on a fast bike (especially if its been "uncorked"). But I never see older WRs for sale out here (Oregon).
