  1. not much of a review, more just an ad for the WR. i? love mine, but they definitely have their weak points which this “review” doesn’t even hint at!

  2. @CRaZzYMX

    put a new can on it and take the baffles out, will be MUCH more satisfying to ride? ;)

  3. a great bike but i hate the noise the suspention makes when landing a jump from a metre high or more plus it doesnt seem to have? alot of exitment in the sound and feel. my dad has the WR450 i have a YZ250F I like my bike better its 2009 & they have alot more exitment to them & i do my bike up so awesumly

  4. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL IF THE ENGINE OIL IS SEPERATE FROM THE TRANNY? OIL? OR ARE THEY SHARED?

  5. Do you think this bike will be good for what? i do? i ride like trails, open road, and at mx tracks

  6. @05Atomik the WR250R is for legal street and dirt riding it has head lights,? tail lights, turn signals and a place for a liscence plate.

  7. i wouldn’t recommend stock headlight for night lol I upgraded 2 dual bueli lights on my drz 400e and wow!?

  8. maybe look at something like a Yamaha YZ250F. or a WR250F. the WR is the one that has lights and indicators? so you can ride it on the road provided you have the license

  9. @musiliterart If you want the review you are supposed to go read it on their website. This is just a “sample” or advertisement for their site. They don’t make money off of youtube, they make money on ads on their site, and if people don’t read? their site then they don’t get ads.

  10. perhaps not… a fuel gauge is not common on motorcycles. Does this surprise you? :) Usually you only have a warning light, that’s? it. Some bikes don’t even have that!

  11. that’s actually quite a large problem? when you have 4.6 gallons, and will inevitably drive a SPORTbike as hard as you can.

  12. Can’t they get some hot chick to do? the commentary to make it interesting? This guy is putting me to sleep with his monotone voice.

  13. Well, at least I now? know what it looks like to ride one of these. Rather hear some specs, and useful information that would incline someone to buy this.

  14. If MOTOUSA (and the manufacturers) want us (riding public) to use these as a tool to find out about a particular bike…IT”S NOT WORKING! There is never any useful info? on these MOTOUSA “reviews”… These “reporters” just get to ride and video! Sign me up for that, I could do a better job!

  15. I like – The tooling around, riding quickly & having fun. The price means nothing if you want one – the torque means nothing if you weigh? 300 pounds – the fuel gauge, if that’s important to you, buy a car! People buy bikes to have fun not how much fuel its using.

  16. where`s the reviewing…..bad review,lousy riding,shitty? video…………need i say more
