2006 Yamaha WR250F Dirt Bike reviews

I got this bike instead of the CRF230/TTR230 and I'm glad I did. Although I'm kind of disappointed with Yamaha for how much the bike was restricted from the factory (to get the CA green sticker), and the fact that a brand new bike had a bogging problem, but a few easy and fairly inexpensive mods make this bike lift the front tire with throttle alone. It has more power than I'll ever really need, but the power is very controllable. I have a buddy who has a CRF450 who wants to switch to a CRF250 or WR250F after riding my bike. I'm sure the 230's are good bikes, but the physical size is too small for me. I'm sure the CRF250 is a good bike also, but I haven't heard for sure if the valve problems have been fixed. If you're thinking about this bike, get and do the mods to it, it's a great bike. Ride safe. Show less

This is the quietest thing I haven't heard. The best thing is the electric start. The suspension is a little soft for a motocross track but if you are on the trails, it is perfect. The only bad thing is because of the quiet pipe, it is lacking 2-3 horses from the YZ. O yeah - you can ride this bike at night and no one will complain! Show less

After riding a YZ125 (older 2 stroke), WR450F, CRF250x, XR200 and a couple other bikes of friends, my wife bought the WR as a birthday present. I love it for a woods/trail bike! Light and nimble with plenty of power to get up, over and around. I do a lot of rock and heavy obstacle trail riding with varying soils and it's done it all. After one day I was riding around like I owned it awhile and the E-start saves the energy for riding! :) Show less
