I’m thinking about getting a 250 dual sport for my next bike (I keep changing my mind about what kind of bike to get but this is the current favorite). Do you have any advice about what to get? I was thinking about the Kawa KLX but then I read the Yamaha WR250 is a lot better (if more expensive). I think the Euro options are not worth it for me just now, maybe later. Am I on the right track? Anything to look out for?
I havn’t ridden the newer, aluminum framed WR250X, but from what I heard they are a blast.. both of my bikes are full on dirst bikes, one’s made street legal (KLX300) and the other (WR450F) is not.
KLX250 ha been around for a while, good solid workhorse of a bike, probably not as refined as the WR250X.
Depending on your budget, if the WR is too spendy, look for a used dual sported KTM from the mid-00’s.
