Hello
As stated in title. I’m interested to start my off road rides with either one of these bikes. Hit me up with what you got. Prefer a low km one.
Thanks!Well we’ll try not to all get gushy at once
I don’t own either but have ridden with plenty of both
Both are excellent for what you are talking about and I would say it would mainly come down to budget.
If you have the readies buy the WR but if funds are a bit tighter the DR, both work well but the WR is a newer conceptFWIW, I bought a drz about this time last year after doing a lot of research into it and the wr. Hard to say for sure as no counter factual, but I’m pretty sure I made the right call. The DRZ is certainly more agricultural, but I think is a better all around bike for adv. The WR looks better though…
The DRZ is a little bit less expensive, but I’ve spent more than the difference adding things to bring it up a little from the farm tractor std spec that probably isn’t needed on the WR, so I wouldn’t view the DRZ’s lower price (normally) as a +ve
My budget would be around 6-7k depending on condition/mileage etc. But the lower the price the better
I got offered a 2013 wr250r for 6.8k (3k kms!) last 2 months which I didnt pick up cause I didnt have the funds!I’ve ridden both and I know the WR will give me better performance but the problem is I can’t find many around in the market. I wouldnt mind settling with a drz as I know I’m still new to this game and may encounter a few drops here and there which I wouldnt wanna destroy the bike lol.
Oh also if anyone is interested I’m selling my 2014 Yamaha MT-09 with modified suspension, rack, hand guards, hand warmers etc. 19k kms Located in Auckland
Thanks!
