GoPro Hero 5.0 wide...one was attached to my front brake master cylinder cap via sticky mount. and the other was attachead directly to left hand crank case via sticky mount. Yes, it stuck, even though the crank case cover was probably 200 degrees!

shit man how do those tires grip when riding like that?// do they do pretty good?

[maverick9161]

They are the stock ones...they work very good...on and off in my opinion.

[VollgasHero]

I can see that! lol makes me more confident in getting the R rather than the X. nice video bro

[maverick9161]

Yeah for some reason those stock tires end up being really good street tires actually. About a year ago I went on a street ride with some sport bike guys...when the road got really twisty (20-25mph turns) it seemed like I got a quarter mile away from them in about 8 corners. Great bike...go R

my dream bike, i am obsessed with these things

[Montgisard]

I've got this bike too and also in Northern Ca. Ride it in the dirt a lot. But it's also really fun on the street.  The stock tires aren't bad as bad on the street as I thought they would be. Great ride BTW, really like the video down low.

Had my 08 for a while now....I beat the piss out of it onroad and offroad, and it was my first offroad bike too so it took a pretty bad beating. I'm a pretty average offroad now and I just love this bike, I ride it to Uwharrie...screw around...then ride home. Sometimes I wish it was lighter for the real technical stuff but it's a dual sport not a dirt bike. Onroad the bikes a damn wheelie machine >:)

How tall do you have to be to be comfortable on this bike?

[Jakbm]

Hey lovely looking bike, thinking of getting one but what are they like for long journys as im thinking of going camping etc so would be riding anything from 1 hour to 5 so is it comftable ?

[shady691]

@performancemiles na man these have 6gears for crusing the roads, i got wr250f and looking at getting an R so i can do more touring but still go off road:)

[BugsBunny249]

Damn good work,,, good video

[performancemiles]

will these things run hot on interstates at 70mph? will they cruise at that speed or do u have to lay the throttle down?

[TheNico9696]

alright thanks.

@TheNico9696 Difference between WR250R and F - the F is an enduro race bike. So it has short gearing and lower top speed (but gets there really quick). Also, the motor on the F is a race motor and needs a fair bit of maintenance, the R motor only needs an oil change every 5000km, oil filter 10,000km, and valve clearance adjustment every 40,000km. So, it's not quite as powerful as the F, but lasts a lot longer. Finally, the R is about 10kg heavier.

[TheNico9696]

dang you were hauling butt man. i have a WR250F whats the difference between mine and the WR250R?

[w3llet]

this could be yamaha wr250R promo video :D! Nice!
