DRZ400SM or WR250X?
Just sold my Ninja hoping to get a WR250X. I cant seem to find any used ones ? There seems to be more used DRZ's for sale. Which do you prefer? I have read most of the reviews on both bikes, but for what I am going to use it for (mostly city driving), which bike will give me the best bang for the buck?
Thanks

I personally would choose WR because it's new technology, looks better, more frugal on gas .... either one is not a good choice for hwy travel, but you probably know that.
the wr2x has been on sale in japan for awhile now. yeah i'd pick the wr2x.
Thanks for the input.
I rode both and chose the DRZ, I find it pulls harder goes a wee bit faster and there are way more aftermarket parts for it to make even more power. For about a 1500$ you could have a 40-45 HP bike. Ive done only the basic mods to my DRZ and it's a totally different bike Pipe, 3x3, Jd jetting 400$. I have heard good things about the WRX though but just found it wasn't enough for me. whichever you choose, their fun as hell

I ride mine on the highway just fine, did the 401 yesterday for 1hour.....I have changed the sprockets though.

expensive little bike eh....

didn't realize the WR was "limited edition" with the x package... anything to sell a bike i guess.
Thanks D. 7,000? Must be because it's "Limited Edition"
My CBR125R will does highway as well, no problem. But neither bike is built for hwy. Anything with two wheels and able to reach 100km/h will surely be able to travel hwy, but I wouldn't want to do it on consistent, albeit, short basis .... It's not fun at all.
If Suzuki finally threw in EFI, I would give the DRZ consideration. Just something I look for.I rode both and chose the DRZ, I find it pulls harder goes a wee bit faster and there are way more aftermarket parts for it to make even more power.

cant wait to yami to make a WR4X. it'd be a seller!
Totally agree, every time I've seen the 250 in the showroom, I tell the sales guy I would buy one if it was a 450.
If it was a 450, I would have bought it instead of the FZ6... But no dealio, the Japanese gotta realize we have big fat north american ***** to haul around our highways lol.
yeah man same here. i almost bought the wr2x but went for the fizzer too. where you located? we should go ride. fizzer owners unite lol.

Re: DRZ400SM or WR250X?
I'm totaly with you on getting a supermoto......on my first bike (GS500F) and will probably get a supermoto next!!
I'm up in CFB Petawawa, frequent the peterborough area but typically am racing the MX bike with MMRS on the weekends.
I will be at the spring bling so hopefully see ya there!
What year is your bike? I have an 05... and it's black as well.
i think the maintenance schedule might scare people off that one?
