So where's the 450sm everybody's been clamoring for?

   It's not coming.  Don't go there.  I made the mistake of trying to post several reasons why a WR450X can't have 26,000 mile valve intervals and 50 hp and weigh 300 pounds street legal all costing close to $6,000.  I used the WR450F -- that has neither 26,000 mile valve intervals nor 50 hp nor a sub-$7,000 price tag -- as an example.  

The typical response was, well, Yamaha could do it if they wanted to.

         How is your WR250 doing?  Anything else to report? Good or bad?


thanks

That is almost enough to make me spring for another Dirty Bike. I have stayed away from the fart machines but that bike is pretty frikken sweet.

Best place around here to find info is in one of the WR threads.

I've only got about 3100 miles on mine, but for what I use it for, it's great.  I've owned it for over a year, and it's never been on an interstate.  It can handle the chip seal and the gravel roads and the in-town traffic around here just fine.  Weather permitting, I'll do a brief overnighter to AR later this month.  It is not a replacement for any other bike I owned or considered owning before it, but it meets my needs around here.
