Almost bought an "R" yesterday. Talked to a buddy who has the "WE". He said spend the extra money, its definitely worth it. Now i just need to find one. 😬
Spend the extra money on suspension instead. Upgrade the rest one part at a time. Unless you can find one ofc. It’s def worth it IF you can find one, don’t get me wrong.

This bike is awesome really thinking about trying and getting one of these 250r works editions if i dont go crf450r. But im really starting to like the beta 450rx may look into getting a 2025 Beta 450rx probably be alot better than the 2024 one. The benny bloss replica one with the fmf is awesome .
None of the people who’ve done the test ride have mentioned it. Maybe they aren’t allowed to say? lol. It’s still up on keefers site saying it was supposed to come with it and an old video I can’t find now of Trey canard saying it comes with it is gone
anyone know the difference between this wheelset compared to what comes on the ktm/gasgas/husky factory editions? I've flat spotted two front wheels this season on my gasgas FE not impressed with the dirtstar wheels I find lose spokes every time I ride and yes I keep up on them and torque them to spec every single ride day Thanks in advance Sean
sometimes I dont unerstand their opinion, I ve been riding honda 250S for 4 years always the brand new each year. The 3rd gear is really good? and the yamaha I feel like it has to worst low end power I might be wierd I dont know
Just if anyone reads the comments I'm not so sure about his yz250f statements being I do not have the same feeling also aj at moto academy doesn't either really bad bottom now last gen was about equal new gen is better and if this bike is as good as everyone says it will also blow the doors off them yamaha stock motor... oh and even vitalmx is saying the wre is the best in class motor anyways I could be wrong just a feeling from my butt at this point haha
Have a 24 yz250f aswell, the bottom end is like I’m on a 110 pitbike… huge miss by Yamaha… most of the test riders for these TH-cam channels say it has best in class, must be riding to different Yamahas 😂
@@justinweatherly6520 look into those offering mod versions of the 450 airbox... lots of good feedback on the low end power once set up right. Twisted air box is the best but they're are cheaper options.
Lets be fair here , this is a works edition bike so it's no surprise you like it over the other 250's that ARE NOT works edition bikes . A legit comparison would be to compare it to a new 2025 Yamaha with $2,300 of upgrades added to it , then we have a fair comparison .

Full Titanium exhaust!
Honda needs a 350 work edition! 💯🤔
*The exhaust IS full Ti on the 250. I'm surprised y'all can't tell looking at it.
100% correct!
What a gorgeous bike!
Looks like a dream bike... thank you very much for the video!
Can’t wait to see the 450 RWE test!

They only made 500 good luck.

Dyno that red wing against the ‘25 stocker
What happened to it coming with the Hinson clutch basket? Did they change their minds?
I’d like to know this answer as well. It was kinda false advertisement. So no basket and no cover?
Good catch. He mentioned hydraulic clutch and that it felt better than the 450 clutch but no mention of Hinson. 🤷

Sounds healthy!
What kind of fuel do you run.
It's a complete TI exhaust. I think this bike seems like a home run. Great looking and performing.
So sweet that honda is doing this with the 250s now. Yea I bet it's worth all the extra 2300$ definant buy
Is it better then new kx
sounds like it

Bike is missing a few parts that the previous” works editions ”models had. Looks to me they got cheaper with those.
Seems like the works edition is a stock Husqvarna
