- The inaugural WR 250 R/X Rally was held at Cessnock in May 2017. A great roll out for the first of many rallies for this highly capable bike that makes adventure accessible to so many.

82yrs old man is bad ass. Never too old to ride.
He was an excellent rider. Kept a good pace.
How did I not know there was a WR250R rally!?! I'm totally there next year!
and you followed through :)
RidingWithTom did U go this year?
Hi Dave been watching your videos for awhile now and again but have to say enjoy watching them thank you for all the effort you put into them for us to watch appreciate it thank you, have to say nugget is the man to go on a adventure ride with no matter what the problem his there to lend anyone a hand I own a wr250r and the way you describe the bike I don't believe anyone could of spoke better of the little 250 thanks Dave and safe riding mate
Thanks 👍
I beat the hell out of my wr250r and it keeps riding like a champ. Love this bike! Great video!
CycleCruza daddy
who's your daddy?
How did I know I'd find you here CC
Let's go for a ride! Get some on those Chinese scootahs!
As a proud owner of a 2012 WR250R I was delighted to see all the cool mods and add ons.
Lots of information there
Bloody brilliant. Going next year. Great little beast. Pick up my teknik legs tomorrow, can’t wait. Love my wrr
What an awesome adventure. Great edit too mate. I loved my WR250R. Such a capable bike.
I love watching your videos. They take me to exciting places and makes me feel better. Especially in Canadian winter. I wish we had fun places to ride like you have.
thank you for posting this. missed the rally due to logistics. be at next year's definitely. good to see so many wr250r,s. awesome machines
Excellent video! I have a WR250R as well as a Super Tenere and they are worlds apart on off-road fun. The WR is way more forgiving and fun when you're in the dirt!
Had a KLR 650 for ten years, sold it and now 1 year on the WR250R. Just as much fun, just as dependable, and fast as I need. At 210 pounds, I and never last and never broke on the trail. As you can see in the video, put on a big tank, some armor and just try to wear it out.
Great vid…..lots pf smiling, happy faces…..the WRR has that effect on folk, especially CycleCruza :)
Had my WRR for 16 months now..... still lovin it, the poor old S10 doesn’t get out much these days :(
Cheers.
Nice video and looks like tons of fun. Crf250l rider from Missouri. These little 250s are a blast and they will take you anywhere all while keeping a smile in your face.
Whilst I like big adventure bikes, particularly the big twins for the Australian Outback, I really have a soft spot for these little bikes that do a great job. However currently there isn't any new bike on the market that makes me want to sell my Rally Raided KTM690 that can do it all.
I had the last year model 2011 wr250x . Dual sport tires as well as supermoto. I modded it out and loved it. I somehow convinced myself I needed to get a more streetable bike. Ive had an fz07 and a ducati scrambler. Nothing has been more fun than my wr250. Im going to trade in for a new wr250r and have the last year model of that! Great video , this captures the passion for sure.
Thank you MAD, I am in the market for a small ADV bike and this video has assisted me in the decision making.
Yamaha should be paying you for this advertising. I have always loved Yamahas by the way. I have had a Yz250f, yfz450, and a grizzly 700. They were all dead reliable and well worth the money
another great job!
We are operating offroad motorbike tour in Vietnam with some Yamaha WR250R. It has to say that they are excellent bike for both onroad and offroad riding
Vietnam Motorcycle Tours, no more spamming please.
Nailed it Mr DarcyGreat movie - makes me wanna ride this next year
Ta Sean. A great fun week end.
Can't wait to pick mine up! Another video confirming that I am making the right choice.
You are.
Did ya ever get one?
hey guys
the WR250r is the best bike I own,,,love it ( I ride in fairbanks Alaska )
It's the do anything and everything dual sport bike,,they can take everything alaska throws their way
ride safe my motorcycle brothers,,,liked (thumbs up)
Have you ridden the TW 200? I’m looking into getting one and wondered what the main differences were.
Looks awesome! Nice vid. Want to ride asap. Too bad Massachusetts is getting a foot of snow Wednesday.
so cool see a giant group of strangers get together and have a heap of fun. and it's pretty neat they all have the same bike but none of them look exactly the same Everyone has a bit of personality on the bike. I need to find something like this in California!
This is the best video TH-cam. 🍺
I like how these ones come with bark busters skid palates and radiator guards I’d like to see them do it actually stock
Love my WR. I take it into some pretty good single track. Watching this makes me feel like I need to swap the exhaust and get the $uspen$ion done!
suspension work makes a huge difference. The existing suspension responds very well to modification
Sounds like it's time to sell the DR350se and update / upgrade to the WR250R for the lightweight dual sport and adventure riding in the future. Thanks for sharing such a diverse group and their unscripted opinions.
great bike , ive had mine since 08. its time for more power tho.
indonesia love yamaha wr 250/450f
Good bike & great poeple
Привет друзья! Я из России , из Мордовии, у менЯ тоже WR 250 R, классный мот!!! Всем привет !!! Мир!!!
I am still a fan of the Yamaha W250R!
Man, I gotta get one of these for myself one day.
they're cheap cheap, second hand even cheaper
Motorcycle Adventure Dirtbike TV Eh. Cheap in most places. The cheapest one I've ever seen around me was $4,750.00 and it already had 50,000 kilometres on it. Sadly, Western Canada is not a cheap place to ride motorcycles.
you guys do an amazing job bringing these vids . but ease up man lol . putting up the prices now second hand haha .
another great video ..... cheers , Dave .. 58 and wanna go ride again
Better than any KTM !!!!!!!
This bike with a fuel programmer and exhaust system is the best duelsport in the world
ive just ridden a wr250r and I loved it, ive never had a 250 and thought they would suck, but its actually pretty awesome, BUT I did find the lack of power to get the front up pretty annoying, guess its just a change of riding style but iff it had another few horses it would be so much better...
I can see a few wr450fs! 😃 especially the rideadv desert sled!
Yep two. The Sled and one other who joined us on Sunday.
Motorcycle Adventure Dirtbike TV That sled looks like one hell of a machine!
Great video and great bike! I'd like to ask you a question: i will came in australia with working holiday visa in july/august 2020, and i'd like to find a job as motorcycle mecanic becouse i did it in the past and i loved it. do you think is easy or at least possible to do it?
I owned 2 2008 WR250rs. After CO riding in 2014 I sold them both and got KTM 350 and 500's for more power and better suspension and have not looked back. If Yamaha would make a 400/450 version of this bike with higher end suspension I would come back.
Is there a protection like this at 11:16 for the front headlight on the market? Thanks
Hallo, I'm from Italy. Fantastic group and video. Please can you tell me the soundtrack at 06:00 since 08:00 . Thank You
Do you think Brian gets tired of people asking him how old he is?
Bloody awesome mate , as l am aussi living in Ireland l l have the wr250 x Which is the 2 stroke version of that , luv it , but don't have access to all those accessories to turn it to a real adv beast , can't even get the yam gear the boys a wearing there , looked like a awesome trip , any 2 strokes on that trip , is there tanks for them as feul range a mega prob on it , another great video , is that trip going to be a annual one and if so would they take us over seas tourists 😂😂😂
Yes and Yes. Love to have you. Bike rental available.
Looks like it was an awesome ride!
Any plans to hold a ride in Vic High Country E.g Bright, Mt Beauty Buckland?
nope. next one in Cessnock in April of next year.
Can someone tell me if it’s as dirt worthy as the husky fe250? I’m gonna buy one of them, but don’t want to spend the extra $ on the husky if it’s not necessary.
Great little bike. Still cant beat the 450 feel and power.
I love the new 450. But, you can't go on a long adventure on a 450 due to its short service intervals and lack of carrying capacity and inability to fit racks capable of taking a heavy load.
Very true, but we can make the sweep rider carry everything like the extra fuel and gear :) Just buy them a case at the end of the trip.
excellent video, like always. I am currently considering the wr250r or the ktm 690. Type of riding I do is en Baja. I live in San diego and head to Baja a lot. I have a klr 650 but its just to heavy. By now I have researched thoroughly both bikes, I know all the pros and cons of each one. . Had made up my mind for the 690, but after this vid I now consider my self even more confused, There only reason I would like the 690 is for highway use. Care to input any advice? please... thanks and cheers mate. By the way you guys always welcome to baja, would be y pleasure to be your host.
Have you thought of the Husky 701? That will confuse you even more.
hahahahahaha good one!!! actually yes...
better than the kato
Makes want to buy one. What’s the difference between the X and R model?
X is a supermoto model. It has different wheels, tires and brakes. (correct me if I am wrong)
anyone know where to get the extra screens these guys are putting on?
Adam Lee adventure moto in Dural nsw
Can this motorcycle handle 250lbs person?
Of course
these are discontinued in europe, probably due to emissions. what a shame...
A very grunts little engine.
at 17:27 which footpegs is he riding with?
No idea
Who, which WR exactly ?
Nosh's bike Greg at 17 mins 27 secs
show rally 🤗.Yamaha WR250R no Brasil😔
h that's no good. It is a great little bike.
My wish on my birthday is that to have a motorcycle but the motorcycle in my country was very expensive,i love adventure rides and long rides but i dont have a motorcycle,it ok for cfr150 i wish you can read this message and advance thank you,
Always watch your video here in the philippines,
any bike is good for adventure even a 50 cc monkey. I started out on a Honda 100cc and travelled hundred of kilomtres from home.
New to dirt bikes, just bought a 2008 wr450f. Love the thing. However I believe Yamaha need to develop a wr450r. Same reliability as the 250r just Moore oomph. The 450f is a very capable bike, very reliable, but the service intervals are a very limiting factor.
I'm a larger guy, at 110 kilos, 5'10" (who am I kidding, I'm fat) the 250r just won't cut it power wise. The power of the 450f far exceeds my ability, I just want a bike with a bit more power than the wr250r, but with similar service intervals and reliability.
Honda are moving in the right direction with the 450L, hopefully Yamaha will follow suit.
How do you think a KTM 1090R would show itself in these conditions? I can't choose between the lighter WR250R and much heavier adventrure bike from KTM.
I would easily ride most big bikes in conditions such as these, but many riders can't or wouldn't. I don't blame them, horses for courses.
Where's NUGGET ?????????
Can't get him on something Blue.
I feel sorry for him :)
Cessnock ?
yes
Down Under ?
@@ScarlettFire341 yes
Not all these bikes are WR250R's......
wish Yamaha upgrade it to 300cc. I live in high altitude, I lose 2 hp right off the bat.
They should’ve just put the mt07 motor in a wr chassis
milhollandandrew they did! Yamaha T7
Except that they didn’t
I thought that’s what the t7 is.
All this really was is an ad for Yamaha disguised as a video about the adventure riding I don't like the subtle trickery I feel like my time was stolen from me at least the quality of the video was good with nice scenery
Brian .....piss off. Look at the title of the video. Listen to the content. It was the first such get together. Why was it happening? What was the history behind it? Clearly you haven't been on this channel before. Look at all the content on this channel before you make such a stupid comment. Oh, and did I get paid by Yamaha to make it? No. Some who am I tricking you bloody wanker. I simply like the bike. It is the most capable little adventure conversion out there. I think it's great. Now go back to your library and read tome more conspiracy books.
Brian Walker you poor fellow😫
And now, obviously having gone completely insane, Yamaha is killing the WR250R... SO SAD! 😭😭😭😡😡😡
I heard this yesterday I can't bloody believe it. It is such a great bike and all that effort to adventurise them, such a terrible waste. Rideadv.com.au had those bikes sorted as viable round the worlders. Really can't believe it. The little bike was building a cult following.
FALSE MATE! Yamaha have the 2018 WR250R on the website as a 2018 model in the lineup!! Not sure where this rumor started but thrilled WR250R lives on! Just got me a 2017 WR250R and love it!!
Agree
Does having that Teknik suspension make or break this bike? I live in Canada and would not be able to get that done, or maybe there are other options here in Canada that somebody might know of?
no
