Of course this is all personal opinion, but if I were to buy saddlebags for a street bike, yes, I would buy hard boxes. Using hard boxes in the woods is the best way I can think of to break your leg. Soft bags only for me on this bike. If you put your foot down to catch yourself and your foot gets pulled backwards, your leg will snap when it comes in contact with that hard case.
The WRR is also the only bike out of any of them you've been looking at that can handle the electrical load of all the heated gear you can plug into it. I just bought mine last winter and oh boy, it's nice. |

Well, since she was my pit crew she was on the winning team
btw - it might not look like it, but that chick in yellow would give anybody on here a run for their money on the track. She can fly. Seriously. She's embarrassed many a man who used to think he was fast. Last edited by Krabill; 09-28-2010 at 10:07 AM.. |

He says he already sold it, anyway.
Pretty stupid to list a stolen vehicle online with your phone number-- and then leave the ad up weeks after selling it-- if that is the case. I wonder if it wasn't wrecked, determined non-rebuildable, and then put back together anyway. This just popped up: 2009 Yamaha WR250X - $3700 (Ware Shoals) $3500 or less and I might have to grab it. I'm wondering if there is an "adventure" stye tire to fit these motard wheels. Since I'll be doing more commuting and fire roads than single-track, skinny knobbies probably won't be necessary. |

I'd burn the street rubber off it before looking into dual sport tires. |

I've seen X's with all kinds of tires on them.
17" D606's will fit 17" MT21's will fit There are others, but you get the idea. Mount up two rear tires and have a ball. |

I had no idea tires like these were available in such sizes. This front wheel/tire looks like something off a Rokon... |
