Dual-purposed, that is.

2008 Yamaha WR250R, 52(!) original miles. $3,500. Rode it home from Nashville this afternoon.

Very nice! Just give your license to the authorities now. You won't have it long. LOL

Congrats on the new ride!

Sweet ride, great deal and I think you made the best choice from the previous discussion on it!

When I was DS shopping, that bike was on my short list. I like it. I just wasn't sure it would do well on the unavoidable highway miles I'd have to put on it.

Hell of a price.

It's not as bad on the expressway as you might think. It's pretty comfortable at 65mph, with much less vibration than I expected.

A lot to get used to with this bike. I haven't owned a dirtbike since I was a teenager. The height (I can just get the tips of my toes down), the lack of torque (though if you spin it, it can definitely move), and the vague steering (semi-knobbies and the fact that I've been riding taught and planted sportbikes for the last ten years) are all a bit new.
