    WTB- New Trail Bike(new to me)

    Got rid of the 94 WR250 2 stroke this week. It was nice but way too much for what I need. Looking for a nice trail bike that could handle a day or two on the mx track. Most of the trails I ride are fairly tight, don't need another 250 2 stroke.
    I would prefer e-start. But can deal without if the bike is nice enough. Really looking for an 03+ WR250, but tough to find a good used one.

    Anyone got anything?

    I have a 02 YZ125 that is very well set up for the trails. Probably not a great MX bike since the suspension is set up for the woods.

    That YZ is a great bike. and it could easily do occasional MX days.

    I'm interested. Send me some pics/info.
    When I say handle a mx track once in a while, I mean handle about a foot of air and be lapped about 6 times. I am no jumper. haha

    Ya i didnt mean its not capable of MX but the suspension is nice and soft for the woods. If it was going to be jumped hard you would be sorry.

    Older photos. Once it dries up a little and the sun is out Ill wheel it outside and get newer shots. The garage is just a bit crowded to get anything good.

    It pretty much has everything you would want except for a steering damper. Right now it has a FMF fatty with a procircuit 96db silencer with spark arrester. Eline lighting kit. Typical guards (skid plate, bark busters). Chain and sprockets 1/2 way through last year. Stock pipe and a procircuit platinum pipe on the side. Both have dents which are fix for 40 each. PK just never got around to sending them out even though I offered to pay for his pipe as well.

    Runs strong. Had my sisters boy friend on it last weekend for a while. If youre not far from Blackstone/Bellingham and want to check it out let me know.

    I rode this bike at mototown (before the suspension changes. Nice, strong motor, easy to ride. Cool that it has a light.

    Biggity,

    2-stroke 125 MX bikes work well for woods once you soften the suspension up. This one sounds similar to how I have my 125 setup and I love it.
