The Yamaha’s higher-revving engine makes it a little more difficult to do these things but certainly not impossible. Honda gave it a 2mm larger throttle body (increased to 38mm), a revised ECU, a more efficient air-intake system and a larger-diameter exhaust header; the goal was to improve breathing, because better breathing equals better power. The CRF’s seat height is a good half-inch lower than the KLX’s and a full two inches lower than the WR’s. However, new carburetion changed all that in ’09—for a while at least.That year (2009), the KLX took on many other changes, as well. But all is good now thanks to FI.The 2018 KLX250, which sells for $5349, took on a few other minor changes besides FI.

In comparison, the KLX250S—the Yamaha’s number-one competitor at the time—sold for about a $1000 less.The 2018 Yamaha WR250R returns much like it was 10 years ago but with an inflated price tag of $6699.The Honda CRF250L came on the scene in 2013.

The Yamaha XT250 has a $5,349 price tag in Canada for 2018; the Kawasaki KLX250 is $5,599, and the Honda CRF250L is $5,799. It looks like a $9,000 bike. The Kawasaki’s is low, as well, but the Yamaha’s is downright high for an entry-level motorcycle at 36.6 inches. I saw a youtube video where a 250L beat a WR250R ( $6700 msrp ) in a drag race..     $4999 vs $6700 When i sit on the Xt250 i get a little depressed. Honda CRF250L vs. Kawasaki KLX250 vs. Yamaha WR250R | Dueling Dual Sports. HI. The XT250 is smaller, lighter, less hp, lower seat height, less substantial (not liquid cooled ) dual sport bike.

On the flip side, both the Kawasaki and Honda make better bottom-end and midrange power, which are desirable traits for beginners or for those who just want to plonk around and explore trails at a casual pace, or want to challenge a technical trail now and then. Then i have to get the tail tidy license plate thing.

The 250L is almost 23hp. I haven't been able to find a DRZ400S to sit on yet. Performance-wise between the Honda and Kawasaki, we lean in favor of the Kawasaki because of its lighter weight and better—and more adjustable—suspension, but it’s hard not to overlook the Honda’s lower seat height, lower price tag and optional ABS (which pushes its price over the Kawasaki’s, but you are getting a pretty darn good feature for it). Here’s where color or your favorite dealership might be your deciding factor.The larger and/or more experienced rider will like the Yamaha best, without question, because it will fit their longer arms and legs better, and they will appreciate the WR’s more capable suspension and more powerful engine over the other two bikes. They had all three bikes and I sat on them plus the DR-Z400S. She's 5'-4"/130 lbs.

The Yamaha is noticeably more powerful than both the Kawasaki and Honda, but most of that power is lurking in the higher rpm range, a fun place for an experienced rider but maybe not so much for the true beginner. As an adventure tourer, the new CRF250L would do very well, but 50 lbs is a lot of extra weight for a trail bike.

Personally, I would have gotten the Honda, but I found a leftover 07 XT225 for $1,200 less. But, my 230L is 267lb wet weight vs close to 320 (likely less with FMF). got the email that you replied to this Thread.

All good stuff. It must be able to handle my wife onboard. Just because the Yamaha is considered an entry-level bike doesn’t mean that the WR doesn’t have the potential to tackle some pretty rough and challenging terrain, because it certainly does, and the fun factor goes up a notch or two as long as you’re not in a big hurry to get where you are going.Hopefully Suzuki will surprise us with one of its own 250cc entry-level dual-sport bike some day so we can do this comparison all over again.

If off-road is the reason you are buying it, I'd pick the older, CRF230L. I can see where the As a new rider, if no one has told you, your wife also needs training on how to be a passenger. Even after thirty-four years of marriage that beautiful red head and I are the best friends imaginable. Wow. It also has petal-style disc brakes, generous 11.2 inches of ground clearance, sturdy engine guards, a large and informative meter and a claimed ready-to-ride weight of 298 pounds.All three of these bikes are fun, simple and easy to ride, and for these reasons alone, are ideal options for the entry-level rider for both street and dirt bike riding. There are a lot of variables. The seat goes all the way up the gas tank. The XT250 has the lowest price here, but also the least power and most basic suspension. There are two that stand out in my mind: seat height and weight. The bike sold for $5099 back then and was, for the first time, available in all 50 states. 3.2gal tank (california )  and is 278lbs   don't know the hp  the xt250 looks small, dinky, simple.

They did say that with the Honda you felt like you were riding "on it', and the Yamaha you felt like you were riding "in it".

If i'm recalling correctly, the 250L i did not like when i sat on it. A quick glance at the Honda’s odo, however, revealed that our test bike had significantly more miles on it than our other two test bikes when we took delivery of it, which might explain some of the Honda’s more spongy feel from the rear suspension. Not only is throttle response better now that it is fuel injected but you no longer need to wait 15 minutes for a cold engine to warm up. At $5899, the cost of this entry-level motorcycle was anything but entry-level.

Hi Seldom Seen,  Thanks for the feedback on the DR200S.
