I still have my YZ250F 02... It's been registered and set up for bush work since it rolled out of the shop. Done multiple Apline rides, desert rides, local rides.... Still on same piston and rings. Been well looked after, but it's also been ridden hard... Suspension is everything when you only have limited power. Getting my suspension done changed my bike like night and day... Didn't even feel like the same bike at all. Could ride it with confidence that nothing scary was going to happen..... of course you end up just riding faster, to the point, something just as scary can happen, but at least you can gather it up 98% of the time. Amazing little bikes.... I can't believe mines still drags my 105kg ass around so quickly.
Personally, I enjoy the camping bit as well, with bonfires, beers, bbq and the tomfoolery around. Of course the riding part is the main course, but some sides would be cool as well. *thumbsup*
Yamaha must keep their great job with WR250R and keep it a life for generations to come. I haven't see 2019 WR250R on their website until today. They even replace WR250R with the ugly XT250 as Dual Sport Category Cover/Front page. It seems like WR250R is going to die even though it is the best Dual Sport Motorcycle with a very good looking design.
Ah, the Finchley track. I did that on Sunday for the first time. The Howes Valley Trail back out to Putty Rd was fantastic, erosion mounds for like 30km to jump over!
Howes Valley Trail and Yango Track were so much fun. One of those erosion mounds is what caught out +Dualsport Hooligan when he jumped almost the whole hill and landed on the next mounds upramp
That was great Tom, interesting about the difference between STD and technik suspension, still don't know if I buy a new WR and get all the farkles or a Tiger 800
You coulda made me look like an idiot, trying to race 450's myself like a cocky prick and crashing breaking my finger like a fool...but you didn't, you took the high road and left that part out, and I am grateful.🤣😁😆! Great videos Tom. You gained another American fan. I'll see you next year I hope mate
6:48 you can hear and then see me bouncing my suspension to show how much the swingarm is creaking after which +RidingWithTom says his bike has "literally the worst suspension probably here." haha If there was an award for roughest bike, I think I would have smashed it :P 14:50 "Keep on the gas." haha that's me I kind of got crossed up cause I had to go round the outside of the guy who stopped on the hill, the same guy who went off the corner. I think I need Teknik suspension.
Hey Tom awesome video and great riding,,enjoyed watching I bet that custom suspension was sweeeeeeeeet, cyclecruza is having his WR250r done (custom suspension) man that burger looked amazing ,,ride safe my motorcycle brother ,,LIKED (thumbs up)
Hey Tom...been watching your (and Nerbs) videos for ages. Can you tell me what gearing you ran for your Simpson trip ....presume you are still running the same gearing for this ride too? Cheers mate....
Question for anyone that may help 😁 I ride a zzr1400 also have a z1000...I'm looking for a enduro not a new one just one for messing around in forest ect but also road legal 250 400 not even sure what size engine would appreciate some advice 😁 great vid ride safe guys from the uk 👍🏻🇬🇧
so 2 questions...which has more power to hit highway speeds...and what can sustain 70MPH better. dont tell me none because my klx250 2018 can do it but its gutless and takes forever to speed up
RideWithWill I have owned both the klx250 and the WR250R, the WR does handle the speed a little better than the Kawa. 6th gear is very tall on the WR and doesn’t really do too well on long hills
Latitude thanks I really like both. It will be my first street legal bike that I'll buy myself. I always had a thing for the wrs but didn't know the difference between the crf.
I have a 2015 CRF250L and it is hands down one of the most capable and profitable mules anyone can saddle. I've never had maintenance issues and the only necessary mod for performance was an FMF exhaust and Header. Some call it boring and predictable but I can chug up damn near any hill in first or second gear with no worry whereas a WR250R is going to be screaming to get up. Both have horrible suspension setups if you weight more than 150lbs but ergonomics and comfort on the CRF are superior to the WR in as many ways as I can describe. The only advantage of the WR is more available aftermarket parts. It also looks nicer in my opinion.
I live there and the town its Cessnock and I live at the vintage and I used to go riding before my bike got stolen but im saving up for a 250 husky and im 15
That biker who is in the middle of the road at 1.03- Dont ever ride that close to the centre line, guys when riding "normally".If mr car driver gets distracted for a spit second and "drifts" its all tooooo late at that speed-Not trying to be big headed ,i was a motorcycle courier in London for 22 years, these small things can save your life ,or your ass whichever you prefer...
this guys entertaining ! but my god he cant ride for shit ! 9:21 surely thats a troll ? i mean the man can wheelie but enough practice anyone can wheelie on flat surfaces
I still have my YZ250F 02...

Wish I could go on an adventure with my mates like this too
you're videos rock!! and make me so happy! hope you never stop!
Keep the good job going Tom, love the offroad videos
The comparison between the 250 and 450 is shown and commented on between the 4:24 and 4:40 minute marks. :-)
Great vlogging video! How did you record the audio conversations? It is very clear!
Great series Tom!
Good on you fellas for riding up and back and camping self sufficient.
That really impresses me!!!
Did it tough and had a ball.
And by the way great video,great riding and great suspension thomas ! In the uk lattes are for 4x4 drivers in chelsea and software developers!!!
Nice CycleCruza reference in there Tom. Sourcing from Merkin riders ay.
That was great Tom, interesting about the difference between STD and technik suspension, still don't know if I buy a new WR and get all the farkles or a Tiger 800
Hi, love the videos! I was wondering what is your cell phone support ? It seems sturdy since you did not loose your phone on the trails...
Did you work out what it is? I was thinking the same thing
@@hammahamma2750 No never found it...
Not sure what he is using but I swear by the quadlock.
You coulda made me look like an idiot, trying to race 450's myself like a cocky prick and crashing breaking my finger like a fool...but you didn't, you took the high road and left that part out, and I am grateful.🤣😁😆! Great videos Tom. You gained another American fan. I'll see you next year I hope mate
Do you have the footage that continues from 15:00 , legit ride them tacks most weeks and I have cut in a track out there
I find it awesome that your riding in the area I'm from
Awsome video Tom . Just had a look at the 2019 wr450f . 10hr service intervilles?!! Thats what the dealer recommended. Surly that cant be right?
6:48 you can hear and then see me bouncing my suspension to show how much the swingarm is creaking after which +RidingWithTom says his bike has "literally the worst suspension probably here." haha
If there was an award for roughest bike, I think I would have smashed it :P
14:50 "Keep on the gas." haha that's me
I kind of got crossed up cause I had to go round the outside of the guy who stopped on the hill, the same guy who went off the corner.
I think I need Teknik suspension.
to put it simply....
fucking amazing !! I loved every minute of each part!
do more like this :D!
Hey what sprockets you guys running? The wr450f especially as i have that 1 & wondering the best tryed & tested from you guys
Yamaha is loving this video.
Damn this looks fun. I need to find something like this around here.
and how u gear up witout clutch? u leave the throttle and do it? it is okay to do witout any damage?
Hey Tom
awesome video and great riding,,enjoyed watching
I bet that custom suspension was sweeeeeeeeet, cyclecruza is having his WR250r done (custom suspension)
man that burger looked amazing ,,ride safe my motorcycle brother ,,LIKED (thumbs up)
OH you were in Albury? i wish I had known, I'd have wanted to come meet you man.
I like your wheelie Tom!
So... what part of Australia is this, like exactly?
North of Sydney i believe
Cessnock NSW
About 1.5-2hrs north of Sydney. Inland from Newcastle.
Is it hard to powerslide on the WR250R in second and third gear? At least it seems so watching this clip
Excellent vid 👍
Hey Tom...been watching your (and Nerbs) videos for ages. Can you tell me what gearing you ran for your Simpson trip ....presume you are still running the same gearing for this ride too? Cheers mate....
What gearing and power mods do you have done in this video?
Was there a comparison at some point with the 450?
yaw tom, what tyres u put on the wr?
Tom, what's your brake and clutch levers? They look a lot more comfortable than my ASV.
What kind of sprockets do you use on your wr250?
What do you think about install steering dempfer on wr 250?
Sounds like it's time for a suspension upgrade for your bike now!
well done, Skippy
Question for anyone that may help 😁 I ride a zzr1400 also have a z1000...I'm looking for a enduro not a new one just one for messing around in forest ect but also road legal 250 400 not even sure what size engine would appreciate some advice 😁 great vid ride safe guys from the uk 👍🏻🇬🇧
Love thoose bumpy dirtroads!
You can see on the video that it is better, must be a huge difference.
I’ve heard the go race suspension is great. How much is this set up?
That dirty burger looked 👍 looked like a fun event. Nothing shame ee dont habe stuff like that hete in the uk.
Nice video Tom. A quick question: Do you think the wr250f can be adventurised as would with the wr250r?
was that Japanese you were speaking at about 15:06 ?
Haven’t finished watching but nice one thomas... change your god damn gears when attempting wheelies
so 2 questions...which has more power to hit highway speeds...and what can sustain 70MPH better. dont tell me none because my klx250 2018 can do it but its gutless and takes forever to speed up
RideWithWill I have owned both the klx250 and the WR250R, the WR does handle the speed a little better than the Kawa. 6th gear is very tall on the WR and doesn’t really do too well on long hills
We had a good couple of runs there 👌 can spot that pink skid lid of mine pretty easy 😂
And I spotted my bright orange a fair few times too, mostly failing miserably 😂
I conveniently edited out the bit where I can’t keep up with you haha
RidingWithTom he's quick as
RidingWithTom he's quick as hey
Rest in peace Seb if you guys remember him😞😞😞
This series is just a really big ad for the wr250. I'm impressed!
Yamaha should be paying me!
Original Simpson trip is still the best!
Latte, latte, latte. Yes i too like latte. Good video champ 🖒
What do you think of the crf250l? And how it compares to the wr I'm looking into getting one of the two.
Latitude thanks I really like both. It will be my first street legal bike that I'll buy myself. I always had a thing for the wrs but didn't know the difference between the crf.

Keegan Hottinger I love the look of both :) and they will make more aftermarket parts for it hopefully.
crf250l=little red pig
Get the wr250r purely because of reliablility and mod support
what phone mount has tom got because it seems to work

I live there and the town its Cessnock and I live at the vintage and I used to go riding before my bike got stolen but im saving up for a 250 husky and im 15
I wonder how many km he did, and how many oil changes
Riding Japan 3000km, most probably a service when back at home.
Its a wr250r bro they are literally indestructible
Can you please name the mobile holder on Wr250r or share some link where one can buy it.
Cheers .

Had to check out that burger 3 times 😛
I should have dabbed with you both. #chaos #dabbingwithtom
Last time I was in Albury also caught up with old mate Titan too 👍
"that's not a 250r. can't do that on 250r" lmao
I hope they make a WR450R
Wonder if you just have your suspension wrong and not as good tires?
no nerb comments yet?
He must be still asleep
HA! Awesome vid Tom!
And still, no comment lets go wake him.
You know Tom the gear box still works when on the back wheel just like it does on 2 wheels , grow some balls son
