Got a new toy: 2008 WR250X



Wasn't sure if I wanted a bicycle or a motorcycle, I figured this pretty much splits it in the middle.  laughingdp

17" front and back.

The thing is so light and flickable, it's ridiculous! When I need to move it around the garage I lean it against my right hip, grab the muffler and lift.  laughingdp

So I guess that means you can ride it on bike paths and lanes!  Grin

It's a really well built bike - quality is better than expected (I will blame Piaggio Smiley). I like the side-mounted radiator - keep Austin Guzzi Weird.

When riding, it feels a lot lighter than it is. Brakes are great and motor has really good torque. It has the same lean fueling issues that my S2R had, but it's curable on the Guzzi - free software in fact (although free as in free-beer, not open source free)

Nice touches: stainless brake lines from the factory and the brake and shifter ends are on eccentrics so there's a little adjustability there. Levers are generic, but I guess they want Pazzo to make some money Smiley  Only real annoyance are the warning stickers on the tank - but I guess all bikes come with these, but still - a pain to get off.

Definitely needs a windscreen or even a small flyscreen above 80 because of the wide bars. I can't believe the new Monster 1200 doesn't have *something* as it's making even more HP and at 50 lbs less.

Congrats on the purchase. The Griso has always been a great looking bike and one I'd like to have alongside my Multistrada.
