If you can manage to buy the WR of your dreams first, you can take the time to swap over any parts you might want to keep (like your Dr.D pipe or your tires). I have a friend in Kelowna that lucked out and found a WR250 that was already fitted with a Rekluse clutch. Sweet deal.
Once you're satisfied with the WR, you could then sell the YZ (ideally just after the bike show in January, when everyone becomes rabid again).
Who knows, maybe you'll find a WR that already has a decent exhaust, and you can do a trade. I don't know which one would hold more value, but I have someone I can ask, so I'll let you know. |
Probably have to flip the YZ pretty quick, either in the deal or right before/after for the cash.
I thought the WR's were pretty much the same other than gears and lights etc. Are the clutches different you think?
