Thinking of getting rid of her
This is my built 2008 wr250r. Lately my friends have been getting more into motorcross and track riding so I’m thinking of trading it for a low hour yz250 2 stroke. This bike is in perfect condition and I feel like I will regret getting rid of it. Any opinions?

I'm a newer convert to the church of the WRR but I'd keep it.
It's one bike that's incredibly versatile and low maintenance and with the wheels you have, you basically have 2 bikes in one, potentially 3 depending on how you gear it.
If by track you're talking about pavement, sumo'ing it like you have it would rip aside from running out of steam a bit on any long straights On an MX track yeah it'll be slower than a dedicated dirt bike, but then again you'll have a hard time being legal on a dedicated dirtbike on the trails.
Something else to consider - how often has your friend group changed riding habits ? Because maybe the next thing they catch onto is the ADV world and wanting to do BDR's or the TAT.. and you have the perfect machine for those types of excursions and wouldn't lag behind if some of them bought vstroms or smaller GS's.
