    It’s up to you Aido, if you have the coin to update later buy the Kato now, and upgrade to the WR IF they become the end all and be all

    Do you really need to ask

    The no 1 ribbon is always Blue

    If this FI is true I’m Looking to buy

    A 2011 wr 450 0km $6000 maybe $6500 with bashplate and all the gear

    Don’t think fuel injection will worry this little black duck

    Wonder if this will be the next ” all new” model that they will keep for the next 5 or six years. And then only come out with BOLD NEW GRAPHICS And REVISED GEAR RATIOS until the next all new one comes out. In saying that does this mean the WR will never see the laid back engine ???? Will they ever make a laid back FI 250.??? Do they plan on sending the YZ and WR in two totally different development directions. If they want to go that way, why can’t they bring out a souped up WR450R to try and take on the DRZ 400 market and bring the WR more in line with the Current RMX450. ie a MX bike with slightly modded gear ratios a light, electric start and heaps of washers in the exhaust to get it through ADR.

    theyve already taken on the drz market with the pee wee 80 ….sorry i mean the 250r

    Adding a bit of culture to this story —

    In Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar the Soothsayer told Caesar to beware the “Ides of March”, the 15th being his date of death.

    Perhaps TB is a Soothsayer and whilst I believe the Ides of September is the 13th, Soothsayers suggest wait a couple of weeks.
