Just reading through this thread as looking for a WR250 2T, heard they are a great bike and thought it would keep the 2011 WR450F company in the garage as well as handy to have a spare bike when the 450 has its motard rubber on. Lots people rate the WR250 2T however info or actual knowledge is hard to come by. I am on the far north coast and we don’t have a large selection of 2nd hand bikes if you are chasing a particular model so I have found one interstate and will probably buy sight unseen and rely on selllers photos and honesty. Mr Blue seems to have a handle on these bikes so I was wondering if he or someone else could maybe answer a few questions? I have found a 1999 model that looks pretty tidy, bike is in Qld and owner says it was registered by the previous owner but not registered now and has no lights or blinkers, I’m good with electrical so this is no problem.
1. Is the 1999 model ADR compliant?
2. Where would the owner find the complince plate? (steering head I assume).
3. Pictures of compliance plate, frame and engine number should be enough to prove bike is legitimate?
4. Any particular problems should really ask about?
5. Is a search of http://www.ppsr.gov.au sufficient to protect me from buying a stolen bike or can anyone suggest a better option. Only ever bought registered bikes and always used REVS but apparently http://www.ppsr.gov.au is now the place to check?
Cheers Al
