oceaneyes Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I have been thinking about getting a Dtracker 250. But I saw a supermoto version of the Yamaha WR155 and think it looks like a cool light bike for commuting through Bangkok and a little bit of light trail fun.It's obviously a bit less powerful than the 250 Dtracker, but I'm just looking for fun and don't care about going over 120kn/hour. Anyone got any expereince of the 2 bikes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VocalNeal Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Are you riding from Bangkok to the light trails? Choice of bike depends on the type of riding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VocalNeal Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I'm thinking the Yamaha will be OK for traffic. I used to drink with a guy who ran a KLX150 he never complained. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktm jeff Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Motard wheels/tires/etc would be needed for the KLX and WR. All 3 bikes would be great. CRF,s have fallen in value , going cheaply now , if the extra weight isnt a problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damrongsak Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I see that Kawasaki Thailand site no longer lists the D-Tracker 250, only the 150. And the KLX 150s are gone, replaced by the KLX230. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alx123 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I would always suggest to get the bigger displacement. We always say we don't care about it but a little bit more of power is always more fun, especially in the trails. My 2 cents. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JonnyF Posted February 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 8, 2021 The WR155 is surprisingly heavy. 134kg compared to about 138kg for the KLX250 so personally I don't think the weight saving is worth the loss of power. For comparison the KLX150 D Tracker is about 113kg so the WR is a bit of a pig in comparison. I have a KLX140G which is the offroad version of the KLX150 and it's a great bike, the 140G is only 99kg. From memory the KLX150 is cheaper than the WR as well, maybe 87,000 compared to 105,000 if memory serves me correctly. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D TRACKER has the worst suspension. It's for 60kg rider. Rubbish.. Best buy a CRF the 150 you rob yourself of a long trip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deli Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 A 250cc is definitely the better choice. Displacement always rules. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
