Thanks for all the kind words, we are both excited. I will post up pics as soon as we get it, can't wait!

@zilaniz - My WR250X was a 2009, I bought it used from a guy who worked at a bike shop out in VA, he got it cheap as an employee. He lost his job and just wanted to dump the bike so I got it cheap. I did a few mods and sold it for about $400 more than I had in it for $4700, here is a pic:

I loved the WR, lots of fun and go anywhere bike... up/down curbs, grass/dirt, small jumps and on the road. I put the dual sport light duty big sidewall tires on in place of the 17" street tires. The bike was cheap, easy to work on like the Ninja... just not too comfy for 75+ minute rides, plus the seat height was very tall. I had to cut down the stock seat (not the seat shown in the pic above) and recover to get more of a planted stance. So all in all, a great bike for city riding... potholes and speed humps/bumps at 35mph are great... it really brings out your inner hooligan!!
