Good Sumo for commuting and lot riding?
though a weaker engine than a 450, the wr250x is the winner in my book for the combination of commuting and lot riding, for a couple reasons...
1) transmission; wide ratio transmission means you can stunt this bike without gearing changes, and still hit the highway and reach 75mph+ no problem... -1 in the front is more than enough for extra parking lot torque, though it can circle bone stock no problem. Their is no other supermoto bike with a wider transmission than the WR250X, to my knowledge.
2) Fuel injected. You can ride on the back wheel all day long, and it will never stall or die.
3) price is right, stunt parts are readily available
