I got a wr250x and like the other guys said.........my wife and I go for short stints, 20 miles or so. Bike handles the same and doesnt struggle at all with her on back. I wouldnt wanna go on 100 mile trip with her on the back though. Shes tips the scales @ 125lbs and I'm 175. The rear pegs were a selling point for me too.........."hey honey it has rear pegs, you could go for rides with me!" :laughingr
Thank you yamaha for putting on rear pegs! I got a wr250x out of it!
