Nice! I'm near Uwharrie. I'm up in Randleman just north of Asheboro. Currently riding a Yamaha XT250, looking to upgrade to a KLX300. Soon, hopefully. Thanks for sharing the video! Hey, I know some pretty good trails right here in Randleman. If you ever want to make your way up here I could show you. 🙂👍🍻

Awesome, I am about an hour away from Randelman. I will definitely keep this in mind, nothing better than checking out new trails that are near by.

Cool video! I ride uwharrie every summer! I ride a 2018 KLR 650. Would love to go for a ride! I’ve been looking at getting a lighter dual sport. Love my KLR but would like a bit less weight for more relaxed rides.
@DerekDualSport4 ай бұрын
That is awesome. Do you have any trouble getting the KLR through those trails at Uwharrie?

Some serious mud there..I had D605's but the front would wash out unexpectedly, MT21's now much better 👍

Those unexpected wash outs on the 605’s have been painful 😅 I just mounted a MT21 on the front and can’t wait to try it out.

Really enjoy your videos! Still trying to decide between the KLX300, CFR300 or WR250! 🏍️
@DerekDualSport7 ай бұрын
Thank you! I’m not too familiar with the WR250 but I can say the KLX and CRF are so similar you can’t go wrong with either.
@nochilljay63697 ай бұрын
I almost typed a book for a comment, the tldr is that the wr is great. The only major problem I've had in just over 8 years is that I have to rebuild the rear master cylinder right now. Other than that, I think just batteries and mods. It's really tailored to the dirt though. What makes it the 250ish dual sport king of off road (in my eyes) is what makes it less road friendly. Great bike, just don't expect a unicorn. I never intend to get rid of mine.

If you ride in any wet or muddy conditions off road and still want to be street legal I’d recommend the Pirelli MT21 in front Dunlop 606 in the rear.
