yep wr250- fun to ride and great size for getting into the nooks and crannies that the mis guided youth of today are drawn to, i'm getting paid to do a job i love on a hobby i love. Plenty of grunt for its size to get up steps and quite agile suprisingly.

How long do they get kept in service for?

Wonder how cheap they are at the ex police vehicle sales/auctions...

Good question mate and i don't know the answer-they get serviced every 500 miles though-i done just under 50 miles today( mixure of road and offroad), so very frequent.

I always nod at the police...rarely get one back. Must be met or kent.

I'll keep an eye out, see if any come up for sale in the ex police stuff.
