Weight seems similar. The Honda also has a higher tech chassis. In the looks department they both are great but the Honda looks a little more modern.

Both have great instrumentation which I like. Both should have coolant temp gauges though. :roll:

For me the difference would be the FI. 8)

Before buying the KLX I had considered the WR but declined because it was over $1,500 MORE money for just a bit more performance. It also has an aluminum frame but the weight was almost the same as my bike.

The Yamaha engine though outperforms my KLX. In modified form my KLX makes just about as much as a stock WR.

In stock form the CRF250L makes more power than the stock KLX250S. I'm sure one could increase the power of the Honda similar to the way he increases the power of the KLX250S.

I don't know about your KLX250S, but the Honda has an "idiot light" for the engine temperature. Nevertheless, one can easily add a TTO Temperature Gauge to the coolant line for $35.
