Wr250r is one of the lightest in its class, compare it to klx250s and crf250l. The suspension and handling is way better stock aswell. (have tried both of the 2 others) The others are cheaper tho', but if youre worried about the horsepower of the wr, dont even consider the others, unless you plan for a bigbore job.
126kg dry isnt so bad at all. If you want, theres about 10kg to save without going totally crazy. (exhaust, battery, beeing the main parts) But you could travel for a long time with the money involved in this.
Not bad for a bike with 42.000km intervals for checking the valves, with the ability to ride proper singletrack, stunt, and travel all over the world, all in one bike.
Thers people riding all over the world on ktm exc's, so its durable and so is others, but I would personally choose something else, and not worry too much about the maintenance when in remote areas.
WR250R Forum Is a great source for anything wr250r / x related.
