Swap a GSA for a WR250R for a day?

Any idea on how a guy could get his hands on a WR for a day to test it out and see if that's the way to go.  Or even something comparable to see if I should trade the GS in for something smaller.  I'd hate to go all in and be disappointed.  However, I come home each day and stare at my beautiful BMW and wish I could jump on it and ride some of the sandy double track along the river where I live, but know it's a gamble on whether or not I'll bury the 600lb beast to the fender and have to call my son to pull me out with the 4 wheeler.  So it sits until my next trip, whilst I spend two hours on the computer surfing Craigslist and googling Wr vs. Crf/DRZ/EXC/SX, etc, instead of riding.

I'm in Omaha sleddog, but willing to travel!  I can certainly provide some BBQ to show my appreciation to whomever.

Jeff we have a WR250R,  DR650, XT250 and  DRZ400 here if you wanted to come out and test them all out at once.
Who knows the TW200 might be your pick ;D.

Excellent price and the bike looks almost completely stock so you could farkle the way you want. If they were asking $3500, probably better to find one with a few mods already.

Darn this is for sale about a month too early.  The GS will have to go first...taking pics as we speak.  Taking a family vacation to Banff next week.  Thanks for all the input and hospitality with the bike offers gentlemen.

Jeff, if you remember right, you took the wrr at palace motosports for a ride at the end of our James River ride. Its still there and the seller just may be motivated.......

Think that's the same one Dan?  I liked it...just drove it down the block and back.  Going to go up to see Jack in the next two weeks...try one out for the day.
