Think so...I didn't even pay attention to the lights until I watched the whole thing.  Video wasn't loading all the way so I stopped it to comment.  Did they even have WR's back in 89 and 90?  I'm not too much into trail and enduros do I don't know.  But my 89 YZ was pretty strong. 
  That trail looks pretty awsome though!  I miss riding in the snow.  RIding in the midwest or anywhere like this video is by far more fun then the desert.  Not to knock desert riding, I live in the desert now, but it does get kinda boring after a while.  Trails like this are never boring!

Yup, 1990 YZ 250 with WR transmission, at least according to the guy who sold it to him.  The original owner swapped the YZ gearing for the WR and a weighted flywheel.  I donno, has the light kit, should ask him what the title says since he has it.  I'm actually in the process of swapping a 4 speed transmission out of one of my bikes and turn it into a 5 speed, but one of the shifting forks needs to be reversed so trying to acquire that now.  30-40mph first gear was just way too fast for the trails.
Modest beginings start with a single blow of a horn, man.
