The TT250R is an air-cooled 4-valve, which has been in production as various similar models (TT250R, TT250 Raid, TTR250) since the late 1980s early 1990s.
Rather low tech compared to the WR250R, which is cosmeticaly similar to the WR250F, though it uses a different frame, suspension and engine.
Any bike which has been in production for as long as the TT250 will be cheaper to buy as the development cost will have been paid for years ago and being so low tech means it costs less to produce anyway. Also having been available so long will make spares and accesorys far more obtainable than a new bike.
Being so new on the market and with hi-tech electrics, USD forks and ally frame behind all those expensive looking plastic panels, the WR250R is going to cost far more. But for that money you also get a far more powerfull liquid cooled engine, decent working suspension, long sevice intervals and it looks like a racer.
So it's hi-tech or low-tech. Liquid cooled or air cooled. Racer looks or trail bike. Basicaly they are the same design idea (250cc four stroke trail bike) but seperated by nearly twenty years of development.
Just one final point, you can get 22 litre tanks to fit the TT250, usefull for longer trips.
