Hey Guys,

I was looking on ‘graysonline’ this morning, and found a pretty neat 2011 wrf450.
The price looks really reasonable. As much as I would like to buy it, I would be shot if I turned up with another bike, but thought someone out there may have some interest.
There was also a couple of other smaller bikes (125, 85 Big wheel) that looked cheap enough.

Cheers

Sometimes I really should just stay away from this site :blush: .

In keeping with my bike whoring reputation I couldn’t help myself I bought it . Especially when I saw the price, around $2k below going prices.

Pick it up Friday

Good picture hey.
The inspection report gives it a good wrap. It has road trail tyres so they have to go but comes with radiator guards, bash plate and 1 bark buster :blink: :huh:

Yeh probably Wayne. It’s not registered at the moment though. Only needs a front blinker but I may have trouble finding somewhere to get a blue slip at this time of year

I Picked the bike up this morning from Sydney and brought it home. Generally it is in good nick with very little boot scuff marks but a few scratches on the only barkbuster and front guard from a spill.

As mentioned earlier it isn’t registered at the moment so I was only able to take it for a quick spin on some private property nearby. I would have to say that it has a bit more poke then th ’03 model, whether that’s due to wear and tear or engine improvements between models I am not sure, most likely a bit of both.

The suspension will need some adjusting, it barely sits high enough for the side stand to be used but generally feels quite stiff over smaller bumps, (I haven’t had a chance to try it over bigger bumps yet) and will most likely get the treatment from Tekniks.

The bike hadn’t been washed when I picked it up and it had a fair bit of manure spattered on it under the guards and generally was a bit dusty. That combined with the trailwing type kenda tyre I am thinking it may have been a farm bike.

I will replace the wheel bearings, maybe the steering head ones, new chain (sprockets bearly look marked) and give it a service. I will also fit new barkbusters, replace the plastic bashplate with something from B&B or Whipps and set the ergo’s to suit me so that by the time it is registered it will be ready to rip (just wish I could rip with it :blush: )

Also will have to get my hands on a manual for it.

Great pickup Jeffro. I really miss my WR, they are great bikes.

i just gave away a B+B bash plate that would have slipped on there very nicely
