    WOW!! Did 50km’s on sat arvo at Sunny Corner. The bike is impressive, sharper steering and the throttle is soooo smooth. Stock efi map is great. It pulls smoothly all the way through the range. Suspension is great, much improved over previous years and yet to set sag and clickers.

    It feels no heavier than the 2011 in the group and was hard to get back from the other bikes rider, He was impressed as well!

    Well just done my first 75 ks on mine and loved it,seemmed to just go where i looked , took about ten minutes to feel comfortable on. Rode it with the aussie map and suspension settings delivered with and it had good traction in the slippery conditions after yestdys rain. could use Hydraulic clutch found i was using two fingers fairly early (lazy left hand) guess time wiil tell but pretty happy so far.Yes it did feel heavy lifting it on and off the stand.

    Hey Looselink,

    did your controller come with maps loaded or did you have to put them in from the blurb written?

    Mine has none in it…. I think!!

    Hey hey I have secured a loan of a new one of these beauties for a days test riding next week :woohoo: I am helping build it into a Rally race bike in the next two months for a big event later in the year. Will post both up as they happen

    Am looking forward to it, I looked at it today. It’s completely standard and looks the goods just quietly

    Sometimes not a good idea though!

    Friday Tyre kicking.
    44 went tyre kicking on Friday at Teammoto Blacktown.
    Had a sit on the new injected WR450, the guy there was more than happy to offer a test ride, I didn’t take him up yet, also told me of a dirt test ride at Clarence at end of next month “see website”.

    I was surprised to see it doesn’t have a key to start it. But I suppose you don’t pick up the milk on it.

    Being a big man I was also interested in the XT660r 10K ride away and had a sit on the Tenere.

    44…professional tyre kicker…
