There is video proof on this site of me taking down a TM300 The same TM300 that beat the new WR300.

As LC4 was there watching it, he can verify it was done with a gumby like me aboard too

Hi Guys,

Just an update, I ended up getting the KTM 450EXC. A brand spanker too, Uncle Kev had offered to pay for some of it so, how could I refuse.

I only picked it up yesterday, and managed to get about 30minutes on it before the sun went down.

It’s currently parked in my lounge room (to my girlfriends disapproval), because I don’t want those theives getting into my garage before I get a chance to fit some locks.

Thanks for all the help.

And somewhere in Bows archives is video proof of my 250/2t smoking a YZF450 a WR450 and Bows’ race prepped CRF450F on a gravel road, our points are the same the rider is 90% of the ride, but having ridden all bar the Husky I know which are fastest between the trees and around them in my hands…it ain’t the 450s unless we are on big open firetrails, even then whoever can hold it wide and keep cornerspeed up for longest is the winner.

within reason the bike is a moot point

Moto it was a WR 250 husky not a 300 and here is the video in question, but before you get to excited people that is a 1976 RM 370 with a speedway tyre holding its own I reckon, drag racing in a paddock means nothing, Blue is right “which are fastest between the trees and around them in my hands” and “even then whoever can hold it wide and keep cornerspeed up for longest is the winner”
Moto was the winner on the day though that is correct RM 370 2nd Husky 3rd and TM 300 last, but then we could talk tyres, gearing etc etc

Yes, I got the $1500 worth of power parts, most of that is in the Akapovic muffler, so it is a decent deal.
