Which 450 ?

[murph the surfMember]

I bought my first Kato over 10 years a go, before they were popular.
But they are popular for good reason, Dude.
Hope you will be happy with what ever you choose.
Cheers

Well thanks old bulls for your input.

I would like a 300 2t but I still think Im too large and I ride as fast as my reactions allow me ( how do I put this…… ‘slow’) :laugh: which makes me think may be too much work useing rear brake and such.

Im not in a big hurry like I have a year to locate a bargain ( really far too tight to buy a new one ) I will prey on (some guy that bought new and fell off and doesnt want to play no more )

In the past that tactic has saved me a heap…..

maybe venture in a suss out the husky 450……

pm me if your keen for a klx450 but will need a top end rebuild soonish. :blink: :dry: :blink: :S

dude a 300 will hall your large frame about on paper a 300 2t has 2horse power more than a 450 4t

And just because its a 2t you don’t have to wring its neck all the time.

Dude stay away from the 2 smokes your mates here are dreaming. I’ve seen your ride style, you love the torque, stick with a 450/500 4 banger. I’d hate to say it but for boring reliability WR. Otherwise any Euro with lots of fancy graphics would be exciting.

Hey its free to dream isn’t it? :silly: :pinch: :whistle:

What are the weight differences between the 450’s and 350’s? Boony is more than happy with his 350 as far as I know. Isn’t he? Would there be any merit in looking at a 350?

Dude.Do what ever you feel happy with mate,dont let us mob change your mind.

But you should buy a sherco 300 2/ so I can have a turn.to see if I like them.thanks bud

Hey Dude, picked up another WR on Friday, the old is still in the shed too, I looked around for a few weeks but just kept coming back to the yammie and I really like it. It’s had the suspension done and felt great on the first ride, you know how good they are, get another one.

Nothing wrong with the 350. I’d go one over the 450/500 but that’s my preference. I’d say Dude will resist down sizing from his green 450 lol.

Usually these discussions are loaded with arguments. I think Dude posted the question just to start trouble here again :laugh:

Go Kato
Quick and easy oil & air filter change
No linkage to maintain or thrash with rocks
Lighter than jap

Duey has an 99 300 he would part with cheap :ohmy:
