Pretty Happy with my 2011 TE310 Bigger Al, nice ride for an ol fella (50 in Sept)
I’ve spent some money on my ’11 ride but the ’12 modell sorts out all of the things I did to mine (suspension, muffler, Rekluse clutch .. oh no hang on not the last one )
I was worried it wouldn’t get up big hills .. I was wrong .. it won’t wheely with the 450s and bigger but is fast enough to pull up beside ’em and kick ’em off line while there on the back wheel 👿
The CRF weighs at least 10kg more than the Husky….. :whistle: and has 50cc less …. and is from Japan!!
[Where’s TB?? :dry: ]

So you really like the 310 by the sounds of it i,v got kram,s at the moment it,s the 2010 and i love riding that not as fast as the 450 but who cares fast enough for me and great around the farm,so it looks like i,ll get the 2012

and with the old mans DRZ clean ready to hit the market to down size as well i would just like to say a big congrats and pat on the back to MYSELF and KING BOL for going out and buying real bikes for real men. between us 900cc and between snowy, boony and jacko 750cc MAN UP F#@KERS

250cc is GAY!!!! there is no fun on 250’s hey STM

well went up the back of my place which backs on to the bush corey was on the drz and i was on the 310 went up a short single, then we swapped bike and he rode the single again when he got back to the top of the single went to swap back he said piss off and he was outer there so he must of liked it as much as i do,he still recons the 450s the go but for me i think the small bores are better in the singles and on the farm,so im with snow and the rest that have made the change so bring on the lighter bikes

A few weeks ago I go to ride a new Honda CRF250 x and found it an absoulute rocket which I figured to be largeley due to it being so light weight. Not being a traitor like Boony, Nick J or Corey I wasnt prepared to jump ship though and slag off the vernerable DRZ that had allowed me to get back into trail riding and eat dirt thoughout the country. The only choice then was radical weight reduction surgery but first I had to find out where all the weight was so after weighing the big girl in in full ride trim I discovered she weighed a massive 154kilos.

So first things first she was stripped down to the frame.

Only 22 kilos there so that wasnt it. Next I weighed the wheels to see if the Hondas go fast rims where the difference.

congrades on the new bike to snowy

No only 8 kilos all up there. So it had to be the battery and as the DRZ has a kick start I didnt need that.

Damm only 1 kilo it has to be all the ADR shit

1.5 kgs. Maybe it was the after market air filter and too much oil on it

.5 kg still no good. Must be the motor. so

Only 17 kilos there , So the only thing left is the plastics

And there it is can you believe the plastics alone weighed in at 104 kgs. To ensure quality though I ripped the stickers off the plastics and weighed them as well and the buggers weighed in at 64 kilos

Ripped down to the bike shop and bought a set of red go fast plastics but they already came with stickers so I had to put up with the DRZ having Honda stickers on it but it came up flash as you can see below

Now I know it looks alot like a 2012 CRF250 X and it is similar in that it weighs the same, but underneath its still a DRZ just a lot lighter. Be warned though Jenny Craiging a DRz will set you back about $5-6 K but I think the end result will be worth it once the minister for war and finance says I have earned enough from extra work to be allowed to ride it. Happy to let everyone check out the results at Coffs. GO the mighty DRZ. Snowy

Positive reports re a husky on old bulls NO WAY!! Just kidding!
Don’t forget 2012 models are now on sale at rock mc:-
TE250 2012 price may surprise and I have a fresh one arriving this week. It’s basically the same bike as a 310 minus extra cubes.
TE310 2012 are in stock but these will be gone real fast at the runout price.
2011 TE449 are an amazing $9,990 ride away!
P. 0265836655 if you are in the market, cheap freight can be arranged door to door.

rockdog whats the difference between the 2010 and 2012 models and how much are the 2012 310s?

So did Bigger al like the 310 ??? It did look like it, I’m likeing the idea of one to replace my old spear,I’m yet to ride one though.

Well just arrived at noosa for my grand daughters first birthday thats nato,s little girl,well on to the husky 310 ok the left fork seal is in bad shape but still an incredible little weapon and yes It looks like I might buy one,at first I didnt like it because of the forks but then I started to push it harder and it does get going the harder you push the better it go,s and yes you can tell the difference in the weight and at 57 thats a bonus,thanks for a great day scott and that vid is a cracker, you just cannot beat the mid north coast for riding.

Yeh! the 310 look and sound like the go for me too,I’d love a rip on one on some of those trails to :cheer:[/quote

yeh do your self a favor and grab a go on the 310 they are that good.
