For Sale…… One WR 450!!!!!
Well, after a rather interesting few K’s watching Kempy (Wingnut KLX) repeatedly throw his bike down some flat trails, i got to have a play on the new 07 Gas Gas 300. I emedietly felt at home, the cockpit comfortable, ergos slim, seat flat and hard. The torqy power of the 300 brought a big grin to my face! Brought back memories of my 98 Yam WR250 2t. The marzochi fork and sachs shock felt just right for me, you know when you jump on a bike and it just feels right?
We rode the section with the woops in it at near the camp site, i was having a ball flicking it neatly through the trees and berms, and skippded across the woops with little effort. We switched bikes to come back through, and although my bike wasn’s on song, it still felt a complete opposite to ride. Felt top heavy, power not as thrilling (maybe jet issue?) and basically felt like jumping on 91 XR 250 (yes TB i did own one!!)
All in all, a bloody great trailbike, light, powerful, nimble, and just very enjoyable to ride. It certainly has me thinking of getting back onto the ringa ding dingers!!! Perhaps the new Husky WR300?!!
Cheers, Gili.
Should be able to manage both!:unsure:
