who do you think got the first 2014 storky

[ianMember]

We got our first 2014 model on tuesday , its already sold we have another 3 coming in the next week or 2 . 1 is a demo and the other 2 are already spoken for the more people that get on them the more that like them

[ianMember]

That is absolutely magic , i luv a 250 2 stroke rebuild :woohoo:

[ianMember]

pretty good hey Boony

just a bit about the models

The 250 4T

We have a 250 in our shop and it gets looked over by everyone with the 300 on hand but after riding it i thought that it ligher to throw around even though both 250 &300 are the same weight in the specs. It will rev to the moon and is happy to be there as well the suspension was very plush and handled very well.

300 4T

ive been riding the shop demo for a few weeks now and have worked out where to ride this bike
i love this bike the motor has a very strong mid range and instead of reving the crap out of it can be pegged up a gear and ride it in the meat of midrange the 2014 has an upgraded fuel injection system and redesigned crank and with the weight and the suspension you can hold your cornerspeed with the michelins as standard & the good traction from whitepower shock you will find yourself railing corners with ease .
the 270mm front brembos give more than enough braking power , i cant say theres any one thing that makes this bike standout, it just all works together, great package

250 SMOKER

With the 4 stroke range release last year the long awaited 2 stroke range will be the focus this year with the 250 hitting here first and the 300 being released early next year. i couldnt wait to get on this and left it till last so i knew the tracks we were taking it on.
it is rated heavier than the 300 4T in the spec sheets but it didnt feel it …at all the motor was strong midrange all the way through through to the power band hit. I rode the same loop on each of the map settings that a easily switched over by the handlebar mounted switch (which is on both 2 & 4 stroke models just below the starter button) and found the softer setting just riding it in the meat of the torque range with the harder setting letting the full power of the bike with more of a top end hit (there is a difference of 7 HP between map settings) which was great on the mx track.
The electronic rvalve set up is simple it is servo controlled unit that activates the mechanical power valve and un like the cable set up of the later model CRs it is a unit on its own
i cant wait to see the 300

Anyway all up these bikes have goods to make their mark in the dirtbike market so all i will say is have a look at them ,they have a lot to offer

cheers HB

If its in the warmer months we do a couple of early morning loops in the barringtons. 2 loops in two days back by lunch for a cool beverage in the creek and a baked dinner in the fire before doing it all again the next day. Grade 3 and 4. Couple of gnarly hills up that way for those that are keen. We are up there all over the xmas break with the bikes but it makes a good weekend in the summer as well.

If its later in the year and you want to ride all day you can link up storky’s bulahdelah tracks with our barrington loops. start at bulahdelah and camp at frying pan and then do the reverse back the next day. Take some pre-running to put it together but went through there a few years ago from stroud so if that sounds good perhaps storky and few other can help with some runs for a june ride.

Hey murph, we are up in the wattagans in the morning, georges track, slippery rock and ricks tracks, might see you out there if the back comes good.

we done it the other way left barrington worked our way over stratford servo for a bbq lunch and refuel down through craven then myall state forest out through gilberts trail and into buladelah stay overnight at motel and the pub and reverse the next day awsome ride

Thats a great idea, we just need secure parking in the barringtons. Could talk to charlie and see if he can accomodate a few cars and trailers for the big ride.

we left our cars up in his front paddock

We could look after charlie and book his cabins, he does an AWESOME steak and merlyn has a score the settle with the barringtons if we end up at charlies. He does alot of work up that way so I reckon start at bulahdelah and everyone can camp in the cabins and put some $$$ in a biker friendly pocket

we stay there on the long weekends in the cabins they are excellent
