this is a good point you want dealer support for your brand

It is not such a big deal in the cities were there are a lot of bike shops but in regional areas you can be limited to choices by your local dealers. No point owning an exotic bike if you can’t get a basic part on a Saturday morning.
have you ever tossed the idea of a 2 stroke Aaron, light weight heaps of power ,electric leg and they are still carburetor and very easy to do maintanence yourself. After having a bigbore for the last 2 bikes i was in the same dilemma and i do think its a mindset that we think a 250 wouldnt have the go you want but it probably would but you have to rev them pretty hard to do so.
After having the 300 for 12 months ( and like you say not mentioning any brands because i probably would have had a husky if it had the electric leg) i made the right choice im still not sick of the power of it and it still gives me a buzz everytime i open it up and has the torque to lug up hills as well with the lightweight of a 250 which in turn doesnt wear you out.
I done a 2 dayer from barrington to buladelah via stratford and back last weekend , it was 3 50 km all up with about 30km of firetrail and road and the rest was full on and yes i was sore and buggered but thankgod i was on something light
she looks a tad wet out there jeffro, ive given it a miss out there this weekend and taking the boys up to singleton MX track tomorrow , hopefully dry out a bit before next weekend .
P.S arent those red clay trails bloody decievingly slippery
hey jeffro , good to see your back on the bike did you see all the cars parked on the grass at glen charletons , we had a 2 day ride we left from there over to strattford and for food and fuel then rode over to buladelah stayed overnight and rode back today again via strattford what a weekend
would have been a ripper of a day for you lotsa, i had to work today and ive been off the bike for the last month after coming off and doing my shoulder again should be back on her in the next fortnight , will have to come down there for a ride with you and tryhard
i havent got rid of the ktm just yet Ollie it was ivas question about the suspension,so do you know anything about the Kyaba shocks compared to the sachs?
there a nice bike the 310s iva nearly bought one myself , might be the sort of question for a husky only website(cafehusky.com). resting up after busting my shoulder again but tell us when you get it , we will go for a ride.
no worries murph, havent been out to wallaroo for a few months cause ive been riding everywhere else so with all this bloody rain we have had i thought it might be a good time to check the local haunt
good stuff mick nothin better than getting out with your kids, would have been a buzz watching your boy on the 250 today afterwatchin him progress from the minibikes
honestly Whanny i just couldnt bring myself to buy another husky when iwas looking for another bike , i dont really have a brand following ( apart from holden but thats another argument) if it ticks all the boxes for me i will buy it and the KTM 300 ticked all the boxes and so far is an excellent bike im just giving my personel opinion
