Bob

I had an 04 wr450 and loved it, I had done over 13,000ks and only had the valves shimmed once and that was only one inlet that needed doing, the bike never let me down and if im honest it was more that everyone else had bought new that prompted me to start looking at a new one.
My choice was between a new wr,husaberg or gasgas, I wouldnt have a kato so i went and test rode the berg which i liked but at the end of the day the price was going to be near 14 grand :woohoo:
The only reason I didnt buy the gasser was because of the resale value down the line I loved the bike but the more i thought about it the more i kept thinking that I always rode well on my old wr, so i should have another look at them
My son has a 2010wr450 and i took it out for a good ride which was the best thing :ohmy: The power was good,the suspension was good and probably more important was the fact that i felt comfortable on it
I ended up paying 12,200 a year ago exactly and have no regrets whatsoever its brilliant.
I think if you want a new bike ,and you can get a 2011 for 9000 :woohoo: snap it up mate you will love it, in my opinion they are a MUCH better bike than the 04.

Yes the efi bike will be good but im not in the slightest bit dissapointed with my’11 :ohmy: :silly: :silly:
Hope it helps mate

[Mike WyethMember]

Ive been hanging back waiting and hoping that the weather will subside so we can get the best out of the ride, like Murph said i too would like to do the true Bello :woohoo: but Im afraid Im going to pull the pin

Hey Ev,

How many ks are you looking at doing per ride?

My 450 normally gets around 85-90 before reserve , is that enough? :dry: :dry:

come on Murph, will be an awesome weekend 😆 😆 we’ve got over 6 hours to get there :S :kiss:

400 to 600mm 0f rain in the next few days..
NBN WEATHER….You mightin get here mike…
I did think that Spud

…spud…

I did think about that Spud :ohmy: just going to see what happens, its about all we can do :dry:

If the weather we had yesterday hits down there today there might be all sorts of problems although at the moment it does seem to have eased as its only light drizzle this morning :unsure:

Keeping fingers crossed :blink:
