    Hey guys ,

    I’ve my MO-TOW for a couple of years now. It carted the XR around pefectly.
    I did get the odd flash (of headlights) while driving at night though but that was more due to the suspension on the Xtrail feeling the weight of the motorised lounge on the back.
    It’s good if you dont have a lot of room for a trailer.
    The cars a lot happier now with the 300 on the back although no one flashes me any more :whistle:

    Thanks everyone one for your thoughts,
    scotty I almost feel dirty having my secret 2t desire :laugh: and my eyes did wander to that part of the showroom. (and i was dreaming about one last night)
    jimmy I would love a husaberg 350 but the minister of finance wont be up for a newie and I havn’t seen any second hand ones anywhere.
    rockdog I had an xr400 and thought about a 450 bike and although it would be awesome to have all that power they reckon the 350 are nearly as good with less wieght, which when i’m picking it up after a few tries at some gnarly (for me) hillclimb i will be thankful of. i’m about 90kg and 6.0″

    Thanks adam and Trailraider for your input Sutto’s have ofered me a spin around the block on the 350 so i think i’ll have to just try that.
    At the end of the day i would be happy to get any new bike if presented with one, but having to choose one from the many makes it all to hard :unsure: :dry:
