In reference to the others above, they really dont know what they are talking about............now I, on the other hand am seen as something of a guru on the subject of motarding, so any questions let me know.
Additionally , by chance, and your good fortune I am currently passing on the best KTM motard in the country for a low sum of $8500 not only the motard either, tyres and stands and lots of other gear including some road conversion kit.
My best advise my freind is to ignore the others above and simply consult me in all things motarded.
That's a nice bike and a nice price - but I was wondering about a couple of things in the add:
It's a 525 ccm fairly revvy single and you are getting ~51 hps at the wheel with full race exhaust and dyno treatment. Mine is a 576 ccm not-quite-so revvy single and I am getting ~53 hps at the wheel with a slip on can and a rough rejetting. I would just somehow have expected you to be getting more than that...
Beringer brakes? Calipers (and master cylinder) I assume - the discs doesn't look like any Beringer discs I've seen. Just curious is all...
Anyway, good luck with the sale - it's a nice bike and a bloody bargain I'd say.

They are bullet proof. Can sit on the back wheel all day. Handle well even with crap tyres, hard to break too - I flipped mine, and put it into the back of a car, and it still ran, and was still straight except one of the radiators.
It wont break down (like a KTM) and wont have to be rebuilt even 10 minutes (like highly strung KTMs)
I haven't tried an SM specced DRZ400. But I can attest to the fact that a motarded DRZ400E is good fun. While it doesn't have the power and the torque of the Husky, the engine is much easier to deal with, it pulls smoothly from idle to rev limiter. The Husky tends to be more chucky down low and a bit flat up top - that's in comparison to the very beefy mid-range of course.
The Husky, however, looks better

Nope Im tapped out at 50.4 hp, with bigger jetting a full system titanium akropovic, tuned by experts (KTM experts) thats good for a standard SMR
Yup its got Beringer brakes written on the brakes.
cant see it selling really, trademe looks over 1300 and not an inquiry yet so sheeeeesh might just have to keep it and keep racin I guess

Do you know how much they get from the 450 ccm SMRs?

Is it the stock brakes for the KTM SMRs?
It's just that Beringer does a very neat Supermoto upgrade kit - but it has s quite characteristic look and cast iron brake discs. See the attached .pdf - page 6 from the Beringer catalogue. DO WANT!

Hard job ey, hope you won't feel too sad having to race the poor thing...

New SMR 450 are about the same as mine 50 -51 hp standard. but they rev out at about 12k, mines all done at 8500 so they are fast.

Like your 610 is 576cc, the KTM 525 is only 510cc. What's in a name right? Not a huge difference, just saying why it might be more difficult to coax 50hp out of it.
The KTM 530 however (also 510cc), is far superior to the 525, and is most likely the reason Quasi is selling.
I think we would find in the video that the stone-stock 530, with stock dirt-bike suspension and stock pipe and ridden by an old fat guy, was giving the 525 a run for its money. (Lots of money)
And thanks for the tip last time (or maybe it was Willy?). I spoke to Gavin and he's going to help me sort out my suspension. Good guy.
