Just got home...... Long day.

My bike now has its new name...... Pussycat!!
It purrs through the trails and if provoke it by twisting its ear (throttle) It gets all mad and gives you scratches.

Main differences between the rmz and the Exc were:
4 strokes are much more direct on throttle. Exc close but not so arm stretching til halfway thru the revs.
Exc feels a lot lighter.
Exc can climb hills better than I can.
Electric start is perfect for someone lazy like me.
Kickstands rule!
Exc only sips the gas where the Rmz drinks it.
Having a speedo on the bike will kill me.

Overall the Exc seems much More controllable that the big 450.
Appears to be the same speed or faster. Being 5 speed means I'll be going faster.
Another plus is you can sneak up on the deer in the park then chase em!

I do love it though. 2 strokes rule!
I just need to ride it better.
Next wednesday I'll be back out there.

You know you can make yours a 300?
Bottom ends are the same. Just cylinder and piston I was told.

I do like it lots.

On another note, Has anyone priced the 09 Six day sticker kit for them?
I would like to put new decals on it and maybe new rims.

ha ha ha yea when i first got mine i spent more time looking at the speedo than the trail, came in handy during the 4 hour in taupo having a clock in the speedo.

Kerry,

You spotted this one: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Mo...-242784238.htm

almost looks too good to be true

[kezzafish]

yeah that's a wicked deal by the looks... you seem like a man that needs an investment property.....!

[rossrc]

funny you should say that... called up about this: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-me-pr...-241040596.htm
potential enduro training ground I was thinking, but the actual price is way above what's on tardme

[kezzafish]

that place is awesome. You looking to move? I love Otaki. my olds live up there. No one gives a shit, you can do wheelies on the streets and people just wave and smile. Before i bought my place i put an offer on an ex sock factory ex gang pad in Levin. Had an 8 foot fence and a roller door you could back a B train into. And a massive bar... i wsh i had got it now

[rossrc]

lol, that place in Levin sounds mad... nah, not looking to move yet (kids @ school etc) but really liked the idea of ~100 hectares to play on... prob wouldn't have worked out - kids would get bored = angry mother = me in the poo again
