Sometimes I ride Slow, sometimes I Ride Quick, But When its Time To Get Busy Out The Hat Comes The Trick.

Hallelujah!
I mean... 3-5 weeks to get a En300 in and free freight up from Chch to Auckland
There is a couple of gas gas in Palmy and 1 or 2 in Morrinsvillle.
I have a few weeks to decide. Just the obvious problem of not being able to test ride something you want to fork over 13k+ for.
You could never say you made the wrong choice.

2009 TM reviews.
From the article on the TM300
"Who should buy this bike? Firstly, the person who wants to ride this bike will need to be fit. Secondly, do not touch this bike if you are not an advanced rider,as throttle control is a must. Thirdly, this bike is awesome when you can let the engine rev to its potential, though make sure you have your weight forward. Tight single wheel tracks do not work well with this engine, but flowing single wheel starts to use its potential.Wide open grasstracks will put a smile on your face a mile wide."

yeah i dunno, the 250 i rode had a resonable hit for a enduro bike, but it had a shitload of bottom end power as well... It was right at home on singletrack through the bush (had crf250 then, was so much nicer than that.
The more you ride it the more you get used to it i guess, my yz does sweet as with a top end pipe in the knarly stuff

Deciding what kind of bike to buy is like deciding what kind of beer to drink. We all have our preferences. If you want to buy a 2 smoke enduro bike you have to buy Euro and there is plenty of choice. They are all pretty well engineered and have their own strengths and weaknesses. I am considering a new bike later in the year and my choice will probably be between another Husky Wr250 or maybe a 300. The husky handles most things really well from the open stuff to real bush bashing and I really like it after a gas gas 300 which was quite plush and lot more tourquey
The only thing that might lean me towards an orange bike is the electric start. Sure 2 strokes start easily generally but while you're still getting the bike in neutral and kicking it over someone with a button is already 500m away....but then I am a bit slow
moo moo
id consider a wr300 husky, i know i know its a smoker but ive never had one so might buy 1 and keep the 450. hmm id still look at a husky as well as the gaser, if you can shoot into spectrum mcs and see if you can get a test ride.

you'd enjoy it-after being a confirmed 4 banger fior years I reckon 2 strokes are the way to go from a fun factor

Im happy with my WR if anything my next bike will be what I can afford at the time.
Why would you ride that long and that gnarly stuff if you don't have to, Its what we do, we love it.

told ya so
When I upgraded I didn't go out looking for a Gasgas 200, it just happened to fit the criteria.
I'm pretty small of a person, so wasn't keen on an enduro 4 stroke as there rather heavy, wasn't keen on a mx 4 stroke, because the suspension would need reworking for enduro riding, also I wanted to stay in the same class that I race in now, being 0-200 2 stroke.
So that either means a kdx 200, exc 200, or ec 200. Or another 125, but that was a last resort having already ridden my 125 for 2 years now.
KDX is too big, heavyish, average suspension in stock form.
EXC200, I wanted the new framed version, as I didn't like the feel of the older frame, felt fat. and the new 200s were too expensive or had too many hours,
EC200, I already knew what the gasgas' handle like, how the suspension reacts, how the bike feels to ride, so a 200 was a logical upgrade, but it wasn't what I set out to get.
So basically what I'm saying is I wouldn't buy a bike because of wanting something new for the sake of it being new, but rather that the criteria for a bike isn't fulfilled by what I have now.
Sorry for the thread hi-jack

Only reason I have one so early is because KTM have nearly sold out nationwide. There are no 200/250/300 EXC 2T's at the KTM warehouse. Next shipment of 2011's in in September. Gonna be racing quite abit before then, so I dont want to miss out really.
Not to long Dan. Surgury is on the 30th. I'm told it can be about 8 weeks before I start racing again. Not to long
