Waikato ADV rides!

[Dave h]

How tall was it compared to the WRR Oneblackflag?

I reckon you should buy it and turn it into a rally bike

Turn around and run, they haven't got your number have they, Admit it I'd be tempted though and it would need a lot of mods to be rideable, 20oz flywheel, 25litre tank, remaping of injection for resonable fuel economy, bar end weights to stop vibes, new seat, and so on and so on

Then she'd be trick and perhaps even practical

BTW nice ride report

Nah didn't give out my number, just had a perve. Didn't realize they were so vibey...

I'll be holding on to my money. Supposed to be pretty reliable from 09 though.

Similar hight, prehaps even a litle lower than the WR... Seat would be similarly uncomfortable after 200 clicks. Lots of sex appeal.

Good thread, just skimed through it, looked like he spent a fortune.... Then just disappeared?... Blew up?

It's gonna be hard to find something to replace the WRR when the time comes I reckon... Maybe Yamaha should make a V-twin 500 WRR

Yep read that thread, confirms what I thought a bad Idea, and my number 1 reason would be gearing, the things scream their heads off and higher gearing wont fit.

Exciting option might be a late model WR450, best option any KTM EXC over 250cc including 2 smoke 300, they can all fit 170kph gearing which you want so your are able to cruise nice on the roads and optional parts are easy to get

525 you reckon? I see people on the adv site seem to think they are decent as a adv bike, just need and oil cooler for more capacity = more k's between changes?

I must say I like the 'look' of the Huskys more.

So this has what to do with Waikato ADV Rides?

The best choice of bike for Waikato's unique riding conditions.... And whether said bike is suitable to adventure riding...

Ok back on topic then.

Found a mint TE449..... Still keen on a tricked out WRR??

[oneblackflag]

Trying to figure out how to get it... Need sale money from my bike... Unless parents did a bridging loan for me... Spose another will come up... Its only been comuting in Auckland; 2012 model, never been off road apparently... Looks like new.
