Any 'Tard riders in Hamilton?

[Boo]

Yes the first of the ali frames back, 06 was the last one, the ones I've seen are a bit long in the tooth now. The only other one is a KTM.

[Geeen]

This is another option I looked at

Or a Huskie..

Seems OK and its an enduro but 200 hrs, looks nice. Don't forget the suspension and set of rims ain;t cheap if you choose to go that way. KTM is a better opition, you can pick up some wheels for $1200- $1500 with good tyres and maybe even a bracket to run a 3320mm disc.
Don't know much about Huskies or Husa accept the 650 Husaberg............. now that's a tard!!!!!!!!

... the 650 Husaberg............. now that's a tard!!!!!!!!

Believe it or not, that thing is LAMS approved. I'm not complaining...

[Boo]

Shit....... they don't come up often and the problem is there a race bike and high maintance which is all part and parcel.
One of the nicest tards I reckon.......parts are so expensive, a rebuild would leave you 4.5k less off.
Can't buy single crank cases got to buy both,rare to see one on the road...

[ZondaX15]

Oh wow. That's like, my KTM every time you need a rebuild. Are the new 570's just as bad?

[Boo]

I don't know but being an enduro you wouldd think they would be OK, its when you try to get HP out of them. I know KTM now own them..... there a heavy bike I would stay with the KTM

[hamd0g]

the 570 Berg is simply the best bike ever!! Built by KTM, in the KTM factory using KTM parts. it even has a KTM sticker on it... it is not heavy? nor are the parts expensive? Top end rebuild is 1K. not that you need to worry about that very often, ive done over 300 hours on my Tard FE570 2012. never had any issues, never uses oil, or water, never blows any smoke. never broken down, only ran out of gas a couple of times lol. damn you 8.5 LTR tank!!!!

Just got me new KTM Motard. Wondering if there are any hooligans near by to do hooligan things with near by, or if I have to stick to other people on Tupperware-ass sports bikes.

maybe we should do a Hamilton Auckland combined meet!?

[ZondaX15]

Sounds like a great idea! Who's down for Saturday the 2nd?

that would be the guy who works at boyds. I sometimes finish work at the right time to see him going from boyds, te rapa rd, heading south. I recall it's a 525exc (he filtered past my van at the lights and I had a good perve).
