Before that I used to ride a DRZ-400, great old tractor of a bike but pretty heavy.
So I've been looking at either a wrf450 or an excf350, it's been a few years since I've ridden though. I'm not sure how aggressive the 450 is so would be keen to hear from anyone who rides these or has any suggestions.
Cheers
klx450r??. A little heavier than the two your looking at but bang for buck 9g are pretty good as long as ya drop a tooth on the front as there too high geared stock, Have the right jets in it as there way lean stock and hard starting, water proof the bloody plug inside the left shroud behind the radiator. If buying new the dealer should know all this and sort it anyway or mine did apart from the plug which is an easy fix. Not as much grunt as the other 450's but tractable and useable with enough grunt unless your an expert.
