I played with this one for a few days, years ago (2003 FNAR).

Nice power, didn't like the seat (in trying to make the seat lower, they'd kinda put a notch in the frame at the base of the tank)..

I actually tried to buy this press bike, but when I got there the bastids had sold it.
I bought a LC4e instead - more power, better off road, not as comfortable - probably the better choice when all is said and done.

early 610, twin pipes, 1999? i think the 2007 I have has more power than the sxc625? better build apart from the bars...? I dunno, we will see.

Will have to change my writing to yellow and blue now...

Looks light as well.

And I thought my dogs could bark! This one sure does, it is light too, but high in the saddle. I will have to take a bit of care placing my feet on the ground in off camber situations....Umm, like always...

Well, I have the bike, finally sorted I have been dismantling it since I got home from work . All plastics polished, cleaned around the front forks and radiator. It is in very good condition, almost new in fact. Not surprising since the last owner just has the motard rims on it. The excels are brand new. No warrant until June next year, reg is May 2012, awesome
New tank IMS, is on its way, new bash plate from Sealhy Off Road is also in transit, just $79 USD ....Acerbis guards are rerady to put onto the Tomesseli bars.
Once the bike is ready for assembly, I will time lapse the assembly. Meantime, the XT will be ridden and I cannot wait until the weekend to get out and ride. The Husqvarna is going to be the Dusty Butt steed me thinks..

The only problem with white writing is people using "the light universe" colour scheme, can't see it...

Must be a bit crap if you've been pulling it apart for over 200 years...

Still works out cheaper even with postage compared to genuine one and also B&B...was quoted over $300! So, $150 odd NZD pretty good and it was mailed yesterday, great service mate.
