 Re: Looking to buy a new bike, what do I get
Those Ossa's do look the goods, dealer network will be interesting though, might be like owning an ATK

 Re: Looking to buy a new bike, what do I get
Although this bike really should get the other manufacturer's thinking, hopefully it inspires them to head in that direction for the 2013 models

Got a decent deal there much better than the deal locally.Anthony is great to deal with the entire outfit seems very professional. Just have to learn how to ride the thing now! Looking forward to the low maintenance of a two banger. oh and the weight! so is the deal done yet.....?

 Re: Looking to buy a new bike, what do I get
No not yet the berg is in the lead, but have to ride one first,plus Andrew has an ride a tm day coming up, and I might wait for the new wr to come out in approx 3 weeks As my wr 2005 model has not done anything wrong and want brake so, my loyalties are still up and down.It's hard to change when I can't fault the wr except the front end!!!!!!

 Re: Looking to buy a new bike, what do I get
Im leaning too another 450 ktm i recon Haven't ridden anything yet, but my my bikes going better than ever atm so no great rush. Love the light 350 but i like the grunt of the 450....better for 5 gear wheelies If they all have the same efi fuel pumps? Why are some worse than others for pump issues, or are they all having problems?

They have had quite a few electrical problems on the 250 ,310 and 450,s Although the 250and 300 WR,s are indestructable They reckon the new 449 and 511 are pretty good
