    So I thought I'd like to get back into a bit of dirt riding........enter the new weapon

    2006 KTM 300EXC 2-stroke

    Came with handguards and one sweet looking bash plate. All I needed to do was add some radiator guards, set the suspension and head for the bush.....which didn't take long :D First Impressions were OMGHOLYCRAPTHISTHINGHASPOWAAAAAAHHH!!!!!!!!

    But after selling my Husky SM610 and replacing it with a VFR800, I felt something was missing in my life......

    So 2 weeks later, problem solved!!!!:cool:

    It's so light and nimble you can carry loads of corner speed. Has no problem shredding the twisties. Pretty good for a lil' 300cc dirt bike haha

    You'll hopefully see me out and about in the dirt, in the twisties, on the track, or maybe even coffee if I'm adventurous enough :p

    Sure was. Were you one of the pair of ZX9's that came past a few times?

    Bike was $5500. Tard kit was $1500

    Clean up the Husky, sell it, should almost be able to straight swap

    Engine will be fine. These bikes are pretty bullet proof. New piston in a few months and should be good for ages.

    Dunno mate. After seeing the aftermath of your last ride I’m not so sure ;)

    Too many torques. You should convert to a 2-stroke which replaces them with lots of topend horses haha

    you would be surprised how many of the top selling brands come from one factory

    however if concerned - even though they give 1 year warranty - which is impossible to claim on from a chinese company I suggest you speak to Ben at extreme powersports australia www.xpsa.com.au
