Where do I get one of these!! Chooka

anything but XXXX I drink Carlton Draft when on tap and Victoria Bitter in Can/Stubbies Chooka

Hilier Bros did a few coupes in the AU days. Chooka

Spot on, either three are perfect but ride as many bikes as you can!! Chooka

The simple fact is he has 3 - 6 grand to spend, wants little maintence and something to suit his riding level. we are giving this guy an idea of what will suit HIM not what we would buy...... DRZ 400 ticks all the boxes that he requires.... Chooka

I got three goes... Chooka

Smoked him! Chooka

Yep, luck of the draw, but you know how it is once you have been bitten, your brain tells you that it was a one off but you can't get it out of the back of your mind! LOL I am actually a little interested in the Gas Gas's now, heard a few good reports so might check them out..... Thought I would of got a bite from Jordak by now........ oh well Chooka

I think you misread my post, I said I WOULD'T go a 250F DRZ 400 would be a good bike Chooka

I am not knocking KTM in general I guess it's just my mates and I have had a bad rum with them, I had a KTM 300, got it as it was pretty much a race bike I could register and ride down the the main street to the bush if you know what I mean? It was quite possibly the worst bike I have owned in my 17 odd years or riding and Racing, may have been a lemon I don't know but seemed to blow up whenever it was the least conveniant compared to the Jap 2 strokers. It was also not my ideal handling bike but this may have been cause I did all my racing on CR's and RM's and was just used to them???? Then just 2 weeks ago my best mate picked up a brand new 525, we went for a ride after a bit of a run in and with just 50km on the clock spits the gearbox out the side of the case..... like I said mayde we are in the minority of riders with KTM's but I'm not a fan. They do come with more equipment than the Jap bikes IE pipes, disks suspension etc, but you pay for it..... I would sooner buy the jap bike and go out and get aftermarket gear like I have done now, Pro cuirct pipe, afam bars, excel rims, new rotors, cruise tune suspension etc as I beleive these are better than the KTM gear anyway. But like you said, it is hard to pick a bad bike,............. unless you go chiense... hey Jordak... Chooka

If it's still under a warranty I would make them replace it, won't cure the problem but will subside a little for a while. Not entirely sure exactly the cause but you would presume backlash or general slack in the drive train. Chooka

It comes standard mate, It's out of warranty so they are actually saving you some cash! There are guy's on here that have had upto 10 diffs put in and still have a clunk, most now drive around it now..... Chooka

Sorry Tmac, don't share your sentaments on the KTM's, I think they have gone down hill the last few years......... I would not be recomending a YZ 250F for the riding he would be doing, he is also on a budget buy sounds of it so I would not touch a KTM that fell into his price range. best advise is ride as many as you can and talk to a many different people as possible as almost every person differs in what they want to be doing on a trail bike and what they think is the most fun!! Enjoy! Chooka

The Turtle man speaks some truth and concur with everything he has said!!! DRZ is bullet proof and won't bite!! You are off the mark on the 2 bangers though as Turtle said, the new for stroke race bikes IE CRF, RMZ Etc blow up constantly and are shocking for anything else but pro supercross/motocross riders who don't mind the rebuilds. Think like 4g's to repair one of these compared to 500 bucks Max for a 2 stoke pistion and rings. This is why I just bought one of the last ever 2 stoke CR 250's, much better bike for what I want..... Chooka

Not sure what Rubber parts for the brakes they would need to import from over here?? Seems strange to me.... Chooka

I have V8 at present but think the turbo spooling and then dumped pressue is almost up there!! Chooka

West Coast eagle major sponser, Hungry Jack has just realesed the new "Ben Cousins Meal" It has..... No Burger No Fries Just Coke and Ice!! Chooka

There is an issue with receiving PM etc notification, it is being investigated by the Mod's I beleive..... Chooka

"Devious Honey Brett Squeeze" Ok That's disturbing....... Chooka

You promised not to tell!! The nasal spray is working though Chooka
