New bike for some Welsh Rallies
Permalink  

I'm looking for a new bike to use for some of the Welsh rallies this year (Beacons, Cambrian etc)

Keeping the TTR for laning, as it's nice and polite and perfectly suited for lazy days out on the trails, but want something with more legs, more grunt, suited to longer faster trails, possibly gonna put a navigation tower on it and would like something with reasonable choice/options in fuel tank increases and capable of doing some roadwork.

Got a short list at the moment:

KTM 530 EXC (or 525)
Husaberg FE450 (70degree engine)
Husky TE449

Any opinions on any of the above, or suggestions for something else suitable?

That would be rather nice!

What's the deal with your 449? Mileage, any bling/mods etc and what would you be looking for it...

  Is that the bike you had at Hazelwood?, if so, what a lovely looking bike it is.

Depends what your budget is but what about one of these?

or maybe:

Saves you the hassle of altering an existing enduro bike.......
