It's pretty good, I road my dr650 today and it has so much more grunt but not so good to ride on the road , it is a great bush pig.

Thanks for watching, it was still fun even in the rain. Can't get enough of riding this bike.

I made it sound like we were going bird watching with a twist at the end 😆. Thanks for watching. The worst thing about rain is fogging up and water gets on the inside of visor . Looking at the dji for my next camera when the 5 comes out.

@bazz6670 yep I've gone to the dji 4 and it runs rings around gopro.

Thanks for checking out the video.

Thanks for checking out my vid. Really nice area.

Thanks, it is a fun bike.

Thank you Petros.

Yea we didn't really set it up but appreciate the use of it.

Yea looks like a great area to explore. We will go back there when it's drier. Thanks Patric.

No, not what you normally see in a tree.

There are so many good spots, we ride Lerderderg a lot , Brisbane Ranges, Mnt Cole, lots of spots around Ballarat. What part of vic are you.

@@bazz6670 Hey thanks a lot mate. I'm out the other side near the Mornington Peninsula. Usually head Gippsland way but keen to explore some riding over West.

@@bazz6670 i'm not far from Mt. Cole in the Pyrenees. i have about 2K's of tar before i reach the dirt tracks to the hills.

Thanks Mark , I'm nearing 60 too and same reason I bought the 450. I do have two other bikes but probably won't ride them now.

@@bazz6670 yeah i've still got a 'modern' enduro Husaberg FE501 (03) (my favourite bike ever!) and a few Vintage MX weapons but i haven't been riding them; as much as i love them, the 'Berg is bloody hard work to ride these days (pay attention at all times son); it's not a bike built for taking it casually and nor is it comfortable to sit on for any amount of time; and i don't bounce anywhere near as good as i used to! as much as i love racing the VMX bikes, it has become stupidly expensive for me; i can't justify to myself spending near $300 to do about Two hours of riding; a few hours travelling in the car; fuel to get to the track; fuel for the bikes; entry fee; license fee; food and drinks...it all adds up; i'm out near Avoca in the Pyrenees; where's your home base?

@markhills3922 I'm in Geelong, we have done a few trips around your way. Love going through Mnt Cole then Avoca hills , Pyrenees on the way to Teddington Hut.

@@bazz6670 ah...i was hoping you'd be a bit closer; not to worry; there are some great tracks in the Pyrenees ranges; did a bit of riding up at Mt. Cole on my (then) '06 Gas Gas 450 but was limited by fuel capacity; i lived pretty much at the base of Mt.Cole (Elmhurst) at the time so going for a quick roost in the hills wasn't an issue; did run out of fuel one day though which made for a very long walk in MX boots.... now where we are i have about 2K's of tar before i hit the dirt into the hills; i haven't explored as much as i'd like to due to the Husaberg being the thirsty beast it is but i have a good loop to Avoca where i could get fuel; have a good loop to Elmhurst and back but nearly ran out of fuel...then on my last ride on the 'Berg i had a 'not-too-clever', way-too-fast sideways moment beside the railway tracks and broke Two ribs (among other things) when i high-sided onto the tracks; took me about half hour before i could pick the bike up; that put an end to my solo adventures. i don't get up as quick these days!

@@markhills3922 wow sounds painful, I've slowed down these days. Takes too long to recover. You live in a great area.

That is what I'm looking at now, but should I wait for next model.

I'm sure glad to help, JTF565 15RB. The brand I used is a JT. I know there are many bikes that use this same sprocket so hopefully you can find one.

It's pretty good , better for hwy and still plenty of power in the dirt

Economy was about the same, 4 /4.5 ltr per 100 ks. I have just had first service done so will see if it gets better now. It runs in a bit. Cheers

@@bazz6670 Thanks for the reply, I look forward to a full test, according to my local CFMoto dealer the 450MT's are "on the water". Looks like a great bike and I love that sound but I'm not prepared to have GS like consumption...so 4-4.5 sounds great not sure about speeds though. Maybe a tank to tank video is needed ;).

where out west are you? i'm near Avoca.

@@markhills3922 Werribee not far

@@adamg6199 cool....

If you look on the net at the barkbusters site it says they have them . I actually bought the hardware from mx247 store and storm covers from AMX. I was doing a vid on them but become corrupted and couldn't use footage. Cheers

@@bazz6670 Ok, thanks for that.

We don't have that function here, only in china

I would would ride 450 mt any day, it is way smoother motor over the single. The tr is more bush bike, I find it quite a small feeling bike and ergonomics don't suit me. I ride long distances to get to places and I don't think I tr would be very comfortable.. got to remember 450 mt is a new design with much better features. Hope that helps,

@@bazz6670 Thanks a lot! I need to go and test drive those both. As I have Honda XR400R which I am going to keep (forever), more touring oriented 450MT seems a better option to compliment XR at this point. On paper at least. 😊

I will be selling the dr and my Tiger. Be good to just have one registration to pay.

Yes, still 15, it does well

They are doing pretty good, clay is bad with any tyre. Really nice on the road. When they ware down I'll get something more off road. These are a 70 profile too . Most tyres are 80. Cheers

@@bazz6670 thanks.. I am getting my bike this weekend and can’t wait

@@akagadget enjoy mate, so far everyone is really enjoying the bike.

@@akagadget woohoo....i'm going in to put a deposit on mine today (Saturday); dealers say i should have the bike by end of month; Happy Days!

They are Barkbusters with storm gaurds. Unfortunately, the video I was making didn't work.

Yes I am , I'll wear these down a bit before getting something more aggressive

Speedometer in kilometre?

Yes just outside Ballarat, Victoria, Australia.

@@sportmuaythaiv1045 yes kmh

Good old clay.

A little rain won't stop us. But it was nice to get warmed up once home.
