Want to ask about a 450
 
Thinking about this
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Other...#ht_500wt_1182

What can you tell me...this is the last year for the 450fse right?
I am looking at Husaberg 450s as well...2010 and 2011. What differences might I see? What are the pros of a GasGas over a Husaberg or Husqvarna?

I just sold my 06 WR450 and I am looking to get into fuel injection...mostly single track and woods riding. Looking to do some hare scrambles. I am C+ rider at best. 6'4" 225lbs.

I know there are some aftermarket parts...main thing I would ask is about fuel tank and exhaust...what are the options.

Does this bike look like a good deal. Any known issues with the last of the 450s??

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Looks fine to me if you like 4 srtokes.A bigger tank is availible,exhaust is fine standard.My 06 is still going hard with only normal service items done.
The burg is worth alook at though.
They are small for a 4fiddy compared to your wr.You'll need a tall seat and bar risers for your size.Price? I dunno.

Friend of mine just bought an ec450 for six grand new. Holdover 2010. I like the bike alot, and I'm sure he has about 100 hours with not a single issue he hasn't caused himself

Call Mark @ GoFasters, he has a brand new 450 Holdover. I forget what year, but it is the newest version of the motor.

I sent them an email...don't have enough time to call between patients right now. Thanks for the heads up.

Can someone experienced with the late FSE bikes give me a quick pros and cons list of owning a GG.

I mean dealer and parts I get it....I have to order....not a problem. Outside of that...pros and cons. Likes and dislikes.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I've got a 2010 450, Absolutely luv it. Sleek, flickable, and 54hp.

I can't really think of any cons...ok, get the flywheel weight with it.

All my ridin buddies are down sizing to smaller lighter 2 strokes...sometimes i think I'd trade it for a 2010 ec 300, but I honestly can't imagine giving up this bike yet.

I think there is only like 6 of them in the country or something (mine is serial number 0000001). I really can't understand why they stopped making this model.

Who makes the bigger tank for it? Not Clark. (I have a Clark on my '05, but they don't make one for the '10)

I am quite sure they do, if not, you can special order them with the fuel pump cutout.

So I guess next question is what does anyone know about the 515s....Mark has one for a very good deal that I am considering now. Let me know what you know.
