Hi folks
I'm a new member here, I have a 2011 450 FSR on order, should be doing a deal on it next week when it arrives.

I'm from Canberra Australia, and I've spent the last 6 months researching riding and evaluating various bikes from Husqvarna to Sherco. I currently ride a Husky wr250 2T, but am about to go the GasGas. I always thought that they were the best looking dirt bike out there, and now I get to own one.

It will also be the first brand new Dirt bike I've ever owned.

I recognize a few member names from DBW, on that forum I go by the login Boomer.

Cheers, have a beer on me, my shout !


Skips

Yeah what a sad and sorry affair that is. I don't think it's black and white, but it does seem a bit rough. Mate probably only get $2k for it anyway. Main thing is riding away on a new 450 tho.
