    That one is 10.025 EURO. Quite a difference.

    Belgium's price... that's $7532 (as of July 3) in US dollars. Even if they wiggle that upwards for shipping, etc,... pricing like that will sell motorcycles. SWM needs to get moving on US imports before the Euro rebounds. This bike, and a two stroke trail bike, are on my shopping list.

    On an unrelated note, a kidney is for sale on Ebay.

    AUS dollars Erik? ideally id like a mid size 4T(cant believe im writing this hope OMG doesnt see:o) but the sleeved down 300 lacks appeal to me somewhat & a 500 would be fun for smashing some long distance rides on! $200 price difference bugger all too. even more interesting!:cheers:

    Oh sorry, no Merican Dollar. 9571 AUD, so 10k indeed.

    youre killing me erik. i was nursing half a semi at the price you said:D. id reckon they wouldnt wanna be any more expensive than that here as the betas are only(only WTF!) $12k here. sub $10K is a big psychological factor for some & easier to help persuade the missus. all of a sudden $9990 becomes 'honey its a steal at 9 grand'. she wouldnt be concerned with that extra $990 would she & i hate to worry her pretty little head:lol:

    plus the old huskies were being run out for $6-$9K(model dependent obviously) so would be a hard sell for a chinese engined bike that is the same thing only more expensive than 2 years ago. bring out the 250/300 for $8K so i can sell the wr300 & buy a SWM then swap all my bits straight over! yeah baby

    Yeah my math said 9500 - 9999. They should definitely be under 10k here (4500-5000 cheaper than a FE501)

    I had a 09' txc510. Beast! Not a snappy engine but loads of torque and got the power to the ground.

    No, the 310 Husky (300 SWM) is a bored 250, same stroke.

    "Motocross racing in Europe by 2016. And there’s a lot more to come; Shineray envisages a range of off-road racing, street and adventure models, including a 900 cc multi cylinder engine available by 2018. If we are to speculate, an evolution of the Husqvarna Nuda 900 twin inescapably comes to mind."
