TE450 too much for a newbie?

Thank you Sir, will do!

Heck, it's your site, hijack away! Hahaha! I'm sitting in the terminal in Norfolk as we speak with wi-fi. We'll be wheels up in another 1.5 hrs. We will have access over there for morale purposes, so I definately will be popping in here regular. I don't think I've left this sight more than an hour or two since I found it! Lot's of good folks and information here!

If you like the idea of 4th gear throttle wheelies, the TE 510 is the way to go. I have the Arrow pipe with 02 sensor in, stock gearing. I am glad I picked it as my first Husky. Be safe over there. :usa:

Please be safe and thank you very much for your service!

I love my TE450 and WHEN you get back I'm sure that you'll love whatever Husky you end up with too.

i have a 07 TE 450, it's my first husky, in fact, it's my first dirt bike in about 25 years. i'm 5'3" and weigh 80kgs. i agree with ioneater, they do get a little heavy to pick up after a long day but it's worth it. the thing is easy to ride fast, easy to maintain ( i love to tinker) and from my experience, bulletproof.
really, as long as you respect the twistgrip you will be fine, i nearly bought a 250 but after years on road bikes i was worried i'd get bored with it and want more power, that's not an issue on the 450, at least for me.

I just moved up from a Cr 85 to a 510, and I don't think it is hard hitting at all. But I can leave my dad (KTM 300) in the dust. It is heavy though...Thank you for your services and be safe
