An factory hard-parts catalog that exists for all to order from and happens to include a larger tank option for all the bikes. Seems like 610's have been left out in the cold on a lot of simple upgrade options.
What is so great about aluminum frames ? Seems to me that the metal Husky and KTM use is a much more versatile material ?
How about a $3999.99 MSRP so I might be able to justify getting another one. Aside from that, what would get my attention for a second bike would be an electric start WR300, with larger tank in the 3.0gal range......and seat height no more than 37" (tank and seat ht request for ALL models) Type of bike that seems missing anymore is the simple casual trail bike or play bike if you want to call it that.......torquey 150-200cc 4stroke, 6spd, electric start, enduro lights, +/-3.0 gal tank, 9.5-11" good suspension travel, 11+" ground clearance, seat ht 35-36", could even be air cooled, ready to ride wt below 250lbs.
The Husky tank I found in the catalouge (P# 8000H2201) holds 2.1 gal. (8.1 ltr) We talkin' 'bout the same one?
1. TE450 with the counter balancer from the SMR's, 3.5 gallon tank. 2. TE350 w/wider ratio tranny. 3.5 gallon tank. 3. WR300 EFI, 3.5 gallon tank, Street Legal. Any one of these would find a place in the garage. R/ Mike
Nice thread Krieg! I'll take an updated WR144 or WR200 with a button. A Husqvarna line of quality made bicycles would rock my world also. Those orange people have a bike line. WR Bob
2011 TC450 with good race ready closed course FI and 20lbs less heavy than the '08-'09. optional bigger tank for it in the hardparts catalogue.
Since I will nt be buying a new bike anytime soon. How bout more miles on the bike I already own this season.
- More parts suppliers/dealers in Canada! - More Aftermarket parts I don't think I'll ever be able to justify buying a new bike, therefore I need parts to fix up the peices of junk I can afford.

agreed,,,,alu tech is cool but Ducati has MotoGp wins and championships using their "old tech" trellis steel chassis. Alu tech has not won too many world enduro championships either, and now Kato is really on the prowl for MX #1s using the CrMo frames
thats a DS bike. I want to see one with a bigger motor, bags and a fairing for real adventure / long ass days.
its definitely not a 990 or a GSA, and me being an ex-klr rider, the 630 DOHC still aint gonna cut it lol
