    This was my first ride as well I was the first to ride the dealers new racing 450 today. The bike is fantastic my ability was wanting and totally unfit. I do know that 30 minutes on a tight trail had my arms tired and sore with pain. The seat was hard at first, but you don't notice once your riding the 450. I never got out of first gear on the tight sandy tree section. Called the gut buster trail. I didn't want to damage the bike out on a tree. 😮DSC03224.jpgDSC03225.jpgDSC03226.jpg

    Woodhill forest is a real blast and a pleasure on a light bike. You don't need much power to enjoy it, or there is a chance you will damage the trees. Woodhill should still be in range for your bike, without wearing out the tyres too much before you arrive.I can believe that you won't feel the seat while riding amongst the trees. I found that I needed to shed some gear very quickly, it does get quite hot very quickly.There are plenty of Enduro events you could take part in. You now have the equipment to do it with.

    Yep, I've seen that. I have no intention of buying one, so I'll pass on that. I am still  very happy with the R80GS. In the future I may buy a cheap 250 to throw around Woodhill.

    They run a sausage sizzle. That's probably not cultured enough for you fog dwellers.
