Saw the 450 the other day and it looked quite good, although I can't see the rubber bung over the petrol filler lasting long and the side stand snaps up like a gin trap as soon as a little weight is taken off the bike which could lead to a lot of cussing and swearing and stationary drops as it takes people unawares.  😳

What do you mean by “Racing Bikes”, to my mind you can race what you like and as for road legal Japanese enduro or trail type bikes what about the Suzuki DRZ series, Yamaha WF, Honda XR, Kawasaki KLX, etc etc. and all about half the price of a 450 beema and have been going for years and reliable as well.
