Just thought I'd throw up a quick post about my new play bike. It makes a lovely addition to the stable meaning the GS will now take care of mostly long distance duties.
When I was looking for an enduro\trail bike I decided to buy a Honda as apposed to the more common choice of a KTM since I have a history of riding Honda's (XR400, CR250, CRF450R) and have always liked them and are familiar with them. Besides that, I have a pair of red gloves that I needed matching bike for so...
When I started calling around to get prices the Honda was £500 cheaper than any other new bike out there, not bad for the bike that won the Baja 500 and Baja 1000. The 2008 onward bikes comes with steering dampers fitted which probably saves another £300+, electric start, etc.
Ordered mine from Doble Honda in Coulsdon. Great service, no messing around and the guys even fitted a Trailtech Vapor computer and XC lighting kit so I don't have hassles on the trails.
Will be getting out on it soon and will update when I can.
