mmmm... shiny
The Story Continues......
And so the old gave way to the new....

The latest addition to the wood stable is this 2000 model XR400R.  I was open to new ideas, so I went shopping for a Yamaha WR400, but the Yamaha salesman was a wanker and couldnt give me as good a deal as Mr Honda. The rest is history......

The new XR has a long list of mods already - HRC kit with High Comp piston, Noleen Pipe, Renthal bars, carbon fibre look fork decals  and Factory Effex graphics and gripper seat cover.  Since these photos I've also added black/alloy wrap-around hand guards with short levers aswell!

She goes like a demon, and looks pretty trick too!

The only planned additions for the future are a front braided brake line to improve that spongy XR feel and an aftermarket air filter..... giddee up!
mmmmmm... number plate.....

rrrrrrooooowwwww
This is Honda's new CRF450 due for release soon.  Looks AWESOME hey!!  It's supposed to be honda's answer to yamaha's dominance of the latest in four-stoke dirt weapons.  The bastards at honda must have been waiting for me to buy a brand new, out-dated XR400 before they unleashed this beast on the world. 

not happy.
