I have a chance to pick up this well taken care of 180hour bike with lots of extras for under 3k, seems like a helluva deal. Any of you gals have or ride one? I rode it last night, just for a few minutes in the dark, and so far I like it. He's gonna let me ride it for a day before I buy it, in a few weeks, so I'll find out how I like it in different types of terrain, etc. Just wondered if any of you have opinions, etc.

This bike is way lighter than my KLX400 with way better suspension. I'm still looking out for that great singletrack bike but this will be a better multi-purpose DSer. Considering how well its been taken ccare of and how many extras are on it, etc it may be a deal I won't be able to pass up.

Yes this bike is heavy but it is lighter than the KLX400. As for a great single tracker think GasGas EC250 or the GasGas six day

The bike will find me, I don't have money to throw around so I look for deals, like this 450.

I was on my way to the kitty food store, but the Husqvarna shop is on that route so I stopped in to drool. The salesguy sez "You know you want it. Why not buy it?" I told him that I didn't have any dough to buy the bike, not even a down payment. He said, "No problem, they'll finance almost anybody with a pulse!" Well, who can resist such a throwdown like that? Certainly not anybody with a FICO that's over 800. Payments are just a litle over a hundred a month.

Thanx. How did you get the pics to show? I clicked on the imgage box at the top and pasted in my url but nothing happens. I'm not doing anything different than I used to do and it always workd with the old format, not to mention on other sites.
