701 Enduro 2017
Reluctantly up for sale is my 2017 Husky 701 Enduro. I've owned it since September last year and have done the grand total of 1000 miles on the bike. The mileage is currently 4900 and is unlikely to go any higher. It was serviced by the previous owner prior to my purchase and the MOT expires on 19 O...

701 enduro buying advice
Looking at a 2017 701 enduro on ebay. Sure some of you may have seen it, 4k on the clock and going for an attractive price. Couple of things I'd welcome thoughts on. 1. Exhaust header looks pretty corroded which I find quite surprising on a 3 year old bike. 2. Fork seals required replacing at a rece...

Re: 520 exc or GP450
Cheers Mike, unfortunately budget is tight at the moment. Think I'm going to sit and wait for a bit and top the bike fund up.

Re: 520 exc or GP450
Lots of great replies here with lots of pros and cons to consider. The 520 exc sold before I even got to see it but hey, obviously wasn't supposed to have it. My main concerns about the CCM are reliability and availability of spares. Having searched fleabay, there's a 530 exc-r which has caught my e...

Re: 520 exc or GP450
I can't comment on the KTM but on the CCM , you really felt like it would go anywhere; I did a 10, 000 mile trip on mine and it was very easy to ride each day. I do have reservations though on how long CCM will keep supporting this bike as they have moved away from specialising in what could have b...

Re: 520 exc or GP450
I'm another one for the KTM RFS but you do need to be aware that some pre 2004 KTM spares are now obsolete. Things like header pipes and exhaust manifolds are becoming hard to find in good condition as are front wheel hubs. That is an 18 year old bike We have several KTM RFS engined bikes with very...

520 exc or GP450
Advice and thoughts from the ADV community. Got the opportunity to buy a 2002 520 exc which I'm considering using as the basis for a rally/ dual sport project. I've got the cash for the initial outlay and then I intend to do the rest of the project over the next 12 months before the rescheduled ABR ...
