Hi all, I picked up this 2007 FE 450 for a steal off an old guy. 90 Km on the clock 3 hours! Practically brand new.
I put more kay's on the thing on my first ride than it's had in the last 7 years! Yes that's the original rear tyre when I got it home.

Future mods happening soon will be homemade bashplate.
Homemade alloy fuel tank (slimmer than stock)
New plastics to keep the stockers looking good for resale.
New seat foam and cover.
Some backyard suspension work.

Other than that it'll just be plenty of riding / racing and enjoying being back on a bike again especially a berg, loving it

Looks great. Wonder how many more unused bikes are sitting out there waiting to be discovered.
 
The tank will be a little while as I,ve just started working on the bashplate now. A realistic timeframe for me is to make a start in the next 6 to 8 weeks and keep at it fom there.

As far as finding this beast I just got lucky. Came into some money, punched husaberg into gumtree and there it was. I almost felt sorry for the guy as he parted with it for around $9000 less than what they went for new. As for how many more are out there like this one not a lot I guess. 1 less at least.
 
gaah ... lucky lucky!! ... well, maybe there will be a pristine 550 out there for me somewhere when I win the lottery ...
