TESTED: 2024 HUSQVARNA TE300 vs FE350
Let’s assume you’ve made you choice about what brand of motorcycle you want to buy. But how do you then choose between the two-stroke and four-stroke models it offers? Which machine is inherently better suited to you, and why? What sort of terrain does each excel in? And would your decision change if you spent more time riding chopped-up racetracks rather than smoother trails?
To answer those age-old questions, we put Husqvarna’s biggest-selling two- and four-stroke enduro models - the 2024 TE300 and FE350 - up against each other at a Transmoto 8-Hour event; tested by a couple of event regulars and Husky fanatics - father and son combination, Rob and Marcus Dummer.
We gave the boys chance to recce the track while it was still smooth ahead of the weekend, and then checked in with them again on Sunday arvo after they’ve raced the bikes for eight gruelling hours around what evolved into a very different (and much rougher!) beast.
Here are their thoughts on the differences between the machines, each model’s strengths and weakness, and which was their favourite and why...

Leatt Launch: 2024 Transmoto 8-Hour at Narrabri, NSW

The all-new "Leatt Launch" was an absolute hit at the recent Transmoto 8-Hour at Narrabri. What is it, exactly? Think a head-to-head, race-your-mate launch from a moto-style start gate ... except it differs from a conventional drag race because, rather than crossing a finish line at full speed, the winner of each heat and final will be the rider who comes to a complete stop inside their 5x5m fi...

Polished highlight videos can fool a viewer.

2024 Yamaha WR450F: R&D Backstory with AJ Roberts
Переглядів 3,4 тис.3 місяці тому
How has Yamaha’s WR450F continued to top the off-road motorcycle sales charts in Australia ever since it first arrived in 1998? Well, you could point to several reasons. But one of the key drivers of that enduring sales success is the fact that this model has been specifically developed by Yamaha Motor Australia for Australian riders and Australian terrain. And that design ethos continues to ap...

In spite of Yamaha’s WR450F consistently being the biggest-selling off-road model in Australia for 25 years, it comes in for a complete overhaul for 2024. The new model’s ergos are slimmer, lower and more compact. There are sweeping changes to its bodywork, engine, clutch and transmission. It cops a heap of mass centralisation measures. It’s the beneficiary of a more owner-friendly Power Tuner ...
DUCATI’S DESERTX RALLY: WHERE IT SHINES
Переглядів 2,8 тис.3 місяці тому
On paper, Ducati’s DesertX Rally model is significantly different from the ‘standard’ DesertX it’s based on. But how significant is the Rally model’s performance advantage when you take it into more challenging off-road terrain? And does that advantage warrant a $12,000 price tag premium! At the Rally model’s recent international media launch in Morocco, we compared notes about the two DesertX ...

    Why change the seat it's soft enough nice and firm. who wants a soft seat.. nice review by the way . I own the RR390 2023.. love it, nice and linear, I'm using the rain and sun maps but never used traction control wanna have the control over the back wheel in the turns and with the traction control I'm afraid of highsiter 😂

    i think what gives the WR450F the turning ability is done by the angle the front wheel and fors are mounted so when you turn the bike wants to lean itself into the turns.

    I agree with what Chopper said here. He makes a lot of sense. As far as I'm concerned if you kill the right people you're alright by me. Sadly many people misunderstood Mark. An example would be, if you were standing with Chopper and Dennis Bruce Allen who would you take sides with? Any sensible person would choose Chopper Read. This proves how brainwashed and warped people are. Thank fuck Mark was around when he was needed or else more innocent good people would have been murdered.

    Man I’m so torn. I can’t decide between the 250rr and the 300rr. I like to hit all kinds of enduro trails. But I’m 6ft and 110kg. Thinking the 300rr might be best. Got Yamaha wr450f at the moment and it’s a heavy pig on the tight stuff. The thought of a 250 or 300 beta is bliss.

I only wish they would do more colours in the plus size (c-sized) gear as it is black black and more black. My winter jacket doesnt even have any reflection which was a concern for me.
