BRP on Old Bulls in Australia

Hi all my name is Greg

I own a web site in Australia called Old Bull Trailriders which is mainly for the over 30 trail rider, www.obtrailriders.com

My XR650R was purchased from GHR which is the Honda factory appointed off road race team. The team had built it for the 2005 Australian Safari. The safari was never ran in 2005 so the bike just sat in workshop until I purchased it. I was told that they had spent over 100hrs building the bike and the cost including purchase cost of the bike and all the bits and pieces was over $28000.00. I didnt pay that much (who would?) I worked out to purchase a new XR650 and do the mods I wanted would cost me over $14000, so to buy this one with more mods than I could ever dream of for less then that I was happy as!
