I have a 2004 450 en and it's a sick bike, just look at the list of goodies they come out with stock. It handles well, stops well and has good power. Just watch the forward kickstart slip off to shin destruction when starting the thing. Parts are drying up fast, I need a piston if anyone knows where to get one..... Like any 4 Stroke if its been thrashed the valves and seals will need attention which is not cheap, thats why I just got a KTM 300 exc....................Go the smoker

Unless it was meticulously cared for, I would be very leary of buying one.
They are works of art, IMO, and need to be cared for as such.

quirky...

VOR...I know that over here in the UK these are what we call in the trade a 2 day bike...you will love her the day you buy her and then jump for joy the day you manage to shift it on to the next owner...they are very very very very very very sticky bikes to re-sell in the UK :whoa:


....I think they very good bikes with superb std' specification and were a fortune new..... it's just that they are an 'unknown quantity', expensive on spares and more than a little quirky in a lot of areas. I would ask around to see that there is anyone whom will be prepared to work on and her if she goes bang and from where, and how much you are gonna get spares.

Factory has stopped shipping parts several months ago.Unfortunetly you will struggle to keep it running.Not known for reliability.
Can be nice bikes but be gentle or something will break.
Aftermarket pistons available for 450 from Vertex or Wossner.

If my only two choices were orange or VOR, I also would choose an orange colored motorcycle.
