AdvRider article looking back on the x bikes

Interesting article, previously owned all incarnations of the x-bikes, plus 650's, currently a 310 (rally raid'd) But not the pleasure of an HP2.

That was the one I'd missed as well. And to think they couldn't shift them when new.
 
That’s a good read.

I was in the Pyrenees a few years back on my 2009 450 and swapped with my mate’s 2010 with the gold forks. I’m slow off-road preferring self preservation to medals but even I couldn’t believe the differences between the two. Whereas mine would continually climb out of ruts and lose rear traction, his was like riding on rails.

I never knew my X-Challenge shared suspension with the HP2 either
 
Mine was a 2009 too, never really got a chance to use it, had a KTM 950SE up for sale and a German dealer came over to buy it, saw the 450 parked up in the workshop and decided to take that as well.
 
Great article Gareth, really enjoyed that. Thanks for posting. Btw, still got my g450x.
