    I also ride a 2013 zx10r, paid $12,500 otd for a 200 mph bike. I looked at the BMW litre bike but it was about $20,000. Awesome bike but just too expensive. Both my 13 te 449 and te 511 were bought on closeout prices $5600 for 449 and $5900 for 511. I looked at the KTM's but otd it was gonna be $11,400....Over $10,000 for a dirt bike is just insane.

    Radar I will keep what I have for a long time, service the heck out of them and enjoy every ride.

    They're here now. I sat on a FE501 today...
    The Italians were lined up facing the Austrians kinda like a showroom standoff.

    It might be insane, but look at the Japanese bikes, and everything you would have to purchase to make it a decent bike. Exhaust, brakes, controls, etc. Your looking at the same price and it's still not on the same level.

    Very true. Maybe cause I'm older now (46) I appreciate the build quality and having something different. I've owned every Japanese bike mx to atv etc and these huskys I now own are by far better quality. Price was a consideration also and with my dealer blowing them out they were cheaper and street legal. I guess price can be what you consider fun and at almost $12,000 for a KTM dirt bike it better be enlightening.

    Yup that was another reason the husky was a screaming deal. In california the dmv is pulling plates on Japanese bikes or can't register them at all. It just seems like the prices are out of control or inflation is causing the outrageous prices. Anyway go husky, I will definitely go sit on and check out the new bikes when my dealer gets them in.
