I'd be disowned here if I bought that, atleast you have another husky as a backup. Lol I'm working on it though, there was a minor set back with a new baby
On a positive note, The new bikes look great and SP has taken great fanfare to relaunch his vision of Husqvarna. (Hopefully my next comments do not stray far from this thread title) What's to become of our previous generation machines? I mean, if I blow the tranny from my SMR 450/530, do I start sourcing replacement parts from eBay? How about support for the 449/511 line? Or the Terra/Strada, Nuda? Will pricing be on the Husaberg or KTM level? I still have questions/ concerns about the longevity of my 3 bikes that go beyond 2014. I'm not in the market for a new bike, but if I were, I'd be looking at the new Husky. It's no longer different or unique, it's very much like the Japanese bikes; pick your color. I hope dealer support here in the great white north will be better than previously done.
He was born on the 28th and I'm already brainwashing him with YouTube videos and motorcycle magazines It was funny because with taxes last year mywife gave me the "ok" for a bike and then about 2 weeks later we found out lol I'm thinking one of us planned it that way lol I wouldn't trade him for anything though, it's so cool watching them grow up. It wil be nice because when the kids are older we can trade bikes
I'm 54 now and my son is 32; we have traded bikes many times . He's on what was my 2011 TM 250Mx and I have his 2010 TC250. Hey I now have four grandkids on bikes and a new grandson born on the 30th of September and I'm already letting him hear bikes being tested as I decide on my next bike purchase. It's all good and makes this whole Huskaberg deal not seem like such a big deal. Enjoy!
Got ya. And not a problem. And not the only guy out there. Not really complaining. Stating simple facts. But like my new attitude. Just don't care and would rather take time to teach my son how to ride his new PW 50!...........................................And at least it looks ALOT better as a Husky then it ever has as a KTM.....................................LOL I'm with ya. A good informative site for everyone.
I think the new bikes look great , and i think they will only get better in time . i for one am so glad KTM now owns HUSKY , at least KTM will try to make the brand strong , BMW sucked AND always will, no matter what they produce . even if the model i bought was a BMW/HUSKY afterthought ,. at least it has husky stickers LOL .
Many of us love the 449/511 platform here. And the much BMW TR650. BMWs are all over ADV doing amazing things. To say they suck is a big stretch IMHO but we are all open to our opinions. I am far from a BMW lover but also dont hate their products and do like some of the advances they seems to be willing to try. I rode a friends 1300R several times. It is actually an amazing bike.
Good one! My son had to get his 3 year old son a Yamaha PW50 because it had to be blue like his dad's TM.
My oldest son wants a Kawasaki just because it's green. A blue and yellow Husky 65 was on Craigslist but he said it looked like a girls bike lol. Maybe my daughter would appreciate it
I agree I have a few Huskies still --Loved my SM 610 -2006 --There are just soooooo many facets to riding bike for me. -- But sold it for these -- Gave the one Aprilla to my Girlfriend --We call them --The Terrible Twins --Must say some of the best fun we have had in years --besides my two 610TE's we ride on dirt --
hm interview with new manager http://www.enduro21.com/index.php/c...liver-göhring-–-husqvarna’s-managing-director
I read only street legal bikes being supermotos. That is nice and all but would not end up in my garage.
