well technically Husaberg judging by the label under the husky sticker. Looks like those guys will just slap stickers on all there old stock and call it Husky!
Ok so the stickers cost me how much again? This is the only bike we've made so far. It will have to rotate between race teams, magazines, and trade shows ya!
They are so on the cent them mattighofeners they didnt even bother to make stickers big enuf to cover up the entire husaberg logo on the crates, guess the austrians been busier with creating all the marketing hype trying to make us dirtlovers believe the old glory days of steve mcqueen and that other superhero are back upon us again, throwing in a few gadgets for the easily fooled - really - if you want a ktm, get a sixdays with all the bells 'n whistles, looks the part, not a dressed down husaktm costing approx the same - although i recognize these tactics setting prices high to sell them discounted, still making profit on the rebated price. It will be a long way before huskyists from the italian era will embrace the rebadgers from austria (more likely to move to beta) but for sure a new breed of huskyfans will sprout up from the dirt again, you can bet mr pierer and his crew will market the frikin daylight out the brand and attract new disciples horny for hva branded toast and earmuffs ;-)
Hey now wait a minute...first they change the stickers on the Bergs to Husky and now the stickers on the cardboard boxes! This has gone way to far for me; I'm out . jk No need to waste a good cardboard box.
For the last Italian 14's BNG was Black New Grips as they must have run out of the red and black that said husqvarna on them. I do like the 110 yrs sticker thouugh
why a moose? wait King Richard works for moose? sounds like a shooter on the grassy knoll conspiricy!
My husky ride on is orange so is my chain saw Mite have to pell the stickers of them and see if they have KTM under them
I personally like the 02-04 platform myself.... I am still digging up the old stuff and making it new....
Brother form another mother. My 2 strokes as of right now and i have owned a lot of newer ones too. Just sold my 09 WR144. 04 CR125 with 165 kit. and 02 CR250
NOT THE BLINGY FORKS ID BEEN KYPEIN ON THE THOSE BAD BOYZ [WORDS TO BUYER O NO IT DOZNT COME WITH FORKS]
The revavled (gold valves) and resprug forks ont he 165 are actually awesome. Went from one of my least favorite forks to my best forks. Love them.
Wow your 2 bangers look just brilliant. I do take your point about some of the early 2000 bikes being very complete and still highly competative. If one can live with a revamped or well maintained older bike then the riding pleasure is still the same. I do feel that the 4 bangers have improved more in the last 10 or so years. This is probably due to the fact that the 2 bangers were more highly developed at that stage and the 4's were still coming off a heavy less performance base. The next best thing will be when they finally deliver a proper 2 stroke with fuel injection. Apparently it will sit more in the middle with better bottom end than current 2's and still have the crazy top end with better fuel economy. This will probably be the tipping point for me to come back to 2 strokes after a 20 year absence as a 4 stroke rider
