    I saw US prices posted on FB for the 2018 Huskys. A $300 price rise for the TE150, from $7999.00 to $8299.00. I sure hope they haven't cut any content out, with the price increase.... Rumor was that D.I.D. wheels will be replaced on Enduro models, with the Giant wheels that KTM uses. That's a downgrade in my eyes....

    "At my own discretion" I chose not to put the $$$ into a new bike last year, and opted to wait for the 18... That $300 was disappointing to see, yes, but I'm still on the list for the '18 150xcw.

    As for the Giant rims, I have two bikes with Giants, and Holy Smokes they've been good! Tough as nails for me. Still straight, spokes staying tight, and no cracks. I will have to say that I'm very meticulous about checking wheels. Every time I take the tire off, the tire-less wheel goes back on the bike and I true and tighten as necessary. Only a "little" has been needed, but maybe that's what these Giants need?

    Giant wheels on my '16 200 have been fine, But I like the look of the D.I.D. on my Husaberg and Husky. Husky is supposed to be a little nicer than a KTM....

    Well Norm,

    Looks like you gonna have to shoe an extra horse for the difference of the 17 to 18 prices.

    Then you gonna have to shoe another horse for your rims.

    That's only two horses extra.

    Just teasin ya Norm! You better get one!

    Nother philosophy?

    Maybe in 19 the TPI 150 breaks for $8999?

    Maybe they are moving the bar a little so it does look like a $1,000 hit?

    As far as marketing goes...... That's exactly what I would do......

    My '17 was $7399 OTD. I told my wife in two years I'm going to buy a fuel injected bike and she oddly didn't seem as excited about it as I did. $9k would be a tough pill to swallow...

    Well, my dealer got an 18 150 xc-w and I just couldn't stand it. Had to bring it home.

    I should probably just get another KTM, as there are still '17 and now '18 bikes at the local dealers. '18 TE150's don't come until September.

    The September thing was the deciding factor for me.

    I almost did the '16 200 as a Husaberg, but the orange frame killed it. I don't have dartyppyt"s, ambition to strip the bike and powder coat the frame yellow. This would be an easy conversion!

    I understood the tc 250 went up a hundred....$300 for a already overpriced small bore...holy cow.....tc 125 with 150 kit...still barely justifiable.. As a tc 250 is only 300 more...

    Slightly apples and oranges....TE150 has more equipment than a TC125 with a 150 kit or a TC250.
    Price is reaching the the "Flinch Point" though....

    In 1982 I bought my first new Husky. A beautiful black tank 430XC. Thought I had lost my mind for paying $2000 OTD for that one. What WAS I thinking, spending that kind of money on a hobby?

    My point actually is a tc 125 is only 300 cheaper then a tc 250.....when in reality a 125 used to be app 800-1000 less..flinch point for sure. 250 better bang for buck whether a Te or tc in my book..at that small a price difference..
