    Nick Fahringer/Airgroup Radiant Husaberg Team, broke a sub frame at the Tennessee Knock Out Extreme Race this year. I'm not sure how he crashed though. He had to borrow one from another Husaberg rider's bike. Only time I've heard of this happening.

    I don't think so, they will still be availible. I'm not sure who will sell them though... ex Husaberg dealers, who go with Husky? Most likely any Husky dealer who signs on for the new Husky, as Husky and Husaberg are now merged. Right now, I can buy any part that crosses between Husaberg and KTM, from a KTM dealer. It will be the same with the new Huskys. , You just have to cross reference the Husaberg part numbers, over to comparable KTM part numbers. The Husaberg specific parts have to come from a Husaberg dealer, as KTM dealers can't order them.

    Ty said it flexes for him. I weight 310lbs with my gear on, it seemed solid to me. I rode it and loved it.

    the new Huskys will be the best bikes that KTM never made. At least the enduro/xc models will be.

    Wow you're a big lad

    I am small compared with you (only 185 with gear) and still 5.7 high in the air.

    a 125 would be tortured by you only by riding it around the block :D

    would be interesting to see how it would held up

    Don't get to excited, it's old actual news lol. The problem is that Husky doesn't give actual news because there isn't much to say ;)
