Just after the dealer meeting in early Oct, there was speculation/rumor that most '09 models would be available in Nov, with the TE and WR models to come in January. I've asked a couple of dealers if they have any news about the '09 models arrival and they say there is no info forthcoming. Has anyone asked their local Husky dealer and gotten any indication of when ANY '09 models will hit the showroom floors? I wonder if the economic meltdown has caused BMW to delay production and delivery dates.... Watching the Husky UK site, I don't see any TE310/WR300 release info. They previously showed: TE250/450/510 - In stock TE310 - end of September WR125, 250 & new 300 - mid October So far, they've only announced TE250/450/510 and TC450 availability.
I'm only focused on my WR125, so I didn't pay close attention...... I heard that TXC's and TC's (Excluding TC250) first, late November-December; TE's and WR 250 next, late December- early January; TC250, WR125, WR300 mid January; TE610 Spring.
Please do not buy anymore Husky's! It breaks my heart when you strip down such a beautiful beast and put blue plastic on them. Jokes...man I'm feeling fiesty right now!?!? I'm just kidding with you ramz...great job with all the empirical data that you have accumulated on your 610! It seems like this is no different than last year as I was one of the first to pick up my 08 TE 450 early in 2008. I think 2010 will be the "YEAR" when BMW gets it right! David
Insert whatever year, and change BMW for Husky and i think all of us have said this at least once. haha.
no parts. no bikes, again. no race teams. no advertisements. no trade shows. no hard parts. no nothing. Just 2 years ago bikes came early, parts were easy, aftermarket was on board, new models announced, dual sports arrived, things were great. now Husky is sinking. its sad.
I just spoke to Steve at Hall's and new '09 Husqvarnas are now in-country. Dealers are ordering units from the US warehouse and Hall's expects theirs to arrive next week or the week following (due to possible Turkey-day delay). Some TXC and TE models are in the mix but alas, no TE310. They expect the new-for-'09 models to be in-country at the end of January. So tell the wife to shop where she wants on Black Friday (day after T-day) because you'll be kickin' tires, bouncin' on the seat, and twistin' the throttle on the '09s at your nearest Husky dealer.
I was talking to a UK Husqvarna dealer early this morning and after we concluded our business, I casually asked if he had any '09 models. I was pretty sure he did, because of announcements on the main Husqvarna UK web site about '09 models. MikeC told me that they indeed had '09 models on the floor and had sold some units. He told me he heard that a boatload was shipped to the US recently and US dealers should be getting '09s in THIS week. I asked if he'd sold any TE310s and he said yes he had. So I asked if he'd ship a TE310 to me and he said he'd be happy to but I declined; it would probably be a futile effort. So how about it; are any of you riders seeing '09 models at your local dealers yet? Any '09 news at all? Are the '09s lost at sea? Anybody...........
When the word is "a boat full of Husky's has been shipped to the US" that usually means they are still 6 weeks or more away. Well, that's the way it's been the past 2 years anyways.
