    There ya go using facts and whatnot to dampen the joy of rampant, baseless and unfounded speculation....;)

    I heard Reeds KTM is a sleeper, it really has a Husky engine in it :)

    Many. Too many.
    Reed tweeted some pictures of a Husqvarna billboard and several other Husqvarna items ..... He's a jokester and loves the "tractor watch" so it's hard to tell, but it is more suggestive than just a white fender.......

    I heard the rumor from a pretty good source, I am thinking that 22 Motorsports and Husky is a reality.

    I hope that CR22 does well on that bike but I expect lots of drama from the younger fans that know little of the Husqvarna brand.

    You know this is going to be fun watching all the Moto heads that dont know about the sale and the KTM base of the new Husky. It really is a "silly season" that will continue right into the 2014 racing season.

    I think there's a better chance of him showing up on a KTM.

    They dont need more KTM brand awareness....they need Husqvarna on display in the big arena...and on TV.

    I agree completely. But I don't think that will happen this year.

    Well, this is interesting;

    At the Motocross of Nations you will see a 300cc 2-stroke Husqvarna


    But, this is not;

    They are not a KTM, they are Husqvarna, and we had a short time to make our own bikes for Husqvarna. This will split more with the second and third model ranges.

    I also have a feeling that Andy Jefferson will be the new Husky race team manager here in the states.

    Andy J and Derek Sorenson were with FAR at the Unadilla GNCC and I'm pretty sure Andy J was at the Black Coal Enduro...

    Just puttin' 2 and 2 together...adding a little fuel for the feeling...

    It looks like no Reed for Husky. Taken from a racerX interview.

    So basically doing the math here, we got a KTM or a Kawasaki for you. Can you rule out a Husky deal that’s been rumored?Husky’s not ready to come into a program in the U.S. just yet. It sounds like they’re a few years out. At this point no, I won’t be riding Husqvarna.

    How does he know how many years out they are .... unless he's been talking to them.

    My guess is that he has been talking to them. Probably a lot.

    They probably didn't think Reed would cost that much lol. All they need is a good pro contingency and we'll see plenty :)
