    Beta and Gas Gas are on my 2015 watch list. Was hoping for something interesting from Husky, but I just can't get interested in a white KTM. Gas Gas really lost some weight in 2014 and the 2015s are supposed to have vastly improved estart.

    We were told "2014 bikes will be KTM based , but expect to see a difference in 2015 " !

    I said at the time we are stuck with "White KTMs" and so it seems .
    I have already seen one post saying "2016 we will see a difference" BS !!!

    Husky is dead as far as I am concerned, I didn't want a KTM years ago and I don't want one now !

    I have bought a Sherco 300 4st, and love it ! Similar power to my Husky 310s but without all the little problems.
    Easier to ride , handles better , overall could not be happier !
    RIP Husqvarna , you served me well, but time to move on !

    You dont always need to buy a 10,000$ dirt bike guys. Used is good as new to me. I bought a new 511 because it was the last of a breed. That said, if I had not I would definitely pickup a used 449/511 because I like to tinker. But a real bike? Shooot a 06-07 husky 450-510. One of the best street legal bikes ever made. RIPS, lightweight, fun fun fun fun, reliable (to a point) and did I mention they rip? Yep. Miss my old 450 but my 511 is much better after a few k of tinkering :)

    Yep prettier KTM's. Not saying they aren't great bikes but I too am looking at the Sherco's.

    I was only living in America the first ~50 yrs of my life ... Never, ever saw a single one of these off-breed bikes models whose names are tossed around here daily... So, if you think I would ever consider buying and riding a machine I have never ever saw, as often as I ride here, in this land I live in now ... Well, best you go back to Hollywood and try again...

    Does that mean I'm gonna buy these new ktms? Nope, does not mean that either. I did see the black birdy sppy plane once sitting on the ground and it was small!

    DISCLAIMER: I am not saying these other bikes are not good machines on some level ...Didn't Knight just win a national level race on one of these smaller brands? That's all the proof I need to verify a bike ... Then you have to add the few other tangibles needed to have the overall sales model complete.

    I just hope they don't add any more hp to the 501, already has enough hp to capsize England.
