    ...and as I see it(earlier references) ..some people just don't get it..probably never will ..Husqvarna PRIDE and LOYALTY are hard to shake :notworthy: ....and if you have owned/raced/trailed ridden the "Marque" for close to 40 years with very little quality issue problems,I wouldn't have to explain.... and if you add that 'major' competitor now owns it and the continuous bashing from those who ride it just puts the icing on the cake ....I'm still holding out,hopefully for a miracle of some sort to pop up! :thinking: ...have a good day

    ..don't ever ride in Florida..lots of pumkin heads ...and some of the horse shit stories that comes out of their mouths makes you wonder...gotta say,they never bothered me before but these turn of events really brings the poop slinging to a whole new level...no worries ,I try to stay away from them as much as possible..but they always come to me for repairs..and I could lay all kinds of 'SUGGESTIVE" criticisms about their rides but I don't..I try to play nice 'cause I know my Husky's are in the garage and ready to ride:love:

    It's the general English release. It is on the Husaberg USA site though. TE125 has not been available in USA or Canada.

    pierer "brings together what belongs together". well, actually this brings together what is considered his property (husqvarna) with what's known to be ktm property (husaberg). somehow, in the press releases, a part of the story seems to be missing...

    Seems like a lot of smoke and mirrors in all this. Talking out of both sides of his mouth. Now the press release in Sweden? WTF? Is he trying to piss of everyone at once with that?

    In his mind I guess bringing home the brands will make us HAPPY and show he wants to get'm back to their roots??? Since they won't be made there I can't understand how he thinks it will make us or anybody happy. I'm still just hoping after all the smoke clears we aren't left with blue and yellow pumpkins.

    apparently there's an interview in the latest issue of the german "motorrad" magazine, where pierer 's revealing the missing detail: husky will turn a 100% ktm daughter company.

    I agree with what rasputin said earlier husqvarna name will live on but the actual brand is dead. They are just putting the name over the husaberg decals.

    I have heard a lot of people say this but I disagree. Cagiva was wise enough to look at the picture and utilize what was better. They took the 4-stroke design and improved upon it, hell they made the TE 610E from it and continued to produce it through 2010. I like the cagiva based 2 strokes a lot, they are very reliable and make good power. The SP way will be to discard everything because he is too in love with his current designs to see any benefit from what husky was doing. BMW made the same mistake, they wanted to push their tech and had no interest in improving the old models. I like both the swedish and italian huskies but I do not really want a ktm or husaberg in husky dress. I would like to be wrong about this, but it doesn't look like it is going that way.

    It's the death of the x-lite 310. That alone is ridiculous.

    i'm sorry. I literally translated the german term "tochterfirma", the correct translation would be "sub company".
