    Oooo, I forgot about the purple.

    **** I think we should officially close this thread.....we are so far off topic that we couldnt find our way back with GPS.
    When SP makes an announcement about the future we need to start a new topic for it.

    Tell you what, when something is officially announced and posted in this thread, click on the housekeeping button and we will split the newer posts with actual information into a new thread.

    In the mean time feel free to keep posting. Nothing wrong with chit chatting about the bikes.

    And the biggest of them all had the silver tank.

    Gosh I miss the good ol days running them ol Huskys.

    How many times did you finish motos with schrapnel cuts on your face between your Jofa mouthguard and goggles.

    I had that 430 but was the CR with WP upside down forks.

    I haven't taken any and I've had it for 6+ years.:confused: It is all there and original. Not real pretty but in great shape. I should snap a couple, you're right.

    I would tend to disagree that SP is going to eliminate Husaberg. My dealer sells every single one he gets in. They are more exclusive than KTM's and cater more to older folks with more money to spend (like me except without the money).
    As for the PDS, the only company that got it right was the one in my Avatar. Total Cadillac. I dislike the PDS on my Husaberg SM 570 on the street as much as I did on any of my off road KTM's. I always hated feeling like I needed to adjust my suspension 3 times per lap during a HS. I am happy to have a Husky with linkage for offroad. They better keep the linkage.
