    That is madness... Go get on it!

    I rode my brand new 310 away from the dealer and got it all muddy before it even saw my trailer :)

    I really want to love 2 strokes but I just can't. Even sat on the beta 300 today :). I get nervous because I'm not mechanically inclined and let's face it, could I afford to fix a whole motor if I messed it up? It'd take awhile. Even sitting on the 300 I felt like I was cheating. I've ridden all the 4 stroke Husky and have put quite a bit of time on them. The 449 is the dream bike. I realized today that I'd rather have a broke 449 then to settle and get something else.

    I think it's awesome you got a new toy. Like I said, I can't wait to hear the differences. If you all don't calm down though, I may not get the chance to read about it lol. Good luck to you and don't worry, the Husky bodywork will be out soon ;)

    12:41 shows the Husaberg 300 being helped and then falling over under tow and that bike is no joke. That race is more about rider than machine.

    Take care and enjoy. Those are great bikes and one of the best selections for an off road 2 stroke. :thumbsup:

    This is a reason to love 2-strokes, not 4-strokes.

    If you pop a motor on a 4-stroke, you might have to replace a piston, crank, rod, cams, timing chain, valves, head... the list goes on. 2-strokes don't have half of those parts. They are super robust and super easy to work on and fix.

    This thread is lame (and so are KTM-bashing posts that come up on here sometimes). Anyone who says that a 511 OR a KTM300 OR a WR125 OR a 310 OR a WR300 is a "bad bike," or is significantly worse or better than one of the aforementioned, is an idiot. They are all really, really good bikes. Each has pros and cons. Let's just ride and stop blowing smoke out our butts, eh?

    Also, it seems really silly to talk about how your new bike is "light years ahead" if you haven't ridden it yet...

    Yes this thread was intended to be very silly :) was supose to be my going away party ! My new bike is light years ahead in the cost of maintenance area and ease of maintenance / hand washing / after market goodies / wieght / finding dealers a short drive away / low low first and second gears/ ground clearance/ better fly wheel mass for off road/ Yes I am a idiot ! Ha haa ! Not going to win this one ! No compulsive buying here just needed a better tool for my riding pleasure . If I road on the street more than a dual sports the ticket, 511 is great except the gearbox. Husky 2t looks good but not for me because I am too picky and it don't cross over between terrain as good as the xc-w. Not hating or judging people on how they comment hear.

    I am getting close to riding it just need a couple more bling blings to make me feel good about smashing down on rocks , I want to break it in correctly ! Have about 4 more things to bolt on and need to make a couple things and am going riding with a friend on a Beta

    It now has been about 4 days since this post.
    It sure is getting old, and next time my gut tells me to close a thread like it did with this thread I will.

    Hope you enjoy that bike. It is now about 6am on a Saturday - *perfect* time to enjoy that bike in southern California.
