RUMOR CONTROL CLOWN BIKE OPTION?? 300 extra????

OK so it's not April yet but what is this with the clown bike option?????? So you can buy a KTM? Or do I mean Husaberg or Husky and for $300 extra you get a composite subframe and if you buy a KTM you get Husqvarna plastic kit??? These bikes have no stamping on the engine in order to save money and keep component costs down. And for and additional $500 you get a set of blue wheels and Husaberg plastic thus completing the CLOWN bike option and you simply can own 3 different bikes to impress your friends. I mean think of it??? If your riding with your KTM buddy's simply throw on your alloy subframe and orange plastic and it's all good! If your riding with your Husky buddy's just throw on your composite subframe and retro Swedish Husqvarna plastic! And if you want to make your hillbilly buddy's scratch there head throw on your blue wheels and Husaberg plastic! Or take it to the next level throw your BLUE wheels on and your Husky plastic and you truly have a custom showstopper!! How brilliant 3 bikes that handle the same while your blindfolded but you can adjust the looks in minutes!! Anyone here of this? It's all good I think I'll just be a clown and ride my Italian Husky till I can't get parts any more and then some!

Our Italian Huskys are really Cagivas, not Huskys Fletch. I'm putting my blue Husaberg wheels on my Austrian Husky TE250.... because I want to!

I think it's all funny! And must admit it is brilliant but does seem strange that 3 bikes that are different could handle the same and be so similar......Hey the clown bike option really does make sense !!!

Hey Norm I really do love the blue wheels and I mean it!!! And yes they certainly are Cagiva's !!I guess I'm still being punished!!!I wonder why????

No one on earth would punish us.... It's all fun and games in dirt bike land!

Kind of funny on the Beta thing and what a coincidence that Cody Web was riding one.................................. I would like to try out a Beta 250 for fun. And I wish Gas Gas would get the lead out cause I do like them to. But NOTHING handles like my Husky!!

So that´s what it´s all come down to .... we´ve got "Clown Bikes"! (Many thanks, Herr Pierer)

Does this sound about right Husky Fans (Fans is short for Fanatics!!) HIZ-Story. From the Italian years

Cagiva Italia=the 2T line up engines with older style CrMo chassis 250/260/300 series and older than 08 125s (circa 88- to present)- 100% Italian in Varese house

Cagiva-Husqvarna Italia= 2T motor line up with the CrMo semi perimeter chassis 125/144 (08 to present)-100% Italian in Varese house

Husqvarna-Cagiva= the 4T single cammer big blocks 400/570/610 etc evolved from the original Swede Husky 4T design. early 80s to late 2000s)- in the end a very high % of Italian evolution in the motor the chassis remained tied high % to the Swede single backbone design.

Cagiva-Husqvarna Italia=250/310 smaller block and 400/450/510 bigger block TC/TE/TXC series twin cammers (03-10 circa)-100% Italian in house

Cagiva-Husqvarna Italia= 250/310 TC/TE/TXC "XLite" series (2010-2013 circa)-100% Italian in Varese house (with some outside engineering assistance)

All these lines are dead since the Pierer but out. XLites my have been sold to India and or China by alot of internet fotos and chatter, unless they just reverse engineered them.

Also never to be mentioned by the new owners how many world Championships were won under the Italian Varese banner. In MX, Enduro and Super Moto (as well as many Nats and others)

You will like the Sherco- I Garan dang tee it!!
Like I said the 300i is like a further evolved edition of the X-Lite design, and so must be the same with the 250/300, a further evolved design of where the Husky 250/300 should have gone, more 125/144 new tech layout. Very neutral and easy to ride, well planted and low fatigue riding chassis. Think French enduro riders= the way the Sherco works and feels.

Ok so left off the Kymco bikes.........to me they are 100% BMW G450Xs with a Varese designed chassis, that was forced upon them to build. I know we have mega fans here and the bike is not a bad bike, Its just not Italian at all chassis excepted but by BMW engineering edict.
IMO (I aint being Humble this time)
They would have continued to go down the more standard twin cam route in a CrMo 125/144/250310 XLite type chassis while evolving the X-Lite small blocks and probably would have gone toa more X-Lite motor style scaled up bigger block 450+ size also wrapped in a CrMo semi perimter chassis of their own design. 125/144 evolved in little steps and the 250/300 series in a new tech chassis or a completley new series of engines in the new tech chassis. CMon Italian Industrialists Cagiva reborn or Aspes or Ancilotti to Z one of many of the older Italian off road marques

I'm sure they are effective and fun-to-ride bikes regardless of what "clown suit" you choose....
