I've been staring at the rather thick brochure and keep reading the inside back cover where it says 'do not reproduce' the brochure.... maybe I'll send an email asking if it is ok to scan it. It does contain information not on the website which now has the 2010 information features & pics. Check it out! http://www.husqvarna-motorcycles.com/_vti_g5_mod1a.aspx?IdMod=4&rpstry=167_ I'll post up pics of the bikes cause they said that was ok to do.
Not in the USA. If it says something on the Husqvarna website in that regard it might not be correct.
The pictures are now being processed slowly... One of the highlights of the trip was to meet Gerald from Upstate Cycles (http://www.upstatecycle.com/), he is the one on the right
Gerald is a TOP NOTCH guy and will bend over backwards to keep his customers happy! I've been called by Gerald on his personal cell phone many times on his days off to keep me informed about orders and parts etc. Gerald eats, sleeps, and breathes for his customers. His shop reminds me of the shop my Dad bought his first bike (Hodaka) from in 1968. No nonsense, down home dedicated service. It don't get any better than Gerald and Upstate IMHO.
SMR450... nice! This might be the more expensive RR model More full resolution photos here: http://cafehusky.smugmug.com/gallery/9079200_mciSW#604647052_y3fPd I'm not sure why but the transferring is not working great and some pics do not seem to make it to smugmug. All bikes had the same battery box arrangement as this year.

Brad Lackey was there! Here is a thread about the vintage race he put on - "Vintage Racing! Europeans vs the Americans for the first time ever!"
And I gave him a Cafe Husky sticker Brad - if you are reading this you might want to click on that link and check out your race
2010 txc250!!! This may be what you have been waiting for. Full resolution pics here: http://cafehusky.smugmug.com/gallery/9079200_mciSW/3/604862769_hi6qi#604862769_hi6qi Have fun designing a skid plate for this! Forest Service approved spark arrestor, and it is marked on the muffler (my 2006 te250 only says it in the owners manual). The most interesting part is the electric starter. Many people wanted to remove the ignition cover to confirm but it appears the teeth for the starter may be there instead of on the clutch pack.
Wow. Wish I could have been there in person. Thanks for the pics Dean. Any mention on smaller bikes for kids?

Interesting horn placement, it is possible some details may be different in production. These bikes did not seem 100% production bikes (as expected). Yep, that is a 40 Tooth rear sprocket... Stamped US Forest Service Approved spark arrestor
Swag.... All of these items have been available to order from Husqvarna dealers in the USA since late April. These are things available through your dealer that can be ordered from Italy. My understanding is these same products will be available at a lesser cost in the future but they will be the same products.
