From the Italy link. Looks like no new frame plastic for the WR line What i can see here is... 1. new graphics 2. new tank 3, front of fram (new geometry?) 4. 50mm forks 5. pipe looks MUCH bigger Same old motor, I was hoping for much more... Looks like a new tank for the 4 stroke TE's (see steering lock) which is odd, hope it is bigger. Looks like the ball ramp is not removable... 4 stroke observations 1. new muffler 2. rear fender (euro only?) 3. new engine guards 4. new disks 5. Obviously new looks / color 6. black rims
mang i am aroused,,,,,,nice photos,,,, both Meo E2 and Seb E3 did so well in GP France on the new 2 strokes,, man that 300 looks brilliant and a maintenance dream.
The tiddler got the new frame, hopefully the 250 and 300 follow in 2010. We should be thankful we are still seeing the 2 strokes.
And the new forks. Nice. realty wished they would have done that with the 250/300. When they do i will have one.
I don't think we (as in people in the U.S.) are going to see that pictured WR125. I hope I am wrong and they continue to bring them in.
If the WR125 does not come here.........I will take hostages and definiteley will not get caught because the prison jumpsuits are ORANGE!
That is hilarious Joe. Yeah I know it's(WR125) not coming as of now, but like ScottyR said we should start a petition, and get a group order going.
I'll sign a petition, but as bad as I want an '09 WR125..... this isn't going to be the year for me to buy one. Norman
I was going to give Norm and Joe crap for liking kids bikes but the more I think about a 125 in that frame, the handling will be insane Fun factor in the stupid zone.
AjaxAuto over on TT is winning AMA D-37 desert events on his WR 125. That really impressed me, considering last year he was competing on an 07 TE 510 in those same events. At 6'3", I'm considering one just for the fun factor alone.
ajax rides a CR125 not a WR125. Minor point, but they are different. Both are great bikes, Husky 125's rock! Norman
I knew the 300 was going to be a throw-back. Wouldn't have made since if it were totally new from a mfg. standpoint.
Put an electric start on it...have it weigh a "REAL" 220 pounds...and stuff a freshly revamped motor in the new frame and I will be all over it! David
I think the problem with the 250/300 not getting in the new frame is the right side drive. The 125 is a left side drive like the 4T's. Something's got to give, so maybe there will be a new motor in the new frame for 2010.
man props to you 125 riders,,,,,for me they are practically unridable,,,I am too big and slow to react,,, the hardest 125 i ever rode was a pro set up TM,,, my stepson has an RM with a steahly 10 it is at least reasonable. The HVA looks brilliant,,,they must have had a bunch of the older chassis laying around,,,should done all the 2s in the new chassis.
I would have agreed with you all day long until i rode a Husky 125.As i have posted many times before the last time i rode or owned a 2 stroke it was 1975 yes 1975 .Then i got a hand made C&J Honda 500 then ATK 560 and ATK 604 .Then the Yamaha 400,426 450 .Then a Husky 510 but then 8 months ago i rode my sons CR 125 and i will never go back.I won my first expert class race on the 125 and have won some open class races also on the 125.Riding the bike anywhere on just about any course from enduros to open desert it works great .I feel like i am cheating so if you get a chance try one brfore you go 4 stroke again
