After a kick-arse rompin' trail-ride Friday....me and a couple other's were chattin' it up back at the truck's. Natch, the conversation turns to bikes and 'the question' get's asked:
"So, yer a Husky man eh, how ya like it?"
Hmmm...well sir? I like it just fine!
Then they get to sniffin' the ol' TC 250, notice how bone-stock it is, how old it is, blah blah blah it's easy to service blah blah blah, etc.
Then they ask how much. Then they find out. Then they do this...

Then we start talking about the '09 line up, the NEW left-over WR 125 I just got for a little over 4k$- very little over 4k$ that's still at home waiting to get dirty, how one of these lads in on the fence about an '09 WR 300 at the same dealer I was just at the day before.
Then I told him he'd be crazy to turn it down.
Then he realised for the price of the 'other' brand he was looking at he can get the Husky, dial it in any way he want's it, bling it, get new gear, few extra tires and still have a bunch of money left over for burritos and beers and gas money for at least 6 mos.
Then he looked like this:

Wouldn't be surpised at all to see him next weekend on a shiny new WR 300.
I'm still amazed at what they practically give these bikes away for. Spent the day Saturday in the garage, getting the 125 ready, looking at the parts on this thing, still scratching my head saying "all this for 4g's?...niiiiice".
Nope- they aint like them other bikes. They aint all everywhere ya look. They do give oustanding service for the $ though and, do exactly the same thing them other one's do that cost almost twice as much.
That's what I call Value.
