Husaberg = Husqvarna

[accadacca]

What belonged together, belongs together!
After 25 years of independence, 2013 marks the date in which Husaberg returns to Husqvarna and forms the "new" Husqvarna

[Garbanzo]

Let's hope they build something extraordinary. I think it's a huge mistake. At least in the U.S.

What? no way bro the best of both worlds the way I see it.
HUSKIES were the shit bang in the day but then they got problems. KTM will fix this licked de split trust me.:lol8:

[Garbanzo]

The "best of both worlds" statement is just marketing bullshit. Between.ownerships from Cagiva, MV Augusta, BMW, and KTM, it will only be what the new owner decides. Husky was the hangover of the BMW bike that failed. It's a nice bike, but failed to reach any real success. Husaberg was cutting edge design since owned by KTM and they were staying to gain traction in the US, but the name was still elusive to Americans. Saying that Husky will sell more because of its name is yet to be seen. I've seen one Husky.on the trail in Utah.
I hope I'm wrong. I hope they make the best. It will be interesting to see where they market it in relation to the KTM lineup.

Husqvarna has a stronger brand. Yep it sucks, but that's business. KTM decided that they didn't want to manage 3 brands.

Check out the pics of the 2014 TE 300. Hmmm...maybe peeps will just need a new graphics kit. :haha:

I like the Akra pipe. I wonder if that will be stock. Makes me wonder if they will make this a premium bike above the KTM. Ok, maybe I'm a little excited to see. I just hate to see the Husa name euthanized.

I'm sure they'll keep the best sellers from both brands. The two strokes were a highlight for Husaberg and well known with Graham Jarvis and others racing them. The Husky 2 smokers were not great. Husqvarna has some nice 4 strokes with a following.

My guess is they keep the Husa 2 strokes and Husky 4's.

[Garbanzo]

Let's hope they don't look like the Husky four strokes. By the looks of the graphics, it looks like they will go with the older blue and yellow both bikes have shared. I like what I see so far.
This is the one I want.:Dhttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/09/30/2yza4a3u.jpg

I love the idea of buying a new bike, but...... New plastics, reworked suspension, New rims, New top end and other misc items for less than 3k. And, still the best bike on the planet. I won't be riding any new bike for some time. ;)

I am confused as to how the American made atk bike relates to the husaberg bikes. I remember when atk was in Centerville, I have never seen one on the trail.

[accadacca]

Yeah that's an ATK bro. My Dad had an ATK 605. It was a cool bike and still has a cult following. My cousin worked for them in Centerville and raced their 2 smoker.

VERY FAST ATK IT WAS AND IS IF YOU CAN FIND PARTS.
So what is blue and what is red and what rocks nowdays? FI 500 xcw:lol8:

aaaahhh well winter is on it's way so I'll see you soon. Thanksgiving???????????????????:lol8:

No shit Watch out for Warner Valley It has changed so much with the rains that you'll see it like the first time.
The hard stuff just got a lot harder like the FALLS TRAIL hint hint. Still real doable but you may want to bring a sat phone just in case.
And some rope gear lmao just because someone will go over sooner or later. UG

I have been in love with Husqvarna since the mid 80's. I have an 02, 570 in my stable right now. And I had to order parts from Great Britain for it earlier today :mrgreen:.

I was looking at the Husky's last year at the Honda dealer in Salt lake on state street. I thought that they were bizarre with the gas cap filler in the rear fender.

A KTM with new colors and the background to support what should be an awesome trail / desert bike.
I'm sorry you boys with blue might be upset and all I can say is hold onto your bikes and put them in the barn LMAO they will be worth a ton off bucks one day.:)

The thing that scares me most is WE have seen this all before with Honda and th is might put a bit of drain on value one day but? KTM's ****ing rock bros.:bootyshake:

This is marketing 102 and it is set up for the two stroke Euro cats and we may never se a Husky here for 4 maybe 5 years.

I'd never buy a husky before so with the KTM 300 2-ts why bother?

Hay even KTM's need to be rebuilt. I've put 179.7 hrs on mine this first year and the gears are talking to me.
PS I guess these four strokes should not be speed shifted all the time.

[Garbanzo]

I'm going to keep the 570 updated for a while. I wish it were true about their gaining value, but no dirt bike gains value. Even in pristine shape. Unless it's several decades old. The Husky is an awesome machine, but updating every 3 years is way too expensive for my blood!

I've seen this bullshit that because they are made off the same line as the KTM that the only thing that has changed is colors and crap like this.
2 bikes with enough changes in suspension/subframes/tanks/ well you get the idea. Nothing about them is the same other than the motor. Hell I'm not even sure the gears in the box are the same.....

THEY ARE NOT THE SAME

By the way Husa has a 2014 out and about.....

[Mtnseeker1]

I will tell you one thing and that is this motor is a total badass. I have the same one in my 2012 500 XC-W and my mechanic told me at 207 hrs not to worry as they will give 500-600hrs. before you need to worry about the top end. He says just keep the dirt out. This is after I checked my own valves for the first 207 hrs.
This bitch rocks and rocks hard.
Just ask Garbo. Hee he or Mike.


But she looks gay as all hell with the 4.00x18 trials tire laced up for Moab.:2thumbs:

[Mtnseeker1]

I will to you one thing.
I just about picked up a six days exc 2012 and Garbo says to me dude get the xc-w You will be so much happier.
So I did so I am.
