I want one! Not a fan of the graphics though. But that is easy enough to change.

Too complicated to work on, in my opinion.

Thats the made in Taiwan BMW motor with a red valve cover.

I checked out the new 250Fs. Very compact motor, light, tiny motor mounts got my attention! May be a great bike but I'd like to see how they hold up to a hard season first.

skid,

Yeah I read some of Kevin's comments on Cafe Husky and they are not very good. He sounds frustrated. Other guys love the bike, but all riders and conditions are different. It just gives me the impression of being very focused, that being weight/performance and not longevity. This is just my gut feeling as an engineer looking at the bike, no experience, so I could be very wrong. 250Fs in general are a big engineering challenge as weight, performane, reliability, and cost are tough to balance. The Yamaha, while not the performance king anymore, is a proven reliable 250F motor in a woods bike.

So that's their new 450/510 bike. Not for me thanks

I would like to try the all new 310 with the new motor and FI. This will be a real seller for Husky if they get it close to correct.
