Unhappy 2015 Husqvarna

Kinda ugly, in my opinion. Too bland.

Better than a pumpkin. I neither hate it or love it.

The curse of blandness ... nothing really to set it apart from the KTM (beyond the subframe as in 14)

I was kind of hoping they would give it it's own identity in 2015 but it looks like it's doomed to be a blue/white/yellow KTM. No thanks.

Its my understanding that it will have its own identity within 3 to 4 years and it will be coming from India. Malcolm, say it aint so.

Amen........I hate to see that. Besides how many different colors can you paint a "pumpkin"?

So which would you rather see?? a china build bmw owned husky that is a complete POS or a decent build india sourced ktm husky? The last gen husky from bmw were garbage. The swing arms twist and snap from just riding. Even the BMW stuff from china has issues. The indian company that builds the KTM puts out more motorcycles per year than any of the map companies,, I think even combined. Better quality too. I don't like it either but its better than china by far..

Neither. In my "perfect" world they would come from Sweden and ATK would be enjoying KTM sales levels.
