They look good, and they will sell. People here dropped the premiums for the Bergs without a second thought. It'll be more interesting to see if all the die hard husky loving, kato haters will jump ship now the logos changed. Could be a good time for Sherco, Beta and Gas Gas.

I read somewhere Jarvis was doing the ROA on a Husky? Could be just a rumor though?

You mean like Toyota/Lexus, Nissan/Infiniti, Honda/Acura strategy?

Not that concerned with what it looks like - how does it work and what's the company behind it. If you liked the way the KTMs were set up - and Pit Beier said they had all of the best ideas already - then this should work out fine.

If you didn't like the way KTM did business when they were orange then you won't like how they do business when they're blue and white. If it didn't matter, just mix your gas and get on with it.

Yep the organizers have said he is doing it on the husky-berg ... after Lettie's track record he better carry some tools!

Wonder what the pumpkin brigade are going to say about the linkage?

Default New Husqvarna 300 Two Stroke Factory Bike

The most important read is the new 300cc two stroke motocross championship. Looks like two strokes are coming back on track.

About the hushy?!? It is again only a blur KTM like husaberg was

according to the twisted engineering (CF handlebars) thread doesn't that mean that the bike will be non-fim compliant?

If the clutch drags, the needle is way off, it has a engine and swing arm that adds 20 pounds to the old Husaberg chassis, and it comes out 3 months after the competition's bikes hit the market, it may have an audience here!
