2013 200cc bike?

[Phantomtracer]

Is a 200 being imported for 2013?
Will it have electric start?

[Jakobi]

To which country?

[Nhuskys]

I just rode a '12 for the second time today. '13 200 is coming to US, but no electric start. It can be retro fittted to the 200 though.

[Jakobi]

What are your opinons on the 200 Nhuskys? Were you happy with its performance?

[Nhuskys]

Nice bike! Handles well and has good power. First ride was grass track and this was tight technical off camber. Lack of steering lock on the '12 was very apparent, compared to my Husky WR165 and Husaberg TE250. Seat will make a stand up rider out of anyone!

Don't worry about me.. I'm just the resident bogan skippy

Good news NHuskys! Have you spent any seat time on GG 250 or 300s to compare against them? I'm seriously considering putting a 2013 model in the shed next to my 2010 model.

I got limited time on '13 300... more power than I think I need, but off course my 300 riding friends say, just use what you need and you'll never run out at a bad time. I want to ride a 250 before I make a final decision.

I prefer the lower height and increased steering lock of the '13. Even a substantial price difference won't get me on a '12, in the tight, off camber trails I ride. If you ride more open terrain, this may not be important to you.

The steering lock is VERY easy to fix. Just put steering lock bolts with smaller heads in the triple clamps. That is all the factory did.
