http://www.mcnews.com/mcn/model_eval/2011MayHusTE449.pdf This may have been posted on the site before, but hey, here it is again! It was a new find for me. I'm loving my 2011 TE 449.
That was the most positive write up I've ever read on the TE Huskys. Seems like most owners really like them but the mags haven't been so positive about them. Glad to see a positive mag review; thanks for sharing.
I think most magazine testers come from a Moto-X background, and the TE 449/511s feel "hinky" to them. Not bad per-say, just not what they are used to. In my exhaustive research on this model , since I first saw one in person and fell hard . The best article I've read besides the above, said the bike would be perfect for a rider coming from a street-riding background. Because it handled more predictably than a regular dirt-bike.
