    A 150 sounds great BUT this weeken at the National in Utha , BMW/Husky of Utha showed up with a fleet of new 2010 Husky to test ride .There was one WR 300 i got to test ride now i am saying to my self why am i racing a 125
    because that 300 feels like a 125 but just faster .Why did i ever test the 300 because i now want one along with a 150.

    Boise Dave,

    It will probably be a couple of weeks. My suspension is at LTR and will be a week or so. I will really be ready for a couple of days off then.

    Ajax,

    I would wait and ride the new CR150 before you decide to buy a WR300 instead. I think you might be surprised how well it will run.

    The WR250/Wr300 seem like worlds different than the 125 to me. All good bikes but quite different IMHO.

    A-ha! So you're the one that's keeping my suspension on hold :mad:

    Whatever happened to "Ladies first?" I'll have to talk to Les about that :busted:

    Nope, it isn't me, mine isn't even showing up until tomorrow at LTR. I was just assuming the week or two turn around as that is what I have had in the past. :D But now I am very interested to compare notes on your results versus mine. The fact that I am just a tad(ok ton) larger than you is irrelevant.

    I just want both of them When you race the Nationals in any class
    over 30 up it is zero to open so you can race any bike you want
    If it is tight with hard ground the 125 or a 150 is the way to go
    BUT if the sand is deep or wet the 125 is lacking in power. For me a 125 is great even in the open desert or any steep hill i have found but as i stated if the ground is soft or wet the 125 just does not have the overall power against the open class .This past weeken the first loop was 53 miles of sand dunes and i never got out of second .Then loop 2 was hard ground in the trees and i had a great time .If i had both bikes some races would be on the 300 and some on the 125 .The Nationals are 10 races in 10 different areas .So if i had 2 different bikes it would be great

    Yep, I plan on forking over for a new 250 or 300 2t once they stuff it in the new frame. Then you have something for everything. My 360 is very good, but I want to get it a newer nephew to make it feel old. :lol:

    Jeez, Just when Cody is making the transition from his KTM 150 to the Husky TC 250! We do our first race with the TC 250 this weekend. I could be hit or miss. If it is "hit"... we'll be on a 4 stroke Husky from now on. If it is "miss"... I may be first in line at "Upstate Cycle" or "ToyTech" for the new Husky 150!!!

    Dude, I sang the praises of the WR 300 motor many months ago, when you were still claiming the CR125 could beat a Saturn V rocket to the Moon! ;););) :cheers:

    Wonder which will be here first, the bike or the 144 kit? Any one get a kit for their bike yet?
    Why the mid year release? I can see if it came out as a 2012 model, but a mid year 2011 ??
    Might as well wait till the 2012 model and get a full two years contingency. But then again i'll most likely be first in line for one.

    Try being a dealer in the middle of the parts issues, it SHOULD be a lot better then it is, but it's so messed up their newest parts guy left HSQ NA after only a few months :banghead:

    When i said "we" i meant through a dealer. Yes, some stuff is hard to come buy. They don't seem terribly interested in selling hardparts stuff here in the US. Some stuff is right there and other stuff is no where to be found. :excuseme:

    I got my OEM 144 kit 2 weeks ago here in Quebec, Canada, I don't know the exact reason, maybe they draw lucky numbers..

    I heard that Husky has hired Jimmy Hoffa and Amelia Earhart to be the traveling salespeople for all the hard parts items and they will gladly fill your order.......if you find them:excuseme:
