I think we are just hoping along with the awesome looks it will be a little different than the berg/KTM.
Six months... we want a whole new bike design through production... I wanna bang a super model tomorrow too. But I am realistic enough to know thats not gonna happen either.
Curvature of the camera lense. You Husky guys don't get out much do you ? Sorry... I'll go away for awhile. Glad to see KTM made some improvments to the product line in only a few months... even if it wasn't the miracle some expected. The next couple years will be great for Husqvarna and riders. I am looking forward to buying my first gen Kusky from one of you, lightly used in about 12 to 18 months. Preferably an FE350
Really! I didn't think Husky would be anything other than a Berg/KTM at this time like most others on this site. I said we were hoping not expecting. Maybe in a few years..
My dirt club brethren are pretty positive about the new "H" bike. I'd wish for the 449 front fender, the 310 rear fender, and red and green in place of the blue and yellow. Just me. (BTW, my brother is a model/actor/stuntman - most of the hot models end up with extremely ordinary looking geeks - so me and Jeff actually stand a pretty good chance)
The bikes look excellent. I am so very curious as to future still. Ktm seems to be taking a very offroad approach to the huskies. I wonder if they are going to add a more road oriented bike in the future.
Me too, those looks i some how nice, (especially that of 2-stroke in those pics at above).... But when i look my best looking Husky ever, then reality hit. Thats waaaaaay better than that new one. But now wait to see how that street models are comming to look
i really don't see what all the fuss is about, it is not a Husky it's a KTM with some pretty pyjamas on. With only 6 months after buying or being given Husqvarna, did anyone really expect anything different? how could they bring out an all new motorcycle in such a short time, it's an impossibility. I hope there is some big differences between the two in coming years, but i won't hold my breath. Husqvarna will pick up where Husaberg left off and thats being KTM's R&D department. Husqvarna is dead, long live Husaberg.

For what it´s worth (not a lot). Just back from my local Berlin Husky dealer (the 630SM´s got a duff con rod bearing). He´s just back from a briefing at Zupin. Says there´s a new 700cc sumo in the works, but it won´t be with us for at least a year.
