2014 Husqvarna line

Why not ?

All the enduro bikes get 6 speeds.... MXA reported on only the MX bikes, that have 5 speeds and everyone got a little confused, that all the bikes have 5 speeds.

As exciting as this acquisition is, my brain hurts... Good night

Could I really sell a kidney for enough money to get a typeone bike?

No, seriously. Stop laughing. I really need to know what kidney's worth.

You're not left out. It doesn't look like they're importing the FC350 to the U.S. market either.

Who do we blame?

I don't give a crap what color plastic you put on it to make it look better. It's a polished tird and that's it. Trust me I am sure there are ALOT of people who feel the same way I do. I ride a Husky BECAUSE it is NOT a bellybutton bike and because I feel it is superior to others...................... Not a new one after 2014...................................

For all those Husky folks who are upset, there's a Husaberg guy out there who is ready to give you a hug.

It sure seemed like Husqvarna was doing good things with its lightweight engines, and it would be a shame for all of that to be lost.

It's not realistic to expect completely unique models in these first few years. The costs of that would likely sink the whole ship. My suggestion is to be patient, tell KTM what you want from Husky, and to see what happens in the coming years. And don't sit on your wallets, unless you are sure you want Husky to be underfunded.

Hmmm think I will still hang on to my 634 SMR for now

Yes, I would too!

I totally understand, I feel the same way, really. I was P.O.'d about all this, and I'm still not crazy about it, but there's nothing I can do about it either. So, I either have to jump ship or eat the crow pie. So, I can go Beta, Sherco, or now, a typeone Husky.

Fixed it for you. Fletch we don't agree, but I respect your position!

I am speaking with my wallet and went and picked up a 110 year 2014 cr125. That bike is in addition to the 2012 cr165 I already own. Its the only bike I would keep out of the current husky lineup and might keep the x-lite bikes with some refinements. I think ktm/husqvarna is a better bike in all other categories and while I mourn the loss of the cr125 I look forward to the future of the brand.

I see they've went from the crappy x-lite starters to the crappy ktm 2t starters

Not sure if this has been posted

The variable combustion chamber inserts look interesting.
