It will be interesting seeing what what they field bike wise for the MXGP and MX2 class. I have a feeling that Ice1 racing will have a change in their line up with Xaiver Boog based on an interview with MXGP.TV.
I dont know about for 2014 , but sure there are not any in the last batch of bikes to show up or should i say be showing up soon.
I'm really hoping in a few years time husky once again finds it's own "thing" and is somewhat individuale. If not I don't see how it is a husky just like there is no Berg left in the Bergs which is sad to me. Might be great bikes but just because you put a sticker on a KTM/Berg does not make it something new and cool IMHO. Maybe they will allow them to do cool stuff and be individual like Berg got to do with the 70 degree motor or something. Will be interesting to see this all unfold.
They will be different in coming years, as early as 2015. KTM owns White Power suspension which is installed on current KTM and Bergs, but the WP suspension on the berg/husky's is a lot better than what you see currently on the KTMs. Engineering technology will be shared between the two companies, which is a good thing. ZipTy made many technological advancements with the Husqvarnas, many of which we never received any credit for. We are hopeful to not only be given the chance to work with the new Husqvarna but that the current administration defrays from old BMW business practices.
Got this in my Google+ feed: https://plus.google.com/u/0/114555150907715053683/posts/Xi5o5HLXV7N You'll see I tried to be polite and ask if these were MY 2013.5. Here's Husky's page with the "110th Anniversary" editions http://www.husqvarna-motorcycles.com/en/motorcycles Definitely looks like a case of trying to get rid of inventory created under the "old-guard" with BNG, particularly with the 650s still in the mix.
Thanks for the post ... -- It is confusing info ...I mean, who do we thank here for these bikes? The former or the latter owners?
I feel the same way. More like a half-ass tribute to 1980s splatter paint. They didn't even bother to incorporate anything into the graphic about the anniversary. It is what it is...a weak way to market clearance inventory.
I hope the 110th Anniversary Husky's don't get the same death sentence the 25th Anniversary Husaberg's are getting. Most of us want to see the current Husky models live on and evolve. Sadly it seems there are some that are fine with buying a different color then orange KTM that says Husaberg or Husqvarna on it.
Husaberg models live on with the Husky name, so they don't really die. Husky models on the other hand.... are going to be really dead. It's happened before to Husky bikes with Cagiva and Husaberg sprung forth. Now we watch it again with KTM and Husaberg is absorbed back into what it came from.
