Ah, you were not too far from me! I see you got it at Moore and Sons. I've never been there, but I'll probably go there to look at(and most likely buy) the TR650. How was your experience there? It's so hard to resist going over there, especially as I'm only about 30mins away! But, finances win for now.......
The experince at moore and sons was drama free. It is a family shop and very small. John is the friendly owner, his son runs the counter, and John's wife does the books and did my dmv paperwork. I paid msrp, which was fair considering local supply and the thin profit margin on the machines. The bike was prepped and ready. I got a box with the manual and the usb dongle. John and his mechanic helped me with the tie downs for transporting the bike on my truck ramp. All went well.
Glad to hear it. MSRP is very fair, I thought for sure such a small shop would be a little bit over list. Thank you for sharing!
Bought my TR650 at Eurosport, Asheville, NC, on Saturday, October 27. Paid MSRP, but I was happy with what they allowed for my trade. Eurosport is a good shop. I bought the Terra to ride in the mountains, for fun. As I drove home to Johnson City, TN, superstorm Sandy's started rolling in. Nasty weather grounded me til this weekend when I managed to get in 150 miles in the mountains. 64 mpg. This is my first big thumper. I'd describe riding this bike as pure joy. I love it. Zero issues so far with the bike, it seems perfect for my 59 year-old style. The manual on the flashdrive is disappointing. The Terra's power is surprising, satisfying and manageable. The handling in the mountain twisties inspires confidence and has me grinning. I've really enjoyed my VStrom as a very good bike for the money, but I wanted something with a bigger fun factor, and the TR650 is definitely it.
If anyone interested, Toytech in Grantville PA just got in a Strada that is not spoken for and they are also receiving a Terra in a few days that is also available. Great bunch of guys as far as the "right " coast goes....
I do not have a Facebook account nor do I want one....ever! Thanks anyways mario33. I will just enjoy the pic you did post.
Thank you! That is truly exciting to me. My cousin just got back from Italy and one of the things that really struck her was how proud the Italians are of their work and who they are.
Hey, I live in Piney Flats and test road a Terra at the Asheville shop on Saturday. I liked it enough to find this forum and join to learm more about the bike. Just might pull the trigger on one soon.
First post and first Husky! Bought a Terra at BMW Motorcycles of Las Vegas on Wednesday 5 Dec 12. It's the second one sold in Vegas! All the guys at this shop are awesome! Third bike I have bought there and have been happy everytime. Have a GSA for long distance but felt it was too heavy and expensive for off road. I will use the Terra for exploring 2 track trails in Nevada, So Cal and Utah. I have plated 3 off road bikes in the past and they were killer off roaders, however they sucked on the street. With those bikes I used to haul ass off road and took a lot of risks. Now I want to slow down and enjoy the scenery and I feel that the Terra will let me do that. Plus, I can ride it on the street and not get beat up. I have only 100 miles on it and love it so far! First thing I noticed was the bars are too low and the bend doesn't want you to stand up. Easy fix, different bars. Of course off road protection is the next thing. Skid plate, radiator guard and handguards are a must have before I take it off road. I've bought AltRider farkles for my GSA and the fit and finish of their stuff is awesome. They are in development of a skid plate and radiator guard so I will get them when they are available. Tires are another thing. I want a 50/50 tire so I will try some TKC80's and see how that works out. That's really it for right now. I will post some pics later and post when I start tricking it out.
Welcome Robert, You got a great bike. Motosportz has the handlebar risers to accommodate fat bars which several of us have posted pics of and a killer skid plate. He is on here of course and has a thread for the items avail. Was just out your way about 2 weeks ago. I was "trapped" in town but sooo wanted to get out and up into the hills. NExt time perhaps. Welcome and congrats on the Terra.
Hi all, My first post and first Husky also. Bought my Terra at Moore and Sons in Santa Cruz, CA. MSRP without a big rip-off setup fee. Mine was second-shipment so the lean/stall was already fixed. Liking it so far - I wanted a mid-sized bike that was no more than about 400 lbs wet - so it was between the Terra and a used SV650 std. The unpaved-road capability is what drew me to pay the extra bucks for a new bike - much more versatile, but still hiway capable. I'm especially liking the power - I'm going to keep the stock rear tire and put a more agressive DOT off-road tire on the front, cycra hand guards - modify the kick-stand for stronger lock-down position, and see what's out there for engine protection.

Hello fellow Husqvarnians, First post here. I purchased my Terra December 22nd from MotoCity in Avondale Arizona. 2 months ago I purchased a 2012 TE310 from there, after laying down a mere 33 miles on it I decided to go to more of a street than dirt bike dual sport, posted it up for sale and acutally received a call about it on my way in to trade it in on the Terra, everyting worked out, buyer met me at the shop, he paid me, I paid the dealer for my new Terra. I'll be using it for commuting occasionally and forest road travels. I have only one ride so far, I am experiencing the off idle stall and will re visit the shop once time allows. I do have a question that the experts here can answer for me, what does the "mode" button do? The manual says nothing about it. I'm enjoying reading the posts on this forum and looking forward to many more. View attachment 21616
Hey, i was the first guy ! I live by sfo, but my bike is being transported up to the cabin near twain harte /yosemite / sonora. The forest trails closed dec 15, but i will bomb around the hood in the cold. Santa just brought the accessory plug attachment for the heated jacket, and maybe the dealer will have the heated grips soon. I will try to test the electrical system, i guess.
