I got a Husky Bucks contingency certificate last week..... About to send another one in... as long as Jenna keeps responding all is well with the world.
Here's a post on my local forum for a long time KTM rider/racer he's got a lot of connections so I'd assume this is accurate.
Wow...my red and white 1979 250 OR would have been surprised to hear that it was really blue, white, and yellow.
I was having a similar thought...polished tank sides, now that is an original Husky color...and no doubt there was something before that back in the early days before Husqvarna became an international powerhouse.
Color depends on where your timeline starts... Bikes in the 60's had red tanks. My 76 250WR had a red tank with chrome insert. Fenders were white. In the 70's and early 80's, Husky wasn't married to any particular color. Other than the trademark chrome insert, tank colors varied. In '83, the color scheme went mostly white, some blue and yellow. Once the metal tank became plastic in 84, it was all white, blue and yellow. After '87, Cagiva then moved the colors to only blue and yellow (ugly IMHO). In 07, it went back to red and white.
If they start making refrigerator bikes again, my next bike will be an orange KTM instead of a white one.
My wife thought every Honda was me at the last race so maybe blue/yellow isn't so bad. I'm thinking purple would be a real stand out lol
Chromed to expensive for KTM's bastard brand. I hope the polished wheels make the purple "pop" though lol
Flat dark earth tank and plastic with flat black rims, frame and trim would be cool, unless you walked away from your bike in the desert. "Where the $%^& did I put that thing?"
I could care less what color it is heck leave it primer or no paint at all Just make it a race bike that works As you can see I am not about the show just give me some go
