After reading that article I'm starting to get excited again. When they started selling MY14 WR's that were the same as last years (and the year before, the year before that, the year before.......) model I was kind of bummed. I have to admit, I went to the orange dealer to have a look. Now it sound like we are getting something new! KTM based or not, this is a good start and hopefully they'll be priced like Husqvarnas, not KTM's. Not sure about the US, but this is the price difference in Australia -
People want the bikes heavily involved in racing, it sucks but the prices almost have to go up. White sounds boring but I'm sure we will see graphics from every company now lol
I can live with the white if........ I can get my blue rims , Husky ergos, and Husky handling . A couple of guys on here have had white Huskys with blue grafix and they look sweet.
I think white/blue graphics? Honda has red Ktm has orange Yamaha has blue Kawasaki has green Suzuki has yellow So really, what is left? White so you not mistaken as a Honda, etc......
It could be different shades, TM looks nothing like Yamaha. The color thing is more of a joke to me but I hope it will stand out from the crowd. KTM are the masters of advertising so I'm sure it will be eye catching. Anodized wheels would be cool though
Norm, I'm calling dibs on your bike should you ever decide to part ways for some reason. Until 1993 the only beautiful things I obsessed over were girls. Then husky introduced their model lineup for that year and I was in love all over again.
I have a cherry 92 WXc350 with only 500 miles with plate,thats a great bike it starts first kick even after sitting for 6 months.We had 91 before that that was a great bike,very fast in their day.
So after reading about 60 of 90 pages... we still can't find a single spy photo of the future... but it looks like Husky dealer system will sell off last of Husky product as anniversary bikes... and sell some new models that are rebadged Bergs... and Berg dealers will sell off the rest of the Bergs... all in 2014. Then we will see the first Berg inspired Husqvarnas for 2015... with full attention to the Husky direction and branding for 2016. I buy slightly used typically at 2 years so my first new to me Husky purchase will be 2018. At least I'll have one before I am 60 !
I had a 1991 KTM300EXC....... it evolved quickly into a WHT/RED/BLK bike, I peeled all mint graphics off and a GUTS black/Gray with red seat was added. It was a solid bike that never faltered and to me looked a heck of alot better in wht/blk/red combo. My gear style at that time on the other hand........was hideous!! Hey that looks like Chilly's 300.
Since CA Green Sticker Program is over in 2016 also maybe Pierre will buy CA and solve all our problems too... will just have to change our state flag from this: to this:
Well he certainly couldn't screw it up any worse than your (our) politicians already are..... Sorry loaded comment meant in humor.....
..If that is what the new flag of Cali would be..plus the fact he (pierre)would run it,then for the sake of all Californians,get the hell out and I hope the entire state that is lying on a major fault line breaks loose and floats away from the rest of the U.S.
