Actual news on the KTM purchase of Husqvarna

Oh let me guess.... you hate KTMs... some of you Husky guys really gotta lighten up.

90% rider... 10% bike.

Been off this for awhile and see things haven't changed much. Kind of like stopping by the bar once every 6 monthes year after year and the same guys are there!!! Unless dead of course. To gus. Just a little more tact and you may have it. Jeff AKA Bolt 90% rider 10% bike. I beg to differ by a little but not much! And really, yes of course there are guys who dislike KTM's as there are guys who dislike Husqvarna's. They are rival bikes and passion can run amiss. But you could have a little more tact as well. As a educated consumer. In the next 2 years we shall see who sticks with Husqvarna and who does not. For whatever reason. Cagiva?? At this point I have no idea or speculation and am enjoying time with my 3 and half year old son. Watch what you say on this sight. I sent a private message to a contributor who was making statements pertaining to me directly that I thought was unprofessional and got booted off the sight.................................... Yes private message. We minus well all lighten up. Husqvarna did ALL of this to themselves................ Note on the 1991 KTM..Yes a very ugly bike and that is the year they were to file bankrupt and go under if my mind serves me correctly. Note to self.... It does go to show that with and inferior product and proper marketing, distribution, magazine ringer bikes and a checkbook you can completely turn around something that should be doomed. Kudos KTM...................Not going to lose sleep over it. There should always be low hour Italian Husky's for sale for as long as I'm around and in 5 or 10 years no one will remember anyway...............

Really? I hadn't heard about this. Anymore info would be appreciated. ....BTW, without the GeenSticker money, how will California fund all the non-OHV park system.....

Jeff I'll try to find something in writing... but I work directly with the SBNF and the Green Sticker Grants manager for this area. It's common knowledge among our group that the program sunsets in 2016. I just can't remember if it's Dec 31 or Jan 1.

I suspect the state will renew it if for no other reason they get to keep diverting our funds. It's the only budget in this state with a positive cash flow.

Without the orange people .... who would the opposition be? Think we should be (slightly) grateful to have them around. AND ... they´re a permanent proof of our superiority.

did you hate mexico?are you racist.

Heres a 2014 i saw in a dealer last week allready sold.

"?" ..is your name Al Sharpton?

were you asleep in 92? same but the fork guards.

back to sexy bikes and hope for the future and nothing about the state of the nation please folks

I hope we get a glimps of the MX variant at the MXDN this weekend. I know it's called the MXON now, but I'm stuck in the old frame of mind.

suposed to in the form of 2 stroke 300 or so they say..............

why you said that hahaha.

Hey ColoMoto I think this is calling your name....http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/mcy/4077916369.html

What belonged together, belongs together!
After 25 years of independence, 2013 marks the date in which Husaberg returns to Husqvarna and forms the "new" Husqvarna – excellent bikes with a unique story. A mixture of tradition, history, style and racing.

Or so Husaberg says on Facebook today. And apparently Husaberg didn't announce this to their customers until 6 hours ago. I have seen some upset customers over this whole merger, but nothing like I did today.

From some of the insults directed at Husqvarna, you could tell they were oblivious to the fact that they ride KTMs.
