    Is the price competitive with a comparable KTM? This the the Big Macs to Whoppers comparison. I cant imagine that Husky is going to price themselves out of the market and most places a KTM is the most comparable brand. HondaSuzyKawiYamas are cheaper than Husky's in the US too, but they are marketed a bit differently.

    Just for reference a 2010 WR125 costs the equivalent of AUS $8864 here in the U.K. (that's US $7376).

    Coffee makes an excellent point about bringing an Aussie dealer or two into Cafe Husky btw.

    I see Australian dealers as part of the problem. if they need to be encouraged to use the internet, then why bother.

    Topari is correct, there isn't much awareness of Husky dealers or bike shops that support husqvarna's and this has to be blamed at the feet of Paul Feeney group who are the distributors of Husqvarna.

    The reality is, KTM are a large force in Australia due to that company's stability and growth whilst Husqvarna has changed hands more than shares at the stock market. If the marriage of BMW and Husqvarna last, and Australian dealers don't try and market this brand as some boutique dirtbike like a VOR, then Husqvarna dirtbikes will grow.
    But, so long as Chad Reed rides a Jap bikes and majority of Australian Enduro champs are on KTM's, it will be slow until it receives greater exposure in our dirt mags.
