    First Husky review I have read that was not qualified. The review found great favour across the board and determined it was a keeper and would be a great sales success for Husky. In the past Husky has always fared well but put in at #2 behind KTM time and again (always believed it was due to advertising spend personally). The article implied that the 09/10 310's were good bikes but the jury was out between a 300 cc and the KTM/Husa appraoch with 400/390 models. They stated this years 310 fully justified the smaller size. Well done Husky.

    I sold my 06 450 and have a run out 310 its only done 300kms so far and it a real beauty. The 2011 is 6 kgs lighter (14 pounds or one stone) which is massive. It has a bit more bottom end too. Its going to be a pearler.

    Unfortunately when it comes to the shootouts ADB will have there orange & blue blinkers on. I like in the article it states that the 250 & 300 WR was the pick of the bunch, but alas it didn't win the shootout.

    Next year is the Husky year for the smokers. The 300 is now right in terms of how it makes and puts down its power, it just needs an electric leg and a chassis update then KTM watch out. Be neat if was FI as well.
