    It's still two stroke Tuesday right?
    Someone wanted to talk about two strokes on here, I know, there's only one or two, but we have to make them 2t'rs happy or they'll rise up against us like fat kids after cake. ;) jk. Oh and thanks to Keefer for letting me steal his picture. I am looking forward to playing with one of these. Even though surprisingly similar to my 300 xcw, I am told this handles much differently, much more stable. That's a good thing considering the orange version is very sloppy, imo.

    is that a 125/150? Pipe looks like a small bore. Great looking bike.

    Keefer actually didn't say, but I was referring to a 300 in my comments, sorry.

    TC125. Maybe in the future, we'll see a TE150 or more likely a TE200....

    Grab a closeout italian husky 125 ASAP. Best handling bike on the planet and robust motor you can punch out to 165 EZ. Best 125 platform going IMHO. Half the price of a new huskaberg.

    Will a 125 be able to drag my 6'1", 220# fat arse around?

    Absolutely. And even better when you get a 165 kit when the 125 wears out. You face will hurt from smiling as they are a hoot.

    No need for a PM. Just start a thread over there and we'll fill you in. I have an '09 WR165. As Kelly said... Most bang for the buck!

    Yeah red bike stuff doesn't happen here. This is for the Husabergs with ugly wheels :)

    Glad to see dirt rider got there hands on a new one. The comparison of this and a 125sx should go across the board so atleast we get an idea in the difference in feel.

    Norman, have you had any issues with the plastic subframe? I was reading about quite a few over at the orange forum. Not sure if you know anything more about it.

    My '12 TE250 still has an aluminum subframe. I know about 6 people personally that have '13-'14 Husabergs, with no subframe issues, other than some shock rubbing air box on the '13 bikes. All the bikes were raced hard. I did read that Nick Fahringer broke a subframe on his '14, while racing the Tennessee Knock Out Extreme Enduro last August. He didn't have a spare and borrowed one from another Husaberg rider to finish the event.

    not really a plastic its more of a composite, when it breaks it goes grainy that stuff is strong and very durable, im sure if fahringer broke one if it was aluminium it would of been bent well outta shape.
    im glad to see the box has 6 speeds wonder if they will keep this in the line up as the 5speed is frustraiting imo
