    They completely dissed the TC449 which they also completely butchered the name of. All good. Good info...

    Pretty much as we expected, the new Husqvarna FC 450 is an outstanding motorcrosser; after all, it is essentially a KTM 450 SX-F, which placed second in our 2014 450 Motocross Shootout, just one spot behind the Kawasaki KX450F. But, like we said, it does have its own personality and it’s one that we would be perfectly happy living with. Thanks to KTM, you can be proud to have a Husqvarna in your garage once again.

    that last line kills me :D

    Sounds like KTM paid for another article to be written about how great they are.

    From my chair, its painfully obvious how much a dog&pony show these reviews really are. A person can get as good or better report from (amateur) riders on this site as compared to these ~professional sites...

    I'll just add it is also obvious that the ktm factory or whoever they are, makes numerous, numerous products and components for many many different bikes. I'm not going for that line about the way to make money is to use the same frame, SA, engine, ETC... between Huskies and ktms ...

    Remember the bmw inspired Husky? I read the first line of the article and could not read any more ... Time heals all wounds ... I'll be on my ITL Husky again today.

    Just watched local pro Justin Morgan rip up the specials at the Anza WestChec enduro on his well prepped ZipTy Racing FC450. Its a great looking and rippin' machine in the hands of a pro for sure.
