Considering moving from orange to red, please help

Huskies have not been marketed \ advertised \ raced in the usa to any degree that will put them on the map ... Even today, you can still read where someone said "I did not know Husqvarna still made motorcycles" ... Call it what ever you want, maybe sales are so low that the $ needed to advertise \ race the bike is not there ... maybe it is management .... I saw where one ~high up husky paid guy said the best way to market the bike was through word of mouth .... That is true to some extent but it has not worked to push sales up since the movie 'On any Sunday was released' and if this is their attitude, it might be part of the problem ....

ktm has got a big following but for its' price, I'm not sure it is the average joe crowd ...

I don't know how this thread got hijacked into a whine fest, but back to the original.

I would not be afraid to go Husky. They are good bikes, and have good build quality. I would stay far away from any four stroke though, no matter what brand name is on it. Jersey is too technical for a heavy pig with valves and cams. Of course, that's only my take on it.

If you like your KTM 300, a Husky will be slightly different, but not enough to make a difficult transition. The biggest thing will be getting the jetting dialed and breaking in the suspension. The kickstarter is a little different than the KTM and may take a little getting used to, but that's a minor glitch.

I wouldn't even be afraid to go with a 250 2t. A little less tiring to ride, and less hassle to jet in my opinion. The KTM is a fanatastic bike, if it's low hour, I'd keep it. If you're ready for a new one, Husky is a fun alternative, especially for a big guy. I don't think you'll be giving up anything.

Thanks homes and B da man ... lol ... Why all the whinnng on Husky 4-strokes hanging in jersey? ... lol

I's emphasize on opinion only...

Bottom line, get what you want, you'll always regret if you don't.
