http://blogs.dirtrider.com/6281844/editorial/we-test-the-2009-husky-te-310and-more/index.html Well it's almost a test. BlipBlip!
Also an almost test of the TC450 and 510 at the same press intro. http://motocrossactionmag.com/ME2/d...0&tier=3&nid=54D2D4B4E13F4200BED292358B2EF573
Well I still have a couple old faithful's still, but they are up for sale, albeit not a fire sale. 07 and newer KTM's just don't do it for me and I like tinkering and maintaining on the Husky much much more. Now that there is a good local dealer I am much happier with the HSQ As for a TXC310, that is a NO from my sources. Not quite sure of the reasoning, but 09's have supposedly been ordered and production commenced for TXC 250, 450, 510 and TE310 along with the 2strokes. We should be seeing them early to mid October. National dealer meeting isn't until early October either and I would presume HuskyNA will want to present the new stuff to the dealer body first before shipping it off for retail sale but it typically takes 6 weeks after the production of a bike to make it into dealers hands, sometimes more if foul weather or customs gets into the mix.
Dirt Rider December 2008 - Chris Denison article "DR Riding impressions of the 2009 TE310" - Nice. Pages 88 - 93. Incredibly upbeat compared to past articles by a different author, it was a "riding impression" and not a full test but Chris gave it some good kudos. The only weird thing is there was no mention of the factory license plate. With or without plate the bike was liked well enough. The only possible negative is the "Is Husky healthy in the US?" question in the "what's not hot" category, which is a fair question, at least for the casual rider that knows little about Husqvarna. .
