125-200cc Future Parts Availability?

This is very true !

I bought a bunch of 14 Huskys when they were being blown out. I was selling WR250s for $5395 and 300s for $5595 BRAND NEW.

I know exactly what they were selling for. I was looking at them at the time.

Some yes, but I look at everything, and see people asking less money for similar age/condition YZ 125 and 250's. I think the Husky is a superior bike - by a lot, but it's an orphan with little to no support. To me that should affect the price of what was a blowout priced bike in the first place.

I agree that those prices are way too high. I have an 09 WR250 that because of how well it's maintained and mods it's probably a better bike than those and I'd take $3500 without a second thought.... and it's my favorite bike of the 4 that I own.

I scored this 14 cr125 this week for $2300

I got sum spare plastics if u need any hillbilły!

The cool thing is the plastic also fits my11te250

Future parts availability

you mean Italy??

Must be, they have had the ktm label for quite a while.

I noticed the 'stk' underneath made in Italy...

Dirt Rider magazine http://www.dirtrider.com/six-more-sweet-moto-and-off-road-products-from-aim#page-6 just did a little article about how SWM bought the Itialian factory and they are making a street legal 300 and 500 cc version of the Itilian WR. It looks pretty much identical so there's another source for a lot of the parts you might need.

I'm going to put a new top end in this winter and ride the snot out out of it until it blows then.....I'll post a parts bike hehehehehe

I've been thinking about this very thread recently.
In the last few weeks I've ridden a WR300, KTM 144, 2017 X trainer, as well as a Beta 250RR and 300 RR. After riding the Betas, I really wanted an X trainer. Smaller frame, lightweight, good suspension, and great motor. Then I went home and pulled my 150 out to wash, and took it for a ride around my property. Still scheming in my head how I'm going to bring a new X trainer home, I rode the Husky, realizing that I already have the best bike I've ever ridden. The handling and suspension is as good or better than any of the bikes I rode, and I have that motor working so good the KTM144 was a slug in comparison.

Sometimes you don't realize what you have until you ride a different bike , so I've decided to keep it, keep wrenching on it, and try to make it as good as I can. In the meantime, I'm keeping my eyes peeled for another one in need of attention, to use as my spare/parts bike/backup bike.

Let me know when you're ready

I totally agree with u Zomby woof. Had mine listed then pulled it off when I took a GasGas 250 out for a rip......the little husky is just too much fun...hands down. Was also looking at pulling trigger on new but....my new approach is just that...ride it till she's dead then go buy new or another used rig tba

Ripn, that husky will last a long time so just keep on riding it.

Smashed a hole in my intermediate clutch cover this past weekend without knowing and rode the bike 25km of single track with no oil in it. I was considering parting it out but then decided to fix it. The bike runs and shifts fine. I guess I'll run it till it grenades. I look at new bikes all the time but once I get on the little bike and tear up the single track, I can't think of any bike I like better or could ride better.

I had a friend go trail riding for a day with no oil (he forgot to refill) in the transmission of his husky 250, long story short it ran for years and at least 10,000 more miles.
