    Doesn't look like I would have gained a bunch on a 15' vs my 14' fe350.... Hope they have something a little more exciting for 16'???

    What a joke this is. An 06 YZ 250 is still a better bike in my humble opinion and I can buy a mint one for $2500. Re-valve, Rekluse Pro, 18" rear wheel, tank if u need it and eat steak every night for years.

    "06 YZ 250" should say 14' YZ 250f then we're talking! Heard that bike is sweet. But have to say to each there own, I know really fast guys who ride raged out old pos bikes but I make up for my lack of natural talent by throwing money at the problem. There are many people in both categories.

    Wasn't really expecting anything different until '16. They won't announce US models for a bit yet. US Dealer Meeting isn't until September, so we might see a 501 DS bike then. The '14 bikes were really just.... rushed '15 bikes. I like the '14 graphics better.

    Steve.... What would a '15 YZ250 cost? That's more apples to apples.

    They cost a little more then a TC250, just saying :). It's funny because there was only one KTM I ever dreamed of owning, the 250SX. Now I won't have to feel like I'm cheating lol

    I like YZ250's, had not ridden one in a while. Rode a pimped out one with full ohlins front and rear yesterday. My 02 CR250 husky is better. YZ owner agreed. Forgot those things handle like a garbage. Felt heavier than my bike (even though I think it is lighter), turned horrible in comparison, my CR had a better motor, felt like a 300, steered way quicker and was more nimble. Even my home grown 12 year old suspension was better but I know this is a setup issue as i have ridden many a good suspended YZ. I was a Yamaha fan before I became a husky head. Going back really opened my eyes why I switched... handling.

    So the 2015 is basically the same as the 2014 which is basically the same as a KTM. basically we can all agree that we are glad we paid a premium to get white blue and yellow one over an orange one. IMO Husky are nothing more than a graphic's package on someone else's bike. I wouldn't consider another one I would pocket the extra money and buy the orange one with more dealers support or buy something original that is actually evolving growing and reinvesting and buy a Beta

    :cheers: Like I said I like YZ's, used to ride nothing but before husky it just surprising to me when you ride them back to back. I know the YZ can turn but it is not as willing for sure. Great bikes.

    Like I said elsewhere.

    KTM ARE THE APPLE OF THE DIRT BIKE WORLD, NOT THE BEST BY A LONG SHOT BUT THEIR MARKETING IS TOP CLASS !

    Ktm buy over has done nothing for husky or their fans.

    Ktm with a linkage, what's the point :(
