All 2st Husaberg 2 stroke

I agree Walt! Great mag! They give the bikes an even hand as you say. That´s why the Husky WR 300 won their test a while ago!

My contact told me that Berg does have a 2T prototype ready to go, but KTM is so flat broke right now they dont have the cash to bring it to market.

There will be 2 stroke Husabergs in EU only in 2011 but they will be blue rebadged KTMs.

Bajaj Auto India is looking to take control of KTM. They presently own 32.5% of KTM shares and there are enough availible shares to get 51% control. Cash strapped Austrians, don't have means to buy shares to stop this at this time. It will be an interesting year.

Uh-oh. As much as I love to trash talk KTM, I don't like the sound of a hostile takeover by an Indian company. Unless all they want to do is infuse cash into the development of DI 2 strokes, leaving the engineering and manufacturing in Austria. What are the chances of that?

Because there is a lot of stand alone Husaberg dealers in EU and they are begging for more models to sell.

Blue KTMs will not be coming to NA.

Chances are excellent, but it will change some things fundamentally. Final assembly on some models and engineering would stay in Austria. Not trying to trash talk KTM, but they are not so economically sound that they can ride out this economy without a hiccup.
