i had a lefty so long that to this day it feels weird to kick on the right side. I miss it actually. You could lean he bike over for serious leverage and barely put any effort into kicking it. Way less energy expended.
I shall invest in a trip out there.... and go for walk on the trail, with my dark glasses, waving my white stick. All I want is a photo of when we meet around a tight corner.
im glad im not the only one that has an easier time kicking with the left. i think its whatever you learned with...is there really a difference? right or left? i do think having the throttle on the right, that left kickers are easier to kick off or on the bike...with a right kicker, it seems hard to stand off and kick with the left leg...
yeah, learned to kick on a left kicker. once you get it down you dont want to switch. of course everythings going to push button start so it will be null and void within 5 years anyway
C'mon, this isn't true at all. I don't think KTM has ever spoken negatively about the technology on the BMW bikes. The reason they aren't using it is twofold: -BMW probably owns some of the technology and -KTM is leveraging their own technology, which they are familiar with, on these bikes. There's no good reason (from a business or quality standpoint) to have a separate line of bikes which uses very different technology, that the manufacturer and dealers aren't familiar with. What would make you say that? Husky has a full line of enduro/offroad bikes, just like Husaberg did. They are putting together a big offroad race team too.
No, it's twue, it's twue. When they interviewed Pierrer he said the main reason why Husqvarna wasn't selling bikes was due to the old, outdated, odd technology mixed with too much emphasis on street offerings. Wade through the thread on the purchase and see for yourself. All he wanted was the stickers man.
Don't worry, you guys will be able to buy Italian huskies, albeit used for decades to come. Just came across this beauty today. 1989 Husqvarna WRC 125 Enduro - Excellent - $1600 (Loveland) CO
Soooo, does that make the price go up or down?....LOL. The rebadge at home kit isn't THAT expensive...
