    I wanted a new Husky but the 2 stroke line has been dead in its development. Couldn't see buying a new WR 300 to replace my 09 when its the same bike. I found a sweet 2011 GasGas 300 with 8 hours on it. Bike is set up sweet!! Enduro Engineering suspension already set up for weight, FMF pipe, Akropovich Silencer, skid plate, TM chain guard and more. I am still keeping my TXC 300 so I'll still have a Husky in the stall. When Husky comes out with a new 2 stroke I'll be first in line to get one. Until then I'll be riding GasGas!!

    Nice looking bike. :thumbsup:

    - If you need anything help or have any questions about the bike Richard at House or Horsepower seems to know everything about these bikes. The GG factory team spent a few days with him and learned a few things!!!

    TRADER ! Dude what about a 150????????? Just kidding. I have had many fights with myself about riding a NEW Gasser. They are the best looking bike................ However not quite as refined as a Husky I believe. Still a great bike. I will more then likely buy another 150 for next year, or a 200 Gas Gas 6-day. Hope it treats you good. Be loyal to it. I had a spanish girlfriend for 2 years and one time I.......................... and then I had to sleep with one eye open for the rest of our relationship!!! (Not a joke!)

    i loved my 10 EC250, but i like my 11 150 better most times, probably a personal preference thing.

    I was at my local Husky dealer last week having them check a couple things on my TE.........they are also our GasGas dealer, and had a new EC300 on the floor. That bike caught my attention. Very nice looking and well equiped bike
    My right knee greatly appreciate electric start now days, and I have always liked the idea of an electric start two-stroke.
    I've never been comfortable with KTM handling/feel, so it was nice to see another two-stroke electric start option. Though not sold as a street legal bike, I did noticed this bike even had turn signal switch on it......thoughts of the GasGas with a street plate on it flashed thru my mind (probably not that hard to do in Idaho)

    Hard for me to justify a new bike right now, let alone two bikes, but if Husky got on board with electric start on the WR300, I'd be very tempted to go back to two-strokes again. Especially if I could get a plate on it for the tiny bit of street riding I do.

    I'm regretting selling my EC 300... big time! Although the CR 150 has been scratching my 2 stroke itch quite nicely.
