Primero Is this the same Husqvarana Company that bmw owns and controls in the usa? Or something different? --- One question & answer from the article sets them light years ahead of the usa racing .... Q: This year you will have only one MX3 rider, why this decision? A: Yes we will have only one factory MX3 rider. We took this decision because we want to concentrate more in EMX2 European Championship with two riders and one in MX3 World Championship. 250 cc market is more important for us so we want to grow in this segment. What a stud!!! He wants to grow the 250cc market Get him a passport and get him to usa at a very high salary ( usa tried and proven technic ) -- Great article and they believe in 2-strokes!!! We are reading the wrong magazines and racing & living on the wrong side of the ocean ... It sounds like these guys are real motocross guys with the best for motocross in mind ... lets see, motocross came from Europe and was exported to usa in the late 60s... Maybe they know a little more about motocross than we do ... I might be alone here, but I'm getting tired of the sunshine pumping in the usa about Husky racing when a legitimate effort is being made over seas and our guys here are left to go it on there own and blocked out of MX \ SX again this year unless something changes quickly here. Did Husky finely do the paper work for ANY homologation ? Or or we still self-blocking our PROs from racing? Forget any factory support ... The privateers I think will do well on the current bikes... The Team Husqvarna was one of the most successful MX3 teams in 2009. Their rider Alex Salvini was fighting for the World Championship Title and finished second at the end.
Little worked up there ray ray? I'm guessing that the finally out there 250F motor is the only motor they care to go forward with in mx/sx. I'm sure there will be a new 450, maybe the bmw, that they push more in mx/sx. Until then I think it makes sense to keep the pro mx team in Europe, close to the factory and really make that 250F the best it can be. The cost of getting a good US racer is probably more than the cost of the entire race team in Europe. I couldn't care less about mx/sx. KTM really hasn't made much traction selling mx/sx bikes in the us and they're committed.....there's too much ground for Husky to make up in offroad to focus too much on mx
LOL ... yep ... These are very cool bikes and I luv riding them but I guess you are right.... toss the towel in here in usa and watch the bikes perform at the PRO level racing in EU and watch the rice burners spoon feed (goo-goo ga-ga) us what they want for racing in the usa. I'm just sick of hearing about how great they are. I'm not a SX fan either really, it looks cool doing all that jumping, but it is the same thing over and over and over ..track to track ...make a turn, do a jump, make a turn, do 2 jumps ... Just open the door for some privateers to race in the MX class here ...I'm sure some of these guys will kick some a$$ on a Husky and it will be fun to watch
