All 2st new husky owner!!

hi all at cafe husky!!! i have been racing harescrambles since 2004 i did 2 in the early 90s i wouldnt consider my performance racing by any means but my buddies dragged me in to it;( any way,years later after getting married and kids i wanted to get back into dirtbike riding it kind of stuck with me so i got a 04 crf 250x it was nice being brand new and relearning and getting skills back but i could never feel really good with the 4 stroke.so i got a really good 03 yz 250 and got it really set up for harescrambles and raced it for about a year and got an 04 as a backup so i had two really good bikes and didnt have any issues.....except bordom....see i always followed harescrambles and enduros even though i didnt ride as a youngster and remember king richard(dick burlson) and jeff fredett(sp) and thought they were really tough guys and husqvarna was the bike to have eventhough jeff rode green.sooo now that i got 4th in senior A class last year overall i decided to get myself the bike of my dreams. i sold both yz's mind you there was nothing wrong with them at all and got a 2009 wr 250 i got it from a fast guy in the super senior class and it only had 6 races on it!!! he had end.eng.do the susp.on it and a i.m.s tank thats it. i have about an hour and a half of hard sprints on my personalized 15 acre woods course and let me tell you..if i would have known these bikes were this good huskys would have been in the stable all along i didnt change anything and i felt right at home on this bike other than it being jetted really- really -really rich this thing is a dream come true.i know im talking waaay too much but at 45years old i feel like i cant wait for the next race with this thing i am sooo siked!!! and reading what you guys and girls say about these bikes also had a really big impact on me getting it so thanks to all of you and this cafe husky site!! oh yeah raserx you know who i am,i live ten miles from you,i need your jetting expertise !! please call me john-703-898-3605---i rode your wr at the cow patty last year!!! thanks again to all!

ENJOY!!

It is a good bike. I wish I had mine back the day I sold my '06. Now I am just waiting for an updated model.

Your story sounds familiar. I had been riding a YZF426 and then a YZ250 for years and I tried my buddies 06' WR250. Big mistake!
I just felt like home to me. The next day I bought a 09' wr300 and there's been no turning back.

I have a hard time riding Japanese bikes now. It's not that they're bad, but they feel so cramped and the steering feels too sharp. Even my middle-of-the-road- handling YZ feels super twitchy compared to my WR. And I MUCH prefer the WR motor in the woods vs. the YZ.

Its hard to have one do it all bike. Much to my wife's dismay!
