All 2st New Smokers For 2013

I was referring to the many that were calling for Husky to put the old engine in the TC frame until a whole new bike was ready. I am sure it would be a waste of time and money to e-start the old engine.
GP

When they bring out a new 250/300 it will be brand new from the ground up. I have been told by people inside HNA, that a new 250/300 is their #1 priority right now.

The same guy told me that EVERY single model that Husqvarna builds today will have a new engine by MY15.

I expect that they will also transition to the body work style currently on the new TE/TXC/TC's......

noooooo! just make the old style a bit more 'stylish'(2012 gasseresque maybe)

A full size looking 65 plastic set up wouldn't be to bad.

yeah ya right they have grown on me a bit, still like the 250/310/wr style tho. new headlight time too-something sharp & good lookin like the tm/fantic/gasser type & not the 449 style. old headlight looks a bit china bike imo!

350cc in a new frame thats like an agile 125 and weighing in at 100kg dry.

Bodywork...pfft, anything that crashes well

I would like a Tc310 since I am going to race vet class now.

Pedec...2 stroke's mate..how dare you come to this thread with blasphemous words like TC310

PS. I'm joking with you mate!!

I sure hope Husky has something in the pipeline. I rode a 2012 Berg 300 last weekend and I really hate to admit it but it is a nice bike. I have ridden several KTM 300’s from 99 – 08 and always hated them. Although the Husky hasn’t changed much since at least 99 it is such a good bike that I still always preferred it. But I think KTM has finally caught up.

The Berg handled really well, in fact it felt like a slightly heavier and much more powerful Husky untralight to me. It would turn and the twitchy feeling of the past was gone. I really liked the suspension, it was firm but soaked everything up in a very controlled manor. The motor did not seem to hit hard then hit the wall in a vibrating midrange like the older ones did although I still like the Husky motor a little more. I have not had a ride on the new Gasgas but I bet it is nice also. I really hope we see a new Husqvarna real soon.

But do we really know what will happen to the euro smokers soon? I thought they had to meet some much stricter emission standards in 2014? The optimistic assumption seems to be that everyone will release DI bikes at that time. But do we know that the technology is developed? Isn’t it also possible that all the 2 strokes just go away in 2014? I hope that is not the case but with what a technological leap it will be it just seems that we should be seeing these new wonder bikes by now. If Husky is coming out with a completely new motor with DI shouldn’t they be racing and testing prototypes by now?

are you guys crapping your pants every year like this? this is ridiculous guess y'all have to just wait and see what happens. All you're doing is speculating. Have a day at a time and keep riding while you can

Ooooops

LOL I just pooped mine looking at that poor kid; freeky !
