    I can't imagine that you'd possibly get $5k for a used Husky 2 stroke, even one as nice and well sorted as yours. I think even $4k might be a stretch.

    Sad to see you thinking about jumping ship, given how nice and well sorted your bike is.

    If you part, I'm interested in some stuff (transmission); seems like lots of interest in that, though.

    I'm thinking I'm going to keep together and get what I can.

    I screwed up and told my wife it was perfect awhile back. Now she is flipping on me wanting to go to a Yamaha. I think after I sort a bike out and get it dialed I run out of things to do, so I have to get a new bike and start over. :D

    Its an addiction, I have seen it many times. For some people building the bike is the fun part.

    Agreed. A new bike 'Build' is fun and it helps to keep you 'Sane'. A few hours in the basement sniffing Carb Cleaner will clear away most of the troubles from the office...

    Thanks for all the positive comments. I'd like to keep it, but I'm just a one bike kind-a guy.

    I like the sound of 4 G's. You could clean my garage of Husky parts for that. :thumbsup:

    Well, if you like riding it, keep it. If you just need another project bike, surf craigslist and see if you can find a deal on a vintage project bike. That project would start out cheap and have a significant timeline. In the mean time you could continue riding and racing a well set up bike, rather than buying new and racing an unsorted bike for the first half of the season.

    I wanted to do a vintage project, but I just don't have the time. I have a little vintage Suzuki thing I've been working on, but it's not moving forward very fast.

    I've said this before, but it's really just this whole KTM buy out thing. I've just lost my love of the Husky. I don't care for KTM. I don't like the direction they are going or that they dropped Husaberg just to buy a different name for their "other" bike. And I don't like the attitude they have toward the "spaghetti" bikes.

    I was really proud of this bike, but I've just become disillusioned with the whole Husky thing and want out.

    I've had similar concerns - but I feel like I'm drawn closer to the bike because it's unique (even more-so now with the KTM buyout).

    My advice - If you're dead set on selling it - wait until all the left overs are sold. You won't make the money you could if you sell now, because people would rather buy new leftover at a low price vs. a used bike - even if it's in great shape. (just my opinion)

    I can't help but think you will be sorry later.
    I loose some interest after I get a bike dialed (I have 9 now that are dialed and no wife:) ) but I have so much time and money in them that I can't bear to sell.
    Like Kelly says, wait awhile and the price will go up on your bike (if you really do sell it) because the fire sale prices will be a distant memory and the new 10,000$ prices will be the new reality. Your bike will be a bargain at 5000$.

    Nah, I'm not trying to make a bunch of money off of it, nor do I expect to get my money back, I just want to move on.

    I'm sure I will be sorry, because part of me really doesn't want to do it.

    If I was like you and didn't have a wife I'd keep it. :thumbsup:

    Have you ridden a YZ? I have an 06 and cant really come to terms with the handling of the bike. Feels tall and long and doesn't turn well IMO. And I bought this bike new in 06, so I've had plenty of time with it. This is my dune and dez bike since handling isn't as much a concern out there.
