This bike is "SHARP" as hell!!! I love it!!! I'm glad I held off on buying a new husqvarna. I'm getting this at the end of year or as soon as any one of local dealers in my area gets them on the showroom floor. Checkout the photos http://www.mcnews.com.au/2011_Bikes/Husqvarna/TC449/index.htm Look out Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Honda, & KTM. Husqvarna is coming at you full throttle !!
That linkage looks very neat, nicely tucked away-that is as impressive to me as the co-ax drive. Good work Husky
Down side is shorter shock and higher placed weight. But look how smooth the bottom side of the bike is, will be nice here in the NW will tree crossings etc. Look how EZ the rebound is to get to
I like the new 449/511 but some things get me. Sure no kicker is a weight saver, but it's always nice to have there if you need it. The main thing that gets me is the 511 is really only 477.5cc. Only +3mm bore over the 449. No longer stroke? I patiently await Kelly's real world hands on with the TE 511.
6048 x 4032 rez. on the WR 250 shows us there is a stearing lock on that bad boy. Do they always have those?
Looks like the website is updated. Well kinda.. does this link work for anyone else doesn't work for me. http://www.husqvarna-motorcycles.com/_vti_g5_ver.aspx?IdVer=193&rpstry=167_
At the moment it has all the entertainment value of a clothes dryer. The little circle keeps spinning and spinning and never loads. I am sure it will eventually get fixed.
Well at least it's not just my piece of crap computer. I did notice that the cr 50 is up there though. Thats kinda cool. Looks like I gotta go out and have some kids now.
What really bugs me about the company site is that my firefox browser seems get slow after visiting it. Real slow. Until I turn off/on my computer... which for me is quite painful. I believe it is a fire fox specific issue.
used IE and then learned about Firefox, loved it then learned about Chrome. Might try that seems to work VERY well like all Google stuff.
