    Not sure if true, but this is what I'm hearing !!! Anyone hear anything!! If I have to buy a 125 and put a big bore kit on it, I minus well buy a Gas Gas 200 Hope this is BS !

    I am hearing that the 150 is gone as well, but that bikes destined for NA will come with the 150 kit in the crate.

    Please let me know when this is confirmed. I love my 150, but really have not liked all the Husky 125's Iv'e had (except maybe my 1995 model) Thanks

    I wish they would hurry up and make a real WR200 like we have been asking for for years.

    Wow! That would be the true ticket and I'm sure the rest of the 125 based engine would handle it!! I also have now heard that the 125 will come at a reduced price (around $6,000) and the 150 kit will be at a reduced price (around $500) all rumors of course. Give me that 200 and Holy Cow

    love the 125. i ride it cuz it is what it is, a 125 and its all about the rider then. if i wanna bigger motor, ill by a bigger bike. if im on form its fun to hang with or spank the bigger bikes on the 2009 tiddler. coming round full-circle to riding the 125 again has cured my burnout and its a full-on challenge now to do more with half or 1/4 the motor others have. nothin' lame about them- at all! jeez whats this displacement challenged world coming too.....

    not 144, 150, 167, 200.....125's rule....PERIOD.

    I keep going back and forth on going to 144, but I have so much fun on the 125 already, and the thing is as reliable as an anvil. 1-2-5--it's all you need...

    Of course, it might be nice to have and extra 19 cc...

    It is nice. It's like the difference between taking your cousin to the prom versus taking the captain of the cheerleading squad.

    No way.... The 125 is like taking the captain of the cheerleading squad to the prom and the 144 is like taking that really artsy/hippy girl, to camp out at a 4 day rockfest![IMG]

    I can respect that. But because I'm getting fat in my old age (170 pounds) I need the 144. The 125 is lamo to me, but I respect you for what you think and it is still just as fun spanking someone on a 144 as it is a 125 !!
