    photo chop from thumpertalk. I'm guessing this is real close to reality. Hopefully on the real bike it will be EFI and the EFI body will line up with the intake port :D


    Here is the photchop from the net...

    Cool. I look forward to what they come up with. I have faith it will be good, everything else is so it seems probable.

    I hope its not as bad as everyone is making out to be, otherwise I'll have to go back to Suzuki RMX450 :excuseme:

    Seriously....the retro look is doing well and the triumph sales are proving it. It is also a good option for surplus engines.

    As an additional model I can see this doing well. To change the line to look like that would be a disaster.

    Yes of course.....as an additional model for sure. Retro, reliable, classic alternative for DS to the awsome new TE630. 50 state legal and fits the demographic niche of the typical husky owner. (older dudes)

    Don't ride in flatlands, it will push start even with a failing battery very easily with the fuel injection,..........ask me how I know :thumbsup:

    Ok is it going to be a 250 or 450? It appears I am as confused as most LOL!

    This is all rumor and speculation right now but this is supposed to be the 450 replacement. Husky 250 with the BMW inspired small and good 450 motor. We will see.

    So is the BMW 450 motor better and more powerful than the current 450 Husky motor?

    I can't imagine riding a dirtbike without a kicker backup. The Husky SMRs don't have them and sometimes it makes me nervous! But I'm all ears on the 2011. By then i'll be ready for a new ride for sure. :)
