    I'm pretty sure the ktm cylinders are too thin at the water jackets to bore it out. Ktm already has a 200... (which isn't really a 200...)

    I really don't want to ride a Orange bike. Its hard for my wife to pic me out when 70% of the bike are orange. And I know the new Husky are basically part KTM. I wonder why Husky did not offer the 200 or 150?

    The new huskys are mainly ktm's. I feel kind of jipped. I discovered the huskies right before they became blue/white ktms. The Italian huskies (2t) are rock solid bikes. Parts aren't as common as other brands, which is a downside, but the bikes themselves are competitive.

    A good bike that's not orange and has linkage. What an appealing concept!

    Maybe the XC 200 KTM topend will bolt up to a TC125 if the engine is just like the KTM model. Some friends of mine made their XC150s int 200s just like that.

    I believe crankcase machining (complete disassembly) and a new crank is required to. Very expensive and at that point should have just bought the 200.

    I believe, if what I've read and what I can guess at hints at a possible future, the best thing to do is wait a little bit and see when Gas Gas starts rolling out Gas Gas framed/Italian Husky engined bikes. If that happens, I think things will be really interesting again. I intend to keep riding my 08 CR125 and wait for this possibility, or at least until the Austrian Husky's become more distinct from KTM's. If a GG Husky 125 is built, I'll be all over that bike!

    I had a couple of gas gas 250 and 300 and I am pretty sure I will not go back.
