A couple months ago MXA did a race test on the TC 450. For those who don't subscribe to the mag, here is a link to the test. I have been an MXA subscriber for years, and this is by far the best review they have ever given a husky. It doesn't sound that great, but it is pretty positive compared to older reviews. http://motocrossactionmag.com/ME2/d...0&tier=3&nid=200EA566BACF4CE59AC2AFF4C20FE54D
the funny thing is,,,,,that if the top non pros (like most everyone on the track. would check lap times I would be willing to bet that they feel faster on a crf or YZF or RMZ but most likely would be faster on the more trackable Husky. That was a reasonable MXA review and they never ride a bike without gearing it down including every other bike they test.
