    revive the Husqvarna 360 name, base the 360 on the x-lite motor design concept (scale up as needed) put it in the x-lite chassis (all ready in production with its full components package)
    TC360ie MX1, SX, MX or perfect vet racer, no cc class racer
    TXC360ie xc version for GNCC, XC and enduro E2 class
    ok and a TE360ie DS bike
    Norm great seeing you checking in, I am really heading down the 4T downsize path, now that the small bore 4ts are amazingly capable and managable. As for your beloved 2Ts I hope the factory gets right into the heart of the midsize 2T, I think you tiddler 125/144(150) guys are good to go as far as being very competitive as the Husky small bore is right at the top of its game in Jr enduro and 125 MX. A new mid motor 200-300 in a new chassis will just solidify the entire line and with all the brand resurgence the EU has a brilliant 2T line up (KTM,Husaberg,Fantic,G-G, etc) to compete with. RN BRUX

    I am glad you checked in on that one Motosportz.

    PS modern Al chassis are designed to flex after realizing way back in the McGrath SX days that they were way too stiff and harsh from the initial design logic that stiffer /no flex was the way to go.

    hope the can of Al chassis (which are now good) worms is not going to stay open.

    NO,NO, on the aluminum frame.[IMG] Wr's are just fine, perfect.[IMG] Six speed would be good, otherwise let's leave them alone. Best value on the market for 2-stroker. Motosportz, what tire combo do you run on your 510?

    511 [IMG] Stock right now. Mounting up a DOT Pirelli MT43 trails tire for DS work and probably a Motoz IT front.

    I'd just be happy to see a big bore kit for the 310 to 350. I feel like my 2010 310 is no different in power as to my 04 CRF280x :(

    The 350 has appealed to me and I really wanted one when I got out of my 450. They only had 310's so I bought one. Bloody glad I did. They are a great and honest trail machine. Having said that if a 350 came out I would consider it as I am 250 in the buff so a little bit more is probably a good thing for that odd 5 to 10% of the time.

    I agree ! ALUMINUM FRAMES SUCK ! Hard to work on. Too rigid. HEAVY (really). What is the appeal of an aluminum frame ???? Why does anyone think they are better than a steel frame ? ESPECIALLY a CM frame.
