125-200cc WB165, what powerband would you like sir?

If I was riding into riding 4st's, I would own a 310. But I just love everything about the 165 smoker...

I feel exactly the same way! Right now my WB165 is filling in as my dream bike and doing quite well I might add. Hey let me know when we need to start the 175 fund .

I had a 310 with l/vince and 12 port injector and TTX. The 310 is great but I didn't love it. Heaps of grunt and fun to rev out . They are both great bikes - I just don't get the same buzz from the 4 stroke and I hate the feeling that I may have starting issues in the middle of nowhere and the fact you can play with a small 2 stroke a lot more . Sure the 310 would be quicker but is that so important.? On the 165 the front suspension feels better and the bike is lighter. Fueled up I think the 165 was 7 to 8 kg lighter. That helps when you are stuck on the side of a hill and want to turn around!

I sold my 12 KTM 300XC and picked up a 13 WR125 and so far loving this bike. Rode it a few weekends as a 125 then put the 144 kit on to send the 125 to Walt for 165 build. The 144 is even a blast and I give up nothing to the guys I ride with. I was going to try the 144 with new lectron and fmf fatty this past weekend but back was bugging me to bad so in the near future I'll give it a try. I love the way this bike handles and the power is a blast and all the different configurations is AWESOME. Warning to potential owners though your face will hurt from grinning so much after riding the little 125.

That's why I'm planning to sell my '09WR300 & pick up a 125(CR or Wr?) before they're all gone. Also sell some project bikes I'll never get around to. This dirt bike racing thing takes up too much of my time, in a good way of course. I'm thinking CR, better ignition I guess.

Oh yes, the WB165 kit will be a must have. Of course, need to get my arse in gear & fill up craiglist

O so true

I recently have CRF 450x in the collection and believe it or not it stalls on stuff that the WB 165 just lugs on

the 450 does have more power then the 165 but in the off road situations I ride it can be put up for question if i need it (don't need it at all)

I only can say that the CRF scary supriced me a few times with head shake on high speed (something i never experienced with the husky) and your driving style is getting lazy on this bike.

Then again I bought this bike to convert it to a super motar to be my town bike (not for dirt at all)

I just saw Travis for a few minutes tonight, and he told me he also rode your bike this weekend, and is even more in love now. He wants the 125 platform. His main ride is a KTM 350 btw.

Though I would love to be in the 165 crowd, I am impressed with the Uptight 167 and Lectron combo. It's way different than with Mukini.

I would like to know as well. My son is looking at a new bike for 2014, we rode a '12 TXC310 and a '13 250TE Berg so far and it looks like the 310TXC is getting the nod so far.
I'm not convinced that switching to a 4 stroke is the way to go, as he hauls on the '07 WR 144 right now.
We also discussed the option of staying on a 2014 Husky 125/144/165 and setting it up.

Interesting that he liked the 310 over a 250 2T. Was the Berg Pete's by any chance? If it was, I wouldn't be surprised if it had a G2 300 or 400 cam in the throttle which could really skew the impression.

I know you said "new bike for 2014" but FYI, I'm looking at putting my 11 TE 310 on Craigslist soon. 1600 miles, about 110 hours on the bike (over 50% of which was with my 9-10 year old niece and nephew) with only 2 hours on a brand new bottom and top end (done at Keytime), 12 hole injector and TXC310 ECU with JD Jetting EFI unit, and it even comes with MX51s which, IIRC, were you preference. Just a thought.

How would I get the 165 kit and how much does it cost in US dollars?
