why call it a 511?

My sticker is peeling, should I just leave it off? Maybe I should have a 477 sticker made? Might help some folks sleep better at night.

If you do decide to get stickers that say 477, you can just head down to the local hardware store and pick up some of those square numbers for a mail box. They last more than a couple years.

Haha...

Ah, I think it's my bedtime now. Glad you have a good sense of humor.

I have a 2013 te511, i would like them to be a genuine 511, however these bikes do go just fine. As they are virtually the same price as a 449 here in Australia, I think the 511 is a better option. On saying that both bikes are great bikes. this is my first husky but will be buying more as im impressed with the bike. One of my best mates has a te450 also a great bike, hence the reason i bought my 511.

All I can say is that I am very thankful to look in my garage and see my 08' TE510. The most beautiful piece of eye candy too come from Husqvarna. It's been a couple years since the 449/511 introduction, and I still cannot find it attractive. It's probably a great bike, but when I compare them, it's like looking at a 4 door Porsche. Looks good, but something's just not right with it. Not to hurt anyone's feelings that own one, but they kind of stepped backwards I think. Great design, engineering, but its not a beautiful Husky anymore. Sorry guys!

Using your line of thinking, I should feel like I got something for nothing when my Ducati 1098s engine is actually 1099cc? Or maybe it's just marketing that doesn't change how I feel about that, or if my SM610 is really 610 cc's or not. I like the bikes, thats all that matters. The spec sheet clearly lists the actual capacity..

I think you should send a check in the amount of $2.38 to Ducati for that extra cc.

My 478cc TE511 beats my 510cc KTM 525, without question. I'd say it earns it's 511 badge

Maybe its like the olds 442 naming conventions, 4speed, 4 barrels, dual exh etc. The 511 could be: 5 speed, 1 barrel, 1 exhaust.......My 630 is a 599cc so go figure. Cam.

Haha

Love it

That would make it a 611

wow...I read all 3 pages of this. LOL

sorry

I like round numbers. 125, 250, 450, 500, 600, 650...all good numbers. Numbers I remember on the sides of bikes when I was a kid in the 70's.

Husqvarna broke the mold with the 410 and the 510. Now 449? 511? Where will it all end?

Oh wait...Yamaha had a 426! Those bastards!

The 426 had to be weird. It changed everything. Then what does that mean for the 449/511?

Must be a Euro thing.
My Scorpa 175 is actually 143-cc.
I had the TE310 and now the TE511.
Mix em up all the time when talking about them, 311, 510...
Side stickers came off the 511 when riding (crashing) in the snow.
Was thinking of putting some 310 decals on there, really confuse people - and myself.
