Just got done talking to third husky dealer and they told me exact same thing previous two did, that they have been inundated with calls and inquests on the new Huskys,What really threw me for a loop was a longtime ktm fanatic friend of mine is seriously thinking of selling his ktm 300 and street bike so he can get a new husky, I personally think the two strokes will be near impossible to find and hit and miss with larger 450's and 501's opinions?
Just do what KTM has done and throw white plastics on a pumpkin. No one will be able to tell the difference!
I think the 2015's will be easier to find than the 14's due to the fact there are basically two models this year (Italians/Austrians). I'll keep playing with my Italians . Rode with a friend last week who bought my 06KTM XC300. We switched for awhile and I couldn't wait to get my wr back.I don't know how I used to ride that KTM, it would take a lot more set than the Husky to make it work for me. I still like the KTM motor though.
I went and sat on some ktms's and Beta's the other day. The orange Husky's seemed to fit me better. Really it was just more space.
I like the way the Betas felt but the Husky deffinately has a way more roomier cock pit than a KTM IMHO.
Availability will depend on this business model they want to follow. If they were smart, they would make them available so that people would can buy one instead of dreaming about buying one. IMO but they have to build a demand for the product before they do it the KTM way and limit the availability of them. That was the reason that made me look at a Husky in the first place. I wanted a KTM 125 that I saw on the web, but I found out they would not import them here. The rest is history because I'm sooooooooooooo glad that I found this site and was able to inquire about the WR 150 I bought. I guess only time will tell what track they are going to follow.
Easy, there are some left over 2013 Husabergs around. That's as close as your gonna get for now. Malcolm Smith's has the new Huskatoomabergs listed on their website which at least means they are on order.
