125-200cc Husky 144/150 vs. KTM200 vs Gasgas200

Any chance you can join all the other Husky tiddler riders in Bend in a week and a half? Would be very cool to have about 30 all in a line.

Here is a video of the CR125 climbing some technical switchbacks, off the pipe. I have ridden the KTM200, owned 2 kdx200's and a kdx220. The 125 for me is a better bike. The fun factor is through the roof. I feel I am faster on it, and more important for me I am faster for longer because it is so easy to ride. I really think the gasgas is a great platform for shorter people, it really feels similar to the KDX ergo wise to me. The open platform of the Husky's just feels like home to me now.

This section is called the Devils staircase. Not bad for a 125, mx version even.

Nice video, is the 125 you are riding stock displacement or a 144,167? I cant believe the low end it has, the trail looks steep. What was the elevation you were riding at?

It is a 2009 cr125, stock pipe, stock carb, runs great, it is amazing how low it will continue pulling without stalling.

The elevation there went from about 3500-4500 feet, cant wait to get back up there this summer.

Awesome vid. Proof, yet again, that the CR can do everything the WR can do...only better... without all the frickin' tuning drama.

What does it say about me that I fell and broke a lever just watching those videos.

I plan on putting a ring in it... I really want to keep it a 125, I love the way it works now.

There is so much shrub up there you can't tell but you don't want to get ether wheel off cuz a lot of times it is a drop off. About 10 years ago that hill was almost impossible to climb (and was labeled down hill only... which did not stop us :>) but has blown out with use so not it is doable. It is pretty steep and from years of traffic (mainly coming down) it is silty and rocky.

Here is me doing it last year on a WXC250 and you can see the approach and where i stop and my friend has a little fun with me at the bottom you can see the ridge you go up.

when you heal up and start riding a gain and try the 165 you will be singing a different tune

Thanks. Fun trail / area only open 4-6 months a year due to elevation.
