Went to the dealer and they just got in the new07' Husqvarna bikes.
They look pretty sweet!They make a 250,450,510 and a 610dual sport.Here are some pics.






this last one is a 610

 

Those sure look sweet!![sm=icon_rock.gif]

 

what kind of price tags they carry?

 

6-speed tranny also, which seems to be a bit rare for this class of bike. Agreed on the componentry - you won't need to upgrade anything on that bike.

 

The 610's are counter-balanced and built more for road-going than the others. It's still lighter than mostfactory dual-sports. The others are literally dirt-bikes with lights andobviously lighter than the 610. The 510 is supposedly a beast and too much for tight trails. The KLX250S might be the better bike for going furtherdown the road reliably compared to the TE-250, 450 and 510 but the Husky's are pure DP-lust.

I know that huskies been around for a long time but I don't know howreliable they are. I am going have to do some investigating! I might just have to show up at the northeast ride event on one of these....! lol

 

Although that Italia bike is very sweet.... KLX is a better all around ride.

 

Man, am I living in the past or what. Last thing I new, Husky was a Swedish brand. I'm seriously dating myself here.

1979 marked the passage of Husqvarna to Electrolux which maintained control until 1986, when the motorcycle division was sold to the Cagiva Group. Since then, Husqvarna motorcycles have been conceived, designed, and created entirely in Italy. This new course brought a gust of technological innovation that married a prestigious manufacturer with a premiere brand.
