all of those updates apply to the 2015 KTM line as well, they are still white KTMs, no t a complaint, just letting you know

Good call.. I didn't really cross reference them too much but it looks like you're right. I know there hasn't been very much time for R&D but I figured they'd drip some kind of differentiater into the line.

Oh wait, there it is.. Neken vs Renthal handlebars. Strategic.. Very strategic. Touche, Austria..

that from a European website, I don't think we'll see the TE125 in the states that they have on there.

They get real Excel rims, and a few other things from the KTM. At the end of the day it wasn't worth the extra 500 bucks for a different color and nicer rims for me

Yep... But I hate the colored valve covers. Looks like something an 18 year old does to his Honda Civic - would look much better the same color as the clutch cover.

Is there something wrong with this photo, or is it? PDS mount on the swingarm? Must be the TC 85 swingarm?


But here it's linkage?

There were pretty cool seat covers in the 80s. The cover on the '15 husky looks mid/late 90s aftermarket.

I'm disappointed that Husky didn't go with the bright blue and yellow.

The blue is on the Enduro models


I like the direction they're going in though... still wish there would be a bit more differentiation between this and KTM. Maybe next year...

Black and Yellow on the MX models is for a very good reason...& the sub-frame is made from New & Improved Composite Materials...

I'm jus' sayin'...

The Husky's also come with the removable skid plate on the FE's and DID Dirt Star rims on all models.

Guys, the bikes are white, yellow and dark blue, all of them. Grey is just due to pics quality...

I don't see the point in selling Huskys that are the same as KTM. and how can you tell what the differences are, because Husky doesn't even mention KTM in their brochures. if they do make them different, who gets the good parts? will KTM willingly build a Husky that is better than a KTM? I doubt it. I guarantee you anyone buying a HUsky wants to know "what is the difference between this and a KTM?" If I was a KTM dealer I would be pissed if a Husky dealer opened up down the street selling the SAME bikes.

Dealerships have territories to help prevent that kind of thing. It's not just open up a dealer next door to the KTM dealer. The location has to be approved and is subject to all kinds of different rules. For now they're very similar with some differences. As the years roll by expect the differences to become more substantial.

Ugly Colour Scheme - When Husky went from Yellow and Blue to Red and White ( Original Husky ) It was much accepted, appreciated and preferred. Polisport sold many kits to convert Yellow Huskies to Red. Now they have gone for a completely mismatched colour styling - Yellow and White not strong complementary colours ! Who does that ? As if the designer is a KTM lover so he is designed the Husky sarcastically.

Else it is a KTM with a linkage is a good thing !
