Well good deal. More riders to the 450 mix is always a good thing and a win for us fans.

So the Rockstar team will be Anderson and Pourcel? It'll be interesting to see who becomes the more dominant rider out of those two.

Heard that Davalos was supposed to ride the 450 outdoors but has some sort of illness. Unsure

Both totally different (but awesome to watch) riding styles too. Hope they both keep it on two wheels this summer!

Hmm. I've typed 3 responses about Davalos and deleted them. . . I'll just keep my opinion short. He's more dangerous on a dirt bike than any sketchy part of a track. If he could figure out how to keep it shiny side up, he'd be awesome. But he just can't.

This is awesome. Last summer i thought that it would be nice to see what he could do with torque of 450 on those weird lines he uses. I really hope that he can get good starts with that husky so Dungey and others have to work their way around him like the 250 kids had to do last summer ! Cant wait

Hell YES! Get to see the "smoothie" ride live at least twice again this year in the fresh air.

Nagl's bike seems to ooze power... Hoping for the same here for the U.S.A. unit.

Nonetheless, GO ET3! Honda be damned, it is in the "right" hand.

US bike will make more power than the GP bike.

I just hope Pourcel lines up for all the races.

He's my definition of how to ride a dirt bike.

Glad he's on a good bike.

Could do some real damage. Nagl has shown that the bike is plenty fast enough, and Pourcel himself is no slouch.

LaughingLaughingLaughing Who would have ever thought "good bike" and Husqvarna would be associated again? Outside of the few odd ducks out there....Smile

Man, my 1979 125CR was excellent!

Old early 80's Husqvarna chainsaws were OK... Jonsereds were better.

I nearly "dry heave" seeing a new Husky riding mower when I have to go to Lowes. What Junk. Don't even bother to see what is under the hood.

Nice brand recovery, albeit KTM influenced.

Hope so & also hope he can run the 377 he's made it his own . Was the announcement delayed due to his association with Monster & needed released from their contract ?

huh? A full factory bike in GP makes less power than a Production based bike????
