Info First!
2015 Husqvarna TC250
B/C Class rider
Weekend Warrior
19 Years old
165 pounds with gear
5'10
Why a write up for a 2015? The '17's are coming out! Well, I think every bit of information before purchasing the TC250 will potentially help someone that's seriously considering purchasing this machine.
Before this TC250 I owned a '15 YZ250 (I've rode Yamaha's for years, first timer on a Husky).
When I sat on this bike I felt at home, like my Yamaha's, maybe even better. The bike gels for me, the suspension is awesome for my riding. The power? Let me put it this way. The Husqvarna has 2 map settings on the handlebars that I call "mild" and "wild." Mild is awesome, good traction, controllable and powerful up top. Wild is more low end and signs off early on top, not too bad though. The power of both settings is like letting Mike Tyson hit you in the face, its that wild. I like both settings, although I'd favor the Mild setting for now. Bike comes with powervalve springs to adjust how the power valves function, again, its Mellow, Mild, Wild. I like mild for my spring. It handles awesome, turns like my old '06 RM250, not exactly, but VERY close!
Final opinion.
I love the Husky TC250. Awesome machine, tons of goodies, adjustable for every rider, and a very well built bike.
If I had the choice between the Husky and a YZ250, I'd choose Husky. The suspension is great for me but I've heard it needs some valving, I can't say if it does or doesn't but having suspension set up for you and your abilities will make any bike better than before. For me, a B/C rider on the weekends, its perfect for me!
This is just a brief write up, sorry if I didn't go into great detail but I tried to mention things I thought would be important.

The Shop
Edit: this is also coming from a person that decided to spend $400 on the 4cs forks and decided 'good enough'.
Great bike, but the first time I rode it I was very disappointed with the 4CS forks. The track was wet and destroyed (it was January in the UK), so it really tested them. They were harsh. The Ohlins was worth every penny, but I'm sure I could have got the standard stuff dialled in a little better with some more time.
