That's cool but honestly, I think I learned a lot about line selection from learning how to ride on this bike:



With only 7 inches of super soft suspension you had to be smart about your line choices. And besides, I don't think I would've really gone much faster on that Husky. $5400 is ridiculous for a 65. Seriously, even if I had that much for my kid, I would much rather buy something for around 2K and invest the rest for his future.

No kid would want that Husky because all kids (and us old men too) want is to "be like RC/MC/KW/etc." If the top pros rode Huskies, so would we (kids included). The fact is, NOBODY rides one.....so what kid would want that? They don't care if it has seven piston disc brakes, inverted air soft oil forks, a flux capacitor, or anything else. They just wanna LOOK (i.e., feel) like their heroes.

That little KX looks more like a PC modern bike and therefore, any self-respecting kid would prefer that over that tricked out $55,000 husky.....unless his heroes are those guys in the Lumberjack World Championships.

It was obvious when they "made" an aluminum tank that this wasn't your average weekend garage warrior.
So I googled, and it turns out that Duane Brown (dad in the video) is one of the BBR guy.

that makes sense. reading the article, i was scratching my head trying to imagine how much money they soaked into it, not to mention professional handi-work to build the pieces.

sweet ass ride no less

Cool deal.........................the only thing is, I'm pretty sure Honda used to run a black clutch lever instead of front brake lever........of course I have been wrong before.

Bollocks B58, They want to ride what their mates ride - KTMs and Cobras. Ride a KX60? Most 10 year olds would rather eat worms.... I haven't seen one a meeting for a LONG time.

We had once of those CR60s too for my brother. we tricked it all out too and tore it down and painted everything on it. Then some tool broke into our shop and stole it. Left our big bikes but stole it.

$5, 000 for a toy?

No way - seriously? That's way too much money. But I guess the privileged class can afford that sort of thing for their kids.

Look at what this kid got for a present....Wonder what that big snake is really thinking....
