I would so buy a new Bultaco/Maico/Hustky if they made an open 2T MX bike that was AVAILABLE.

So sue me, I'm nostalgic.

You obviously weren't around in the late '70's and early '80's, when the Japanese companies were copying their designs. All of their problems started when they got mixed up with Cagiva.

they do have a full shroud. the bottom half is just matte-black which apparently makes it invisible to your average moto enthusiast.

Why can't they just make a 450 like this, only update the shroud and front fender?
Damn that 170 bike looks good.

As much as i'd like to see Husky make a big push into pro mx again, i kinda like Husky the way it is. I had a 08 125, anyone that i ever seen riding another husky by in the pits would smile and wave/give a thumbs up. Soon i found myself doing it, Just don't get that on many other brands. It was a great bike. Too bad the local dealer ruined it for me.

Tough bike TMZ! That front fender makes such a big difference. If I wasn't sold on the KTN 150SX I would buy the Husky 125/ 144.

Shit jeffro, mt view opens tuesday, I got some buds heading down to albany tomorrow. I probably have about 2 more weeks of healing before I try and handle a bike.
and like PC said, Castle Rock MX will be open soon and Steve Corrie is doing the track so it will for sure be a blast to ride. It's a ways up I5 but at least it's right off the freeway. It's would be another good place in case some folks from up north wanna hook up for a ride, along with Burnt Ridge and Riverdale.
I am all about Riverdale because they don't seem to get the crowds. I will take a shitty track and more ride time over a pristine track and 1:15 min wait between motos.

They got lucky getting away from BMW that's for sure. You could already see the deluded design features showing up in their new bikes. May just start heading in the right direction to make an impact in the mx markets. Will be interesting to see how long before there are some mx race teams around the world

That's a very pretty little Husqvarna.

Never understood this attitude. You really happy with a 4 way Japanese monopoly? Find it funny how brands invested in moto get this frosty attitude.

I agree. The Japanese bikes are great, and par for the course at the moment, but I think that'll change, and once the euro bikes have a solid product and a solid reputation, they'll be par for the course.

Hate to break it to you but they haven't had anything to do with chainsaws and stuff since 80's. Have you ever ridden one ??? didn't think so

Hate to break it to you but Husqvarna still makes chainsaws-the motorcycle division was,of course,sold off years ago,but the name remains for some reason.

Actually they make one of the best chainsaws on the market today.

jefro98 liked a picture of mine on Instagram the other day, I have no idea how he saw my account, but it was sorta funny seeing a vital face like a picture of mine out of the blue like that. And in other news...

The more we talk about Huskys makes me want one. They look pretty tough.

Awesome, their front fender gives me hernia, looks like something from 1983, while the rest seems to be spitted out from Area 51 (stealth-ish). That RMZ front fender really improve the looks!!! Good thinking!

If they made a 250 MX bike i'd be all over it. The 144 just won't quite have the balls. And the price is right on these things too.

I like husqvarna. Not the best but neither am I. I like there 125 it comes with a 144 kit. So u get a free upgrade and rebuild, and it costs $1000 cheaper than KTM and Yamaha. And how many people do you know at your local track with a husqvarna. There 65 is sick looking too.
