Hope the American scene gets a Factory Husky team soon. You can't believe how excited everyone is in the GP scene about this team.

I'm with you guys,.....I'm really digging the look of the new husky's!

Hey....have you guys seen one up close yet? I got a chance to check out the one on the stand down @ Oakland , and I had no idea that the entire airbox was Carbon Fiber!! Pretty damn trick!

Anyone in the know.....what's the main differences between the Husky's and the KTM's?

I raced huskys several times.

A 75 model in 76

In 1986 a friend opened a husky shop and told me cagiva was buying husky from electralux and would have a 250 in 88.

I saw a chance to get on early,bought a 430,demo 250cr and went to loretta's got 7th in 87

In 88 got the new cagiva 250,2 of them plus a parts deal ,they gave me a 87 stribo replica 125 to play on in that class.

Bought a schoolbus and hauled al six in the back,had bunks up front ,shower,john.

Kevin Foley and keith whitley we on the 12 man team,by Lorettas just me and keith.

Got a 6th or 8th in 88 ,by 89/90 they had run it in the ground.

The rear suspension on the 250 cagiva was a straight rate,all jap bikes used a increasing curve,more shock per wheel travel.

I broke swingarms all the time,had a half dozen i welded on and kept with me.

In 2000 got a 250 and 610,made 22k in husky bucks in 18 months,lol.

Back to lorettas ,got 7th.

Still have my 02

The mechanic's uniforms look like the overalls riders used to wear for practice in the 70s.

Tyla always looked good on his KTM, so adjusting to the new Husky should be a pretty easy thing. If he does well (which I think he will), can we claim him as an AMA guy? Tongue

Lets see, around 2000 he arrived in Europe and was here for 8 years. Spent 5 years in America. Nope, he will be one of ours if he does well. If he sucks, then hes all yours, hahahaha.

Slightly off topic, but I remember a story back in '86 Cagiva flew one of our fast D-11 boys by the name of Brian Wilson out to CA to test the new Cagiva's and possibly get a ride with them. In three days he destroyed three bikes.

Interesting.

I'm trying to picture that 610 you mentioned. I remember it looking really cool, but I'm drawing a blank whether the one you had had water cooling. Im guessing no. Visions of a slimmer ATK come to mind. Off to google images I go.

Anyways, what's Jacky Martens up to these days? Any of you Euros know? He rode some nice looking Husky's. Seemed like a good guy from what I read in the magazines back when.

Doesn't matter what they do to those pretty bikes, but they will be turds and suffer mechanical failure after failure.

?? Don't think so mate. Look for both riders to fight for podiums and major points at every GP. This is the real deal. In my opinion, I can only see two or three guys beating Tyla on a regular basis and Waters will be a top 10 guy, sometimes top five.
