I'm pretty excited to be a part of the new Husky. We've been working with those guys since the deal was finalized last October and we are pumped to see how the new brand will develop.
Yup.

The Bel-Ray Display was pretty damn nice & your boys were working in The Cold...they probably thought they were back in Jersey!

Sure it's a "white KTM" now but next year I suspect that they make some changes that will make Husqvarna stand out more.

There are a lot worse places that you could start from. Plus you have built-in parts availability. The interesting part will be to see how they differentiate in the future, in much the same way Fox could never get away with some of the stuff that they've done with Shift.

Definitely one of my favorite bikes was a '74 Husky Mag 250, and I spent waaaaaaaay too much money & time restoring one several years ago....and I still have a lust/love reaction when I see vintage Swedish iron, so yes I'm a Husqvarna fan. Really cool to see the jumped back into the market. Good luck to them!

Ktm, full of choices for all riders. 50cc-500cc. MX, Off Road, Smokers, Turds etc.

Husky coming around with that same idea.

KTM has grown in all facets of this sport where the others are fumbling around with air forks and no real choices.


KTM today is consistently in the hunt at supercross events. Dominate as hell in off road events.

How will the "big" four look if in 2016 there is a podium shot of A1 with 2 KTM's and Husky on the podium?

These companies are hungry how will the others compete for the business?

But i rode Maico's and likely ride my Service HONDA 500 til I can't swing a leg over it.

My opinion. Just like to see those "big" four types get a little taste of that scenario.

wonder what they will do with that Husky motor which is EFI and rumored ready to go......

MXA has a cool article in the new mag on the Huskys. Their is some differences from the KTMs.
I think they look good, and gives us another choice. If i was going to buy a new SX 250 i would seriously think about the Husky.

I'd be interested in hearing what the 250 SX 2 stroke felt like. One of my best buds picked up a 2013 KTM 250 SX and just loves the thing. And that Husky looks friggin' wicked!

It seems like such a marketing ploy to make a white KTM with a plastic sub frame but I think it is drawing me in. Huh They look great and that 300 kit sounds badass to me. Cool

Anderson was quoted as saying his deal for 2015 would "look similar"...so it sounding like he'll be on Rockstar Husqvarnas for next year.

Or...factory KTM.
