Cool bikes, descent engine, but something just felt "strange" in the chassis department to me. Bike felt like my 2002 KX 250 with no front end feel.....but it was not set up for me
the boys i ride with have , 2016 350 husky with factory WP suspension , 2016 YZF450 , 2016 CRF250 & KTM250f , 2016 CRF450 & KTM250f , 2015 350 husky with full ohlins , 2015 KXF450 .
very one of these guys loves the TM 2 stroke handling and the way it makes its power , all of them are as quick or quicker on the TM than there own bikes and it is set up for me . so they cant be as bad as you make out plus they look really good :-}}}
Anyone else notice Husky claiming 63hp for the 450? I thought it was 59hp last year.
I'm disappointed the 250t still uses a carb and a mechanical power valve.
I want a new 300XC, but not sure about switching to the Husky version.
Everything I have is either orange or has a KTM sticker on it....
A 2016 rmz 250 goes for 7k, the husky 250f goes for a hair under 10k.
the GET brought it out it is a load of crap all it does is turn the power down it is not a real for of TC , the road bike versions that run off the crank are the same , put your trust in that and your going home in the ambo .
the so called launch control they have is the same it is crap all it does is cut the power in the first 2 gears , anyone with half an idea on how to use a clutch and throttle will smoke them every time
you need to ride a bike with real TC and full electronics to understand it , but it still isn't going to work on a dirt bike .
$800 upgrade for a bike that's modern and actually being developed extensively...hardly the $3000 difference you are making it out to be?

Against the KTM 250F that would be a 2000 euro difference.
Maybe it's just me, but no new dirtbike should ever cost over 8000$/euro, unless it was a special edition.
Suzuki may have been left behind with their R&D, but I'm betting their all-new RMZ will still be over 1K cheaper than a KTM around these parts.
The absolute worst is the YZ250 which has had a ~1500 price increase over the last 7-8 years without changing a bolt on the bike. (yeah I know, plastics and forks bro).
The only husky dealer here has the bike listed for 9800, I can get an rmz for 7k.
But yet you want computer controlled EFI and power valve? Kind of ironic.
I think you're missing my issue, I don't really care so much about the traction control as I do about the direction the industry is headed. Gimmicky or not, it will help sometimes. And it will give inexperienced riders extra confidence.
So what about ABS? I know that won't work well on dirt bikes either, but how often you hear somebody say they don't like or don't use the front brake? I hear it frequently. I bet those riders would jump at ABS, and instantly become faster without any real skill.
Then stability control? Ford is implementing technology to allow cars to jump pot holes. So when are we gonna get bikes that can read the terrain and "jump" braking and acceleration bumps?
I'd rather see improvement in frame, suspension geometry.
As for launch control... the KTM/Husky version is different then what the Japanese run as it also limits RPM and doesn't cut back as much power... It's actually useable on across all starting conditions unlike the others which are really only usable for hard-packed and concrete.
As for being crap... The majority of the teams are using this system and it can make a difference if setup properly.
I do get what you are saying but you can't really blame Husky for it.
