So I started another thread and need some additional input. KTM vs Husq MotoEnduro models? Same bikes still, different colors? What the biggest difference on the 300's? Online specs look very similar.

Whether or not you want your wife to come to completion or squeal like a pig.

The big thing is the linkage as mentioned. There are other details if you walk around them, like cast triple clamps on the KTM vs machined clamps on the Husky.

I can say I was leaning toward wanting the husky for the linkage but went with the KTM and it's awesome having an offroad bike with the clearance and no need to clean linkage parts. It actually performs well on jumps and offroad whoops.

The most notable difference between the Husky 300 and the KTM 300, aside from the linkage on the Husky, is the fuel-injected 2 stroke motor that Husky developed. The Husky four strokes are still using KTM motors.
