Surprisingly there's no 300 two stroke motocrosser like the KTM lineup.

Damn, that's the ugliest colour design I have ever seen on a production off-road motorcycle. How did THAT get to production? Sick Aftermarket plastic companies will benefit from this.

Agreed, why didn’t they do this? So much cleaner looking

I like it. It's certainly "different"...but not in a bad way. I think Husqvarna could do something better with their rear number plate area though. THAT'S fugly, IMO.

The new color scheme opens doors for gray/yellow/black/white gear colorways though.

Damn....they sure are ugly. Holy jesus that color combo is terrible. what were they thinking? Does anyone like this? I'm a positive guy....yet i feel a need to complain about the severe ugliness of this machine.
Grey and yellow? Husky: let's run it.
The rest of the world: vomit
That thing is uglier than my freshman year Turnabout Dance date (she looked like Ben Franklin)

I think the phrase 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder' is good statement to use on these particular models haha.

I am seeing TPI on Enduro models right?

So we now have:

XC-W: TPI / PDS

XC: TBI / Linkage

TE: TPI / Linkage

Enduro models are still carryover from last year. It will be interesting to see if the 2024 enduro models get tbi or keep tpi. I think the mapping potential of electronic power valves almost guarantees that makes it to the enduro lineup.

Is it just me, or did the KTM/Husky offroad gas tanks all turn yellowish this year? My ‘19 is almost 4 years old now and the tank isn’t that yellow.

Do you guys really care about stock colors? I always toss on graphics right away.

I already have my name on the new TX300!

This is the real question that I couldn't really see a direct answer to.

I like the color scheme. Not like it matters anyways because I throw on new plastics and graphics.

I kind of like the color but I think it's a step backward from the current color scheme.

I feel that if it was still lowered, they would have made it known in the PR. For me personally, I hope it’s the case. Don’t see a viable need for that anyway.

Paint the frame white, yellow or gray and I think it would look good. That blue frame just doesn't make any sense.

Go easy on ‘em bro. There are few things more humiliating than getting beat by an ‘04 CR125.

I agree. Don't love the color combo but this generation (shape of plastic wise, specifically rear # plate) looks infinitely better than the outgoing version. That bike was ugly as sin.

Nothing compares to the 17-18 TC's

I know they're always looking for prose to highlight the new model changes and feature them in a way to make them as interesting and exciting as possible. But I found this little bit of PR text odd:

"These actuate large titanium valves (32.5 mm intake, 27.5 mm exhaust) which at the 14,000-rpm rev limit open and close multiple times every second."

Multiple times per second you say? How interesting. And exciting. Innovation!

Absolutely. The less money I have to spend on top of paying for the motorcycle the better, and graphics, for what they are have gotten expensive. But I am cheap so take that for what it's worth haha.

I think it looks great. I do believe I’ll be buying myself a fuel injected two stroke this year!

I think this is the best looking (plastic) on Husky yet. Even better than 16-18.

Fuel injected? Basically the same throttle as a four stroke. TPI bikes have been this way from day 1.
