Not something many companies can do is get all the different size bikes to look nearly identical! It really looks like a mini me 125 or 250!

That's sweet. The Euro mfgs are killing it as of late while the Japanese sleep. How the hell can these smaller oems retool for new stuff when the Big 4 lovers claim they can't afford to retool for anything new.....or 2 stroke related.

I would be inclined to guess at a Husky dealer.

Just shown at the Milan show this week. Subject to Husky importing them, I suppose.

Cant wait til my little boy is ready to step off his CRF50 and onto that.

Kudos to Husky for stepping it up! Cant say the same for too many other manufacturers.

So, the smaller mfgs can still afford to retool and build fresh new stuff that isn't even getting sold in the US market.........hmmmmmm. How do you spell sheep again? LOL Meanwhile, Kawasaki raises the price on the ten year old KX65 that replaced the 15-20 year old KX60.

Now, instead of saying "way to go KTM", I guess I'll have to start including Husqvarna in there as well.

Looks impressive for sure. Gotta hand it to Husky. They are making serious efforts in all off road segments........

In all fairness, Newmann, I wouldn't be surprised if that Husky cost twice what you would expect to pay for the KX65. What's more, there is no assurance that it is a better bike. Definitely looks pretty and updated, but it could be an unreliable POS underneath.

Slam a Daytona DOHC and some heavy springs in that thing.

KTMs and Huskys are the best looking bikes.
