First ever podium in the premier class at least since the 70s, definitely first time to ever podium in both. I think they'll probably have another 250 win as well as a 450 by the time the year is over.

Husky was the first non Japanese bike to win in either class since the 70s when Travis Preston won a dozen years ago, KTM was the only other when Dungey won big bikes.

Your kidding right? They are KTM's with white plastic. Not a separate manufacture. Great ride for Anderson. He made Dungey an embarrassment.

Stoked for Husky & their 2 riders. I've always been a Zacho fan & I'm liking Ando more & more. Their bikes looked good off & on the track!

Very cool for husky to make the podium in both classes. The breakdown of bikes in the classes is interesting, especially the 250's. It seemed it used to be all Honda's for the bulk of the riders, but that looks to be changing.

There were more RMZ450s out there than ever. It seemed like every other bike was a Zook

Does Anderson's result show that KTM wasted a shit load of money making a Factory Edition bike for this Supercross season?

Or will it pay off in the long run.

I know it is only one race, but Dungey did not look any better or any worse on the new bike, he looked like the same ol Dungey, the guy who will always be there, has the pace to win on his good days and will finish 3rd - 4th in every other race.

Short made a good case for the bike. Or perhaps it was the front/back air suspension?

Yeah, for real. It is a KTM with white plastic. Stop acting like it is made in Sweden. It has been passed around like a ..... Jeez.

It is not the same bike the Factory KTM riders are on, it is pretty much last year's KTM with a few minor differences. The KTM factory guys, every KTM in the main event was the Factory Edition Bike that is all new for this SX season.

With Osborne's broken thumb, I'd say don't expect to see as many Husky's on the podium ;anytime soon. But hey, at least Bowers is a "badass" and "refreshing" according to many over in the "Bowers being Bowers" thread.

Glad to see the Husky "brand" up there, but not quite time to say its a new bike on the market yet. Its a white KTM for now.

I was wondering the same thing. You may be onto it with the suspension.

Anderson (and Short to a lesser extent) were the only interesting things going on in that 450 race.

Jason selecting the 450 Husky and doing so well, even though it's just race 1, is great. Hoping he stays healthy when the series really heats up at Daytona.

OK, if it makes someone feel better, a Husqvarna is an older model KTM, but still made by KTM.

Grant Langston and KTM won the very next SX after he threw it away while leading and handed it to Preston. Dungey was the first to do it in the premiere class.

Yet both bikes feel different. A 2014 Husqvarna is not the same as a 2014 KTM.

IF Kawasaki bought Suzuki and repainted the KX250F as a yellow RMZ, would people be all stoked? WOW, Suzuki is back in the 250F class with a win!!!!! Awesome, I love Suzuki's! I hope Suzuki's keep doing well.

IT's fake. It's all fake. The die hard Husky guys are all dying inside. Was anyone happy when KTM bought Husaberg? Its insanity. I am going insane.

The bikes look different, because they are. The KTM's are Factory Edition and the Husqvarna's are just regular 2015's.

THANK YOU.

Just for fun, Kawasaki DID make the 2004, 2005 and 2006 RM-Z250's. (and RM65 and RM100) (besides Suzuki making KLX400, KLX400R, KLX125, KDX50)

Look at what Husqvarna was years ago (Dick Burleson / Mike Melton / Terry Cunningham / fine Swedish craftmanship mentioned in their ads / etc.) , then bought by Cagiva, BMW, now KTM, who's next to take a ride on old Bessie?

He would have, although with more race time I think he can only get better on the suzuki..
