So, after going for the famous allround- do it all motor, the 2014 KTM sxf 350, i decided it was time for going home.
After a history of 32 years in mx, enduro, rally's and riding all displacements between 125 two stroke and 570 fourstroke, i think i found the real kick.
Yes, the 350 is awesome, perfect, great for 98% of all riders. Just missing something...
Plan A: getting a 2019 fc450, tested, overthinking and ordered one 4 weeks ago. Next morning the phone rang: my friendly dealer: we do have a small problem, they are all sold out. What to do? Honda, Yam, even back to my old beloved Suzuki?

Then came plan B:












I think i'm happy now. Need some better weather...soon.

Is that an FE, I'm guessing? Nice bike.

The 350 is missing something... torque! Great choice with the Husky. If motocross bikes were affordable I’d be on a late model Husky 450.

Hands up if you thought that was a 125 when you opened the thread.

So there basically wasn't a problem in the first place.. and you got the exact same bike, but better. So instead of $10K spent, you add another $1200? Still to expensive. And yes it looked like 125 at first glance with Pastrana's ridiculous huge 2 stroke silencer from Des Nations.

You know , I'm a 2 stroke nut and really don't have anything against the 4 strokes , and I could see myself owning a 250 version of this bike one day. Those dang Rockstar Husky's look pretty damn sweet! Congrat's sir!
