Here's the new girl. Thing feels like my mountain bike.

 

This is why i ask lol

Thanks for putting up with all my stupid questions everybody

 

How do you like Husaberg? Ive never heard of them

 

Ohh this bike is a Husqvarna. But basically the same thing as the husabergs before it. I do have a Husaberg FE570S that il trying to sellfreakin love that bike but it's just too much power. The 350 though is amazing. It has decent low end power which surprised me and it pulls hard all the way to redline. Plus the 350 feels so much lighter it not even funny.

 

Would.

 

I saw this and thought a 650 supermoto... But i didn't recognize the name, so i passed

Would be a cool bike. But I'd never buy one because parts are going to be rare. I'll stick with KTM (newer Husqvarnas), Honda, Yamaha, or Suzuki.

 

Safety third!

 

KTM bought Husaberg in '95, and 03+ are all made in Mattighoffen along side KTM's. That's where the "ready to race" thing came from. Parts are available at any KTM dealer, and many are interchangeable with their orange brothers.

 

Username is right. I haven't yet for my husqvarna but I've bought numerous replacement parts through my local Ktm dealer for my husaberg. Since a lot of parts enterchange and the part numbers are from KTM, any KTM dealer should be able to order the parts. Or you can just order them from an online retailer and have it ship to your house.

 

So husaberg, husqvarna, and ktm are all the same thing pretty much?

 

Yup.

 

I've been riding bikes for about 11 years, mostly on the track. Had my first kid about 4 years ago and sold everything. I'm planning to get back into it although I want to get a new 2016 Taco first. I dabbled in supermoto as well which was a ton of fun. I had a Husky 510SMR and then a CRF450.

 

Interesting, didn't know that. Apparently the people I've talked to that have Husaberg's and older Husqvarna's don't know that either haha

 

Yep, I used to work at a Husaberg dealership, definitely compatible with KTM. We entered a couple supermoto races with the FS570's, they rip!

 

@TheMuffinMan do you know anything about the ktm 200s? My dad all of a sudden started looking for one since I got my cr125 lol.

 

They are sweet. The XC-W has a wide ratio 6 speed trans and will smoke most 450's in the open desert with a light rider. The EXC is more on par with your 125, mx style gearing (still 6 speeds). Light, fast, and fun. I'd opt for the 300 personally, but I'm fat and like to climb hills.
