But I understand how light weight can be a benefit hey Mal, when you have to push it home :laugh:
Sorry mal it just came out, couldnt stop it :blush:

Maybe the fastest bike around the Grass track was also the heaviest, It was a consistency trial was it not? but if you had to do maybe a full days riding at same speeds in tight shitty hard going crap,I would take the two stroke every day.Love the four stroke on twin trails and more open stuff though. Two smokers are making a huge comeback and I think the Japs are making a big mistake as they will lose sales bigtime especialy with the new technology that is emerging,My opinion only

Rubbish, rubbish and rubbish. Pre 2008 KTMs, maybe some bikes, but way too general a statement.
Problem with the Huskies is trying to sell them when your done with them.

October 4, 2009 at 10:25 am #155197Wasting your time STM, he is to one eyed. I have been held up by the gasser at Wauchope and passed him twice that day in conditions that suit the lighter bike but hey what do I know :huh: Just give up
Shit I got roosted to when he got stuck in the bog hole and I slammed into his back wheel :laugh:
Hey if I was 85 kilos I would have a WR 250 F everyday of the week but that’s just me
Maybe we should just get back on topic eh? If its that important start a thread

Who said I was stuck :laugh:
Honestly, I do enjoy four stokes but I sold my WR450 to get back on something I could ride all day.The 450 just beat me up
A 250F in the tight stuff would be great ( I also have a KXF250)and know how quick and fun they can be. But 4 me a 2 stroke is where its at. You can lug them down to near zero revs and also have them screaming their tits off at the flick of the clutch.
If I was in the Market for a new 2 stroke then this bike would definatley be on the list.

It was a bit tounge in cheek Axel. I didn’t mean to offend any KTM riders. I actually had a KTM250 2 stroke for a month and it was a great bike to ride. I just don’t like the lookof KTMs and niether does my partner and that plays a big part in purchasing new bikes.Problem with the Huskies is trying to sell them when your done with them.[/quote]
No the problem is trying to get Husky to make a decision on warranty and fix a busted bike in a resonable time. Selling is a whole other issue.October 4, 2009 at 10:58 am #155208Anyway back on topic.
This a good price if you’re in the market for a two stroke.
