KX 500 AF in the Super Tight Single Track
brooksie:
I have the feeling that the Husaberg name is on its death bed, a repeat of what happened to Beull.
KTM has withdrawn individual dealerships for Husaberg (here in Canada anyway), and given them to existing KTM dealers. I don't see how the Husaberg name can survive on the showroom floor next to KTM now the bikes are almost identical apart from the colour.
Husaberg has lost that "unique" brand recognition now. Yes, they are still very good bikes, albeit blue KTM's, but there is no longer anything ground breaking about them, which is what I think the true Husa owner was buying into previously. And if the name does disappear, used "blues" will not fair well for resale.
Again, just my .02c. Jeez, I'm spending a fortune! :lol:

If I ever decided to leave Team Green it would be for a Gas Gas EC250 or Husqvarna WR250. Both would be better than a KX500af for tight woods and technical riding and you wouldn't be on an orange bike! :-D
