Title: 2014 Husqvarnas ( if they can be called that )
Post by: nathanstott on October 06, 2013, 02,19:39 AM
2014 Husqvarna model range was released today. I'm not that impressed if I wanted a KTM I'd go and buy one.  >:(

More husaberg I reckon.
They look awsome but.
And there not running the pds shock system anymore which is interesting.

But how will they ride Nathan , taking the best of three worlds and combining in one might be a good thing ..... Can't see you changing brands so your stuck by the look of it . But if agree being a fan of husky I think it's a sad picture cause it don't look like no husky no more .

PDS is on the 2T but your right looking at the running gear it's mostly berg but then every berg bit I buy comes in a ktm box so who bloody knows its says husqvarna so we will call it a husqvarna I guess.

Sure they look nice and are a tribute to the Swedish Huskys from 1983.

But it will take a bit more than a linkage to get me excited about the bikes.

Only the mini bikes have PDS, all the other bikes have the linkage, the same as KTM's XC-W range in the U.S so rear linkage on a KTM isn't that new

That has crossed my mind a few times since SP bought Husqvarna

But there are no 'vintage' Shercos! What will you do with your collection?

I'll rebadge them as Shercos!

Ha ha Looks like 90% Berg n 6% KTM and 4 % Husky.
The only thing Husky, looks like the Linkage !!

Look at the 2nd Last Photo, " I'm sure it Says KTM under the Footpeg !!!

90% Berg??? There is no such thing anymore. The bike you ride is 95% KTM!!!! and so is the bike in the pictures. There is no Husky in that bike, a couple of stickers and a new clutch cover does not make up 6% of a bike.
Husqvarna is dead and so is Husaberg, all we have is KTM's R&D department continuing to dress up KTM's and flog them off as something else.  >:(

This will be my 2014 Husky.

A 110th Anniversary TXC310, i will also try to get my hands on a new 449 before they are gone, and with the 2011 TE250 that i have, it will be a while before i ride a KTM.

Awesome looking bikes not sure about them being dearer than bergs since at the moment they are the cheapest bike in the Aussie market
