They are a Sweedish bike I believe. I am going to be buying a dirt bike for me and my son here really soon. I am getting him a new CRF50 from Honda. I want a bike, but I definately do not want a new one. I am not going to race it, I just want something to ride in the dirt and the mud. I have seen two of these for sale and I think they are good deals. I was just wondering if anyone had an opinon on them, good or bad. Thanks for the help.

 

I don't know about there bikes,but they do really good lawnmower

 

I would say stay with honda yamaha kawasaki suzuki, or ktm. Parts are probably going to be cheaper and easier to come by.

Have you owned a dirt bike before? Whats your skill level?

 

Not sure about their motorcycles, but if they are half as good as their chainsaws, then that's the one I would get..............

 

Yep, they make some damn fine chainsaws.

 

huskys were a force to be reckoned with back inthe 80's. I have heard some good things about their new bikes. Parts are hard to find, but should be out there somewhere. They even had automatic Husky's back in the day. Overall an oddball bike, But that is why I got my KTM 4 years ago, no one had 'em.

 

like every one said they have good chainsaws and such.

i would not buy one; when i was in to racing an couple years ago and was working at a track they wernt that good and were almost not existent. like everyone said the parts would prob be a major issue also. my pick is yahama,homda,suzuki,kawasaki.

i am biust though from riding yamaha for 8 yrs. kawasakis are decent bikes and can be had for a reasonable price.

 

My friend that races enduro used to be sponsored by Husq. He said the bikes were nice and fast, but he had a hard time keeping them together during a race. He is now sponsored by Gas Gas, which is another nice bike.

 

ok the main difference is their 4 strokes. that's why most people don't ride them. they have awesome power and can fly but their also very heavy. You really only see them being used in enduro's becasue their built like tank and weight the same. How tall are you, have you ridden before, also I would suggest you wouldn't need more then a yz 125 made by yamaha or a cr125 made by Honda. I only ride these two bikes. If your a bigger guy and have pretty good riding skilss get a 250 but if you are just learning , then don't you could hurt your self very easily. Also their a a couple companies that have 200cc 4 strokes, their really fun becasue they ahve alot of tq and are bigger set. just depends, answer my questions and reply and I can tell you what bike will fit the best for your needs.

 

Up here in New England, ***EVERYONE*** rides KTM. All you see is orange. All you hear about is KTM this, KTM that. It's like a elite KTM-owner country-club atmosphere at the races.

Husky's aren't that popular in the woods racing scene here, but they're definitely great bikes. They're right on par with the rest of them. I haven't seen any break down out on the trails, but I distinctly remember getting my doors blown off by a few of them.

If you're looking for a trail bike I'd highly advise with one that's an 'enduro' EXC or some sort of other 'cross country' meaning name. The suspenion is plush, the gearing should be wide ratio, and it should have lights. The power output should be strong, but not overwhelming.

The MX bike are harsh, gearing is close ratio (first is tall in the nasty stuff, fifth can be short on looooong stretches or when looking to cruise), and they don't have lights. Power output is usually harsh, abrupt, and the motor is prone to stalling in all the wrong places.

I spend a ton of money getting my MX bike woods ready, and learning the above lesson.
