[QUOTE="Wraith, post: 218147, member: 19201"] tri-mx'er, my son has the 01 Husky Sr. And he rides at the house with one of his friends whose dad went with the 01 or 02 (:think ) KTM Sr.Both of them race, and both end up right behind one another at the finish line. And it's never the same result. And both me and his dad can tell you in a normal moto, (never had the temp outside get over 95 though) the Husky and the the KTM LC (on the straights) were neck and neck and neither one would gain or lose ground. And both kids are around the same skill level since they ride with each other all the time. Me and this boys dad hooked up after meeting at the race track because neither kid had a buddie to play ride with (and that's what it's all about anyway, having fun) and I can tell you when these two are racing both don't let up, because they've banged the bars and everything else that happens in racing. I don't have anything negative to say about the KTM (other than it's price, as does his dad) and I don't have anything to say about the Husky. Oh wait a minute. I had 2 magnetos go out within the first 3 months. But were replaced free of charge by the Local Husky dealer that same day:) (thanxs Husky of Lebanon out of Mo). Other than that, I have had no problems with the bike. The bike could have some suspension settings, but I guess that is why I got it for $1,900. But it does have the front disk. Oh yeah, one other grip is that I didn't notice (when I bought it) that it does'nt come stock with a rear mudflap ($15 I think) and that it doesn't come with a foot rear brake. Only hand levers. One bad thing is that there are no aftermarket copanies (that I've found) that offer aftermarket exhaust or anything. But I am happy with the way it runs. It definantly won't hang with Cobras or Polinis, not due to motor, but mainly suspension. And there is no good shop manual avaliable. But if you ask me or Mike (the KTMs dad) the Husky is the best bang for the buck. Granted, we don't get to involved. We don't go to Ponca City or big amateur races. But we do go to the qualifing races for such events and race every local series, and the Husky is very competative. I could see where a water cooled bike could be effective. But our races here are only 5 laps long, and the motos are 1-2 hours in between another. So it's not much of a problem. Hope this helps. If not, tell me and I'll try to answer what questions on the Husky you might have [/QUOTE]
