Well let's see my 03' KTM came with excel rims, Magura brakes, twin air filter, Olins designed WP front forks & back suspension, Magura Bulg bars & controls& a Magura Hydraulic clutch & much more!

I know that the 2 stroke KTM also come with the Vforce reeds same as the Husky!

The Husky is a fine motocycle, but I have at least 4 KTM dealers that have most of the parts in stock! with in 50 miles. there is only one husky dealer & he dosen't even have a new 06' in the show room, He's also one of the 4 KTM dealers.

Yes I have ridden one of the new Husly 450's, I'll stick with my KTM thank you very much.the KTM fits my needs much better then the Husky would.

Would this be comming from the guy that rides a 125??? I've never been beat by a 250. And ive raced 450's and its pretty even.

As someone said earler if you want more than this one is better than that one post on ktm talk. Theres husky riders there, and each bike has its plus and minus. Some just outweigh the others.

Maybe you should grow up. This is an awesome forum. If you would like information its here. If you would like to bash on members, members bikes, and members rides go somewhere else.

I have a 2006 Husky TC250. I love the bike. It fits me perfect. It jsut depends who u are. Its supposed to have jsut as much power as the KTM250SX-F. But just mellower. And the Suspension is way better IMO on the Husky then a Jap. Bike. It feels way more plush then my friends 2006 CRF250R and mine isnt even dialed in and his is. So yea. Just Depends on who u are. I think we are goin to get a 2007 Husky TC450. After all the TC450 for 06 makes the most power for all the 450s out there. I think imma get one so i can ride both classes. Im satisfied with mine. Im not goin to bag other bikes cause its what ever u feel comfortable on. And after all its a freakin bike. Go out and Ride.

Oh and Ford = Founder Of Racing Development .... Yea im a ford person.

And dosnt KTM make Husky or Husky Make KTM. IM not sure. but i heard that somewhere.

Both KTM and husky are loaded with Parts so you really cant compare them. Like here

2006 Husky TC250 - Excel Rims, Magura Hydralic Clutch, Brembo Brakes, 260 mm front rotor, 240 full float rear rotor, 5 speed, Tomeselli 1 1/8" Bars, Full Titanium Arrow Pipe, Wide Foot Pegs, Shiver 45mm Forks, Ohlins Sock, Twin Air Filter, HoleShot Device, D.I.D. Gold Chain, Skid Plate, Adjustable Bar Risers, and Pirelli MT32 Tires (alot of people run them here so it was a plus to come stock with).

2006 KTM250SX-F - Excel Rims, Magura Hydralic Clutch, Brembo Brakes, 260 Floater Front Roater, 220mm Rear Rotor, 6 Speed, WP 48mm Forks, WP Shock, FMF Pipe (Im not for sure but i think FMF makes the KTM Pipes now), And thats all i know for the KTM, THeres way more but i havnt really looked into it.

Both are Awsome lookin bikes. I like the KTM alittle More cause i like the Black Forks and Rims and Frame. But i like the Red and White Look on the Huskys. Imma get blue rims for mine and run the Red white and Blue Look. But yea. We can all stop arguing now. Its all about even.

NO, not at all, neither...

Husqvarna was built in Sweden from 1905 until 1985 when, after being bought out by Cagiva, was totally moved to Italy. The leftover old tech was sold to Husaburg which, after making some modern updates them selves, and were brought to the US by the same distrubutor that brings in KTM from Austria. Back when Husqvarna was the biggest Euro bike in the US,, KTM as we know it didn't exist yet. KTM motorcycles from 1953 to 1968 were actually scooter and mopeds. In 1968 Pentons were designed here in the US but built for Penton by KTM in Austria. The frame came from an exsisting moped that KTM had made and squeezed a German Sachs 125cc motor in it along with top quality rims, good forks for suspension and the Great Magura levers. They were sold as KTMs in Europe and Pentons in the US. In 1979 KTM bought the US rights from John Penton, that is where KTM motorcycles, as we know them today, came from. Husqvarna and KTM have never been related in any way.
