Husqvarna Baja?

[unstuck]

Any body had anything to do with these bikes, are they available in NZ?? It is the first bike since my XR 600 that I have seen that I would buy from new, just from looking at it. But are they any good????

Was it ever put into production...?

[unstuck]

Not sure, I thought they were going to be released this year sometime?????

[pete-blen]

a few years ago they made a real hi-tec CR450 old school..
early 80s Husqavana look..tank/seat / guards etc..but it never seen
the light of day either...

Tis a shame in my opinion, I really like the 80,s styling. Mixed with late model technology is just ubber sexy to me.:yes:

I think I would remortgage my house to get me one of these huskys, if they actually get released that is. Funny, I thought they had for some reason.:Punk::Punk:

The Baja is a nice looking bit of kit, eh?

That makes some pretty grim reading....:shit:

It is a bit grim, but amongst that lot is this......

Radical meaning dumping everything and putting an end to the existing Husaberg and Husqvarna machines, and introducing a full range of truly NEW machines. And of course, this new generation of bikes should be the best things that can come out of the Husky, Husa and KTM mix, possibly some sort of ultra-bikes, if you get my point.

With no more street bikes to think of, the new Husqvarna will only be focused on the enduro and MX segments, and try to sell some sort of alternative to KTM... though the dough will end up in the same pocket.


This could include the baja??? Hope so, cos I really really like the look of that bike.:love:

Looks like it, some different bikes in there though, that engines a later version but the tank looks XL250/350. Not entirely sure about the frame...

[tri boy]

I'd say it is an NX650.:msn-wink:
With different seat,tank etc.

Looks alright in a "built for posing on dry sunny days and not for riding" kind of way

Any functional motorcyle had decent front and rear guards on it

Wouldnt be hard to put some on though, certainly wouldnt want to go out on a wet day like that anyway.:niceone:

It would be a much better bike with, dare I say it roady tyres . The knobs are just too much IMHO and a little posery, otherwise the flat tracker look works for me.

Indeed it is, the Domi is a popular bike for motard/flat tracker/scrambler customs.
