How would you compare, say a KTM 250EXC 09 to the WR250 09?

**chop** · 11th January 2009, 14:46

i havnt ridden the 09 of either bike but as far as the 08 goes the husky has a much more aggressive power

What about in terms of quality etc?

Parts very expensive? WR's are electric start correct?

Wonder if we'll see sharper discounting on the 08s now?

cool, hopefully we'll get a local review before too long.

still looks very nice but quite pricey and didn't really get much of a rave in a couple of mini reviews in motocross digital but i'm targeting a 2010 model of something between 300-400cc so plenty of time yet (a rumored 390 husaberg would do me

Looking that way mate, superbike racing costs too much

If I didnt buy a gasser a few years ago, I would have looked at a husky. have had a sit on a few. go see Sarge from on here, and he will sort you with a husky.
