Husky 125 4T

[gerbilofgondor]

So was looking at TXC250's and stumbled upon the 125 4t, the TE125. I personally loved my TTR125 and only got rid of it because suspension was beyond lacking. But been a full-sized bike, it seems like the perfect ladies/beginners potting around play bike. Has anyone ridden one?

Crap the bed Batman!, well done husky, look foward to a review

Didn't think there would be a market.

No market if no one knows about it. I would have got one ages ago if I had known, would have been an awesome bike to learn on. and people claim it goes 105km/h.... i doubt that at 12HP but who knows, I liked to think that my TTR was fast.

Sounds like an awful bike to learn on. Tall and no power.

Thats true, but for learners that are not 5'4 or below bikes such as the ttr's and klxs are a bit of a pain, tall bars can only make them so comfy and on any whooped out track, your going to be wanting to roll em cause suspension what suspension?

Admittedly the crf230 is an option, but she is a fat bitch and steering on her is truck like.

You only need as much power as you can use, no point getting someone on a 125 smoker or 250 if they, dont want to ride agressively, are scared of power, have little or no throttle control, or no or littl clutch control but just because they want the bigger wheels and seat height they got one.

. A 2T and someone with no clutch control or minimal and who grabs at the throttle is a beautiful thing to watch on you tube but apparently the screaming into a tree is not on some learners to do lists.

@ 117kg without fuel I think it is heavier than the TE250.

Not to mention the 930mm seat height. I immediately thought it could be an upgrade bike for the missus, get her off that horrible bloody crf150f, but no that thing is full size and she wouldn't go near it.

[gerbilofgondor]

Maybe I'm the whole market for this bike I like the seat height at 5'10. And its the less weight than the crf230 with better suspension. so I can settle with that....maybe the night shifts are going to my head.

A CRF230 would be a better option, as a 4 stroke 125 is going to be a bit gutless.

Agree.

How about a KTM Freeride?

I learnt on a drz250 (way too heavy), then on to a ktm 125 2t which I loved - a light weight bike is everything to me (which would be a concern with the husky at 117kg). I'm now on a freeride which is fantastic - under 100kgs and just great fun - super handling and great suspension.
