Ne, der wird grad von mir in Sachen TXC510 gebrieft! :holy: Die hat übrigens für den Fall der Fälle nen Kicker an Bord.

@Worschti: ...Husky´s haben ein rotes Fell! Wenn das mal kein Wink mim Zaunpfahl ist...

Oh der "schoene" vom Bahnhof is auch wieder da..

Sorry musste aber jetzt sein...

[Worschti]

jo, jo

die Bekanntschaft zum Petzi hat mich schon viel Geld gekostet, denke da zB an die Pornofelgen usw...

auf der anderen Seite hat diese Bekanntschaft auch schon ein deutliches MEHR an Lebensqualität gebracht

im Endefeckt wars ein gutes Geschäft denn Lebensqualität ist unbezahlbar

wie war das noch mal mit der TXC...:taste1:

hmmm....bei den Gewichtsangaben von Husky......war schon öfters mal 2-8 kg geflunkert.....und schön ist was anderes........wir standen auf jeden Fall öfters und mussten warten bis die Husky wieder Betriebsbereit war...zum Abschluss hat sich der Arme noch ein Ästchen ,oberhalb vom Kühler ,eingefangen...der hat glatt den Tank durchschlagen

Das hat rein garnix mim Brenner zu tun, schließlich fahr ich ja auch KTM.

[ElRubio]

Weißt ja schon das der Menderes aus Langenfeld kommt.

Meine Töchter ärgern Ihn auch mal gerne.:evil:

Nicht nur die,
regelmäßiges Klingeln bei ihm, gehört zum täglichen Schulweg meines Sohnes

A host of updates, and an all-new 250. 2010, here we come.

HUSQVARNA is one of the world’s oldest motorcycle manufacturers yet the famous brand has been through the highs and lows in a volatile market over the last two decades but with BMW taking the reins in 2007 the future is looking bright for future ‘Husky’ owners.
What’s new? OK, let’s simplify things, for all of the 2010 models the plastics are stronger while radiator shrouds feature IPD (In-Mould Plastic Decoration), which basically means the colouring and graphics are no longer stickers on plastic, it’s in the plastic.

All models also get an upgraded chassis, rear suspension and new Kashima Coated KYB forks with new triple clamps.
All enduro models get a new rear guard equipped with an LED light and stronger number plate holder while all TE (4-stroke) models get the new headlight, larger radiators, upgraded cooling system and a cooling fan, shorter swingarm and race-ready aluminium muffler.
The all new models are the TE and TC250, featuring an all new motor that is 22kg lighter than its predecessor, plus all of the above…you got all of that? Bottom line is that the BMW influence is obvious, the bikes look great and have so many improvements they just have to be better…


Two Strokes:

WR250/300: The WR250 and WR300 two-strokers were a blast; things that stand out include a cable operated clutch, rather than hydraulic. Both bikes go like a cut-cat (obviously the 300 is stronger throughout the rev range), they turn extremely well and thank god, the brakes work as good as any I have felt.

I really couldn’t criticise the suspension too much, both ends did what was asked throughout my time on the bikes. Obviously if I owned one I would do some mucking around with the settings but from bog stock I was impressed. Both bikes will sell for less that $11,000 RRP so they should be a hit for those of us who still like to smell the bikes we ride. Thumbs up and a big smile from Smarty.


Four Stroke enduro

TE250: My first ride of the day was on the all new TE250 around a snotty little motocross track. My first impression was how light it felt and how well it turned and stopped, I felt comfortable in both the sitting and standing positions.

Actually, the TE handled the jumps quite well, the track we were on had quite a few little table tops and doubles and I felt comfortable attacking the jumps. The motor had a little flat spot off the bottom that must have been sorted during the day because my second ride on the TE250 was on a nice grass track/mini enduro loop and the flat spot was no longer there, making the ride much better.

At $11,495 this much improved TE250 should sell well in the Australian market, everything works well, it can be plodded along or hammered, a nice trail bike or an enduro weapon, up to you really…

TE310: The 310 was all new last year and was a hit for many Husky owners. I wasn’t sure what to expect from a 310cc four stroke but the best way to describe this bike is that it would suit almost anyone – no matter how good or bad you ride or what you want to do.

I was just two laps into my first ride on the 310 when another rider came blasting by filling me in with a nice face full of loamy dirt. I spent the next three laps battling toe to toe with this other rider, bashing and smashing my way around the track and it wasn’t until I was riding off the track that I put my mind back on the bike I was riding and my immediate thought was…'hey, this 310 is great fun!'
To my mind, if you can just throw a bike around without trying to second guess its inadequacies you have a good bike under you. Nuff said…

TE450: I make no bones about the fact that I like high powered dirt bikes. The TE450 fits into that category. We all know by now that the best thing about the modern four stroke is the power spread is really broad, so they are all user friendly.

So I kinda knew the 450 motor was going to be fun, what I wanted to see is how the rest of the package worked around it. Well, after doing lap after lap on the 450 trying to get the bike to screw itself inside-out I came away really impressed.

It turns really well, even when I was braking very hard into corners I could still get it to the corner, no pushing or shoving to get it in, just lean it over and through you go. Suspension was again up to the task, brakes are great, all up, a bike almost anyone could enjoy riding as long as they have half a brain.

TE510: All of the above, I mean really, other than the extra flywheel effect, the 510 felt similar to the 450 except when you pulled the throttle to the stops you could feel that extra grunt. It’s on a bike like this that the chassis design and the suspension components have to work together – on the 510, Husqvarna has it dialled. Open trails, grass tracking, desert stuff, this is the bees knees…


Four Stroke Motocross

TC250: The motor on the TC compared to the TE was a lot snappier and seemed to rev harder (that could have just been me being greedy). Great cornering, suspension and brakes. It's a package that should be competitive against the 250F market but only time will tell.

I rode the TC as hard as I could for about five laps and I didn’t even look like coming undone once, it was the best of all the bikes I rode in the tight corners with ruts. You could really smash the ruts, yet it was stable at speed, handled braking bumps with ease and jumped beautifully, a hit in my eyes.

TC450: I rode this bike with great interest. I have raced 450cc motocrossers for the last four or five seasons and tried to picture myself owning and racing the Husky 450. Well, the bottom line is this, I can’t see how the TC450 could possibly be a disadvantage. The motor is smooth and fast, like the rest of the bikes I rode that day it turns and brakes really well and with a bit of tuning for my weight the suspension would be spot on.




Summary

The hydraulic clutch on all of the bikes worked well. I have a tendency to ride the clutch a lot and there was no drag, slip or grabbing throughout the day, even on the cable clutched bikes. A little harder to pull but still no problems.
For me the ergos were something I only just thought about, there were no bumps or lumps between my legs that shouldn’t be there so moving around on and the general comfort of the 2010 Huskies were not an issue.

The Paul Feeney Group has dropped the price on all 2010 models bar one (CR125) so couple those savings with all of the improvements made I will be very surprised if the Husky dealers throughout Australia aren’t busier once the new models hit the showroom floors.
Do yourself a favour, go in and say hello to your local dealer and take a look at the new Husqvarnas, I have changed my mind regarding Husqvarna as a brand so whether you’re a fan or not, my advice is to give them a go.
