Husaberg will be selling its enduro two stroke line up in the USA in 2012.

I saw this news yesterday and meant to post it, but got sidetracked. I know a lot of guys don't like it, but I kind of dig the yellow frame. That color combo reminds me a lot of 80's Huskies.

Yeah, I saw that too. Those Husabergs are pretty darn sweet. To be honest, though, I'm kind of leaning toward a 2011-12 Service Honda cr250AF. That would be the ultimate sweet bike. The KTMs are nice, but the fenders hold me back (I know that's shallow, but oh well).

Cool,I like the Bergy colours.Husaberg has their own team withing KTM so I'm not sure if this model has any settings/parts that are slightly different from the KTM or just colours,regardless,still cool.More interesting is that  my local Berg dealer told me last year that the reason for the 2t Berg was that Berg dealers were complaining there was a demand for 2t's and they had nothing to sell.Quite a move for a company who's promo line was "Four Stroke Force"
When I bought my 99 KTM,all the mags complained about KTM's front fender design,as did most everyone else.I always liked it.It's interesting how the fenders of almost every other brand(except husky I think)have pretty much now duplicated it.
I'd rather a full bottle in front of me than a full frontal lobotomy.

Well crap, I thought they were completely origional builds, but they're KTMs in Berg skins, :/
If a pair of 2" brass balls isn't working, I doubt that the 3" model will make much difference.

I think the Husaberg 2T experiment has proven to be very profitable for KTM and I think future models will diverge more and more from their EXC origins.

Well they are not trying to duplicate them, simply using the same sleek modern style.

Oh,I see.They're not trying to duplicate them,just make them look the same  ;D
You're right maicoman,it's funny how it goes.I find it looks odd to see one of the old style slabby fenders now.
I think some are starting to go a little over the top -not for looks but just for number or sponsor placement.I was looking at a Husky rear fender at the races 2 wks ago and thought-how would you stick anything on that.It looked cool though.
