Husqvarna Dirt Bikes Forum

Even Jimmy Liked it!


 

It looks alright. I dont think I would buy it though. Just because of I dont know much about them, havent ridden on, nor do I know where a Husky dealer is.

Ive heard of MotoXotica before. Its not that far away. Neither is Good times Kawa. Auburn is like 25 mins.

I still wouldnt spring out and buy one tho. Last weekend riding, when me and my bro were on our 50's we stopped and were talking to these two guys on husky two strokes. He mentioned MotoXotica.  

to much carbon...id be afraid to drive it so i don't brake it and end up replacing a hundred dollar # plate  

thanks twist for the awesome pic

The TXC is a real SWEET bike. 6 speed trans, in a 250f.

It has desert written all over it.  
To be old and wise, you first must be young and stupid.

From my experience with trail riding, almost 20 years worth, I usually would just choose from the common makers like Honda and Suzuki because there easy to get parts for.  But about 2 years ago I saw my first Husqvarna and that was a used 2004 TC450.  I bought it the very next day!

I was completely blown away at the design and ergonomics of the bike.  The whole bike look like it was custom made with exhaust that looked like it was hand made.  

This was the first motocross bike that I had ever seen with an electric starter and hydraulic clutch.  Every piece serves a purpose and you can tell that simplicity was the main idea in the design.  

1/2 turn of a quick-release bolt and off comes the seat.  Remove one bolt in the center of the gas tank and off comes the tank exposing the spark plug and valves for easy access.  It takes no longer than 5 minutes and your ready to check your valve clearances.  

On a Honda, it will take you about 1 1/2 hours just to get to the valves. Honda has got phony and complicated designs like their heat shield over their header exhaust for those who ride with shorts and tennis shoes (the public market), which isn't needed if wearing riding boots.

Yes I will admit difficulties in finding parts but I do know things will get better.  One thing I have done is built a web site called www.HusqvarnaOutlet.com.  I built this site for the sole purpose of stimulating World-Wide trade of Husqvarna motorcycles, parts, resources, information, and more.  

Best of all, BMW just bought the Husqvarna motorcycle company back in 2007.  Also, Husqvarna just hired the the famous enduro rider Scott Summers to run the newest factory race team to race in the GNCC series this spring (2008).  

Don't give up on Husqvarna just yet.  You might see one doing a 6th gear wheelie past you in the near future!!
