Two bikes for one

[Junior]

So! I`m thinking about selling both my 450 & 250 and replace them with one duel sport/ single track bike. Being a husky guy I`d like to think about the TE 300. Are they exactly like the KTMs? Also what other bikes would be cool to look at? I`ve seen a Gas Gas or two that I like. Must be e-start and two stroke. With parts easy to find.


And I`m still dumb so I`ll need something that can pull my arms off!!!!!!!

I'm a Husky guy also. Other than a few changes ( rear subframe air box) the TE300 is a White KTM.

Wouldn't touch a GG, not with their current financials and parts "availability."

I really like the Sherco lineup, and keep playing with the idea of going from orange to blue, but right now, I'm really happy with my new, local OB dealer. I keep putting a bug in his ear to pick up Sherco, but I don't know if that will happen. Boom Boom can talk more about parts availability than I can, but all I've heard is good, and Clay is good to deal with.

Hard to go wrong with a 300 smoker and the "W" tranny. 1st is low for the ugly stuff and 6th can be geared to roll road at 50 mph without being into the power band. The newer KTM starters have improved a bunch over the early generations. For what you want to do and you still want to fly the Husky flag you should just pull the trigger and go ride the wheels off of it.

My 13 TE300 has been awesome. Runs great and is reliable. For now, the Husky's are still basically "KTM's" but they will go to a new "All Husky" motor in the near future supposedly. Add a Lectron and never touch jets again for any season or altitude! In 6th gear my TE300 will run up to 70mph easily without it sounding like it is wound up tight. 55mph cruising is effortless with that tranny. I'd call Harold and see what his price is OTD. I love this bike and plan to keep my 13 for a few more years. Parts are plentiful and yes, alot of parts are cross compatible from KTM to Husky, motor for sure. The other hot tip, get the high compression head and SX CDI, really wakes up the low to mid range and makes an already strong motor, that much stronger.
