Sweet looking bike! The motor and everything else seems to be quite trick. Glad to see Husq moving forward despite several corporate ownerships over the past couple of decades.
Thanks for the links Goran! :thumb:

saw a link on thumper talk by jimmy lewis to a test of this at the worlds launch.
all i can really recall is that they were complaining about the weigh.
found it now;

Did you mean TBM magazine? If so, yes it was a bit of a mixed review wasn't it?cypher said:
I've been interested because the TE449 would have been the logical next bike for me as I had a 2010 TE450, but they screwed up the marketing quite badly IMHO and I got fed up of waiting around to find out what the actual specification was going to be (e.g. the US distributor insisted he was told on the distributor launch a while back that it would have 5 gears while the UK distributor was told at the same launch that it would have 6). Then someone (a Husky dealer IIRC and certainly big fan) mentioned on the Husky forum that if he could only have one bike it would be the FE390 which got me thinking, and now here I am with an FE450 so Husky lost an almost certain sale of one of the new TE449s (I'd actually tried to put a deposit down at one point but they wouldn't take it as it was too early).
I wouldn't regret getting the FE anyway as it's a great bike and the engine is insanely good (still makes me giggle), but I guess seeing some ambiguous reviews of the TE449 means I won't start wondering if I did the right thing. Then again, I don't think anyone's had a chance to ride the new TE for a decent length of time yet and mess around with setting it up properly to suit them, so there might be some better reviews ahead when that happens. I think it does have some nice touches and it's good to see Husky trying out new things, so I hope it does well.
Check out this link from Dirt Bike Magazine. Ron Lawson fairly complimentary about the new Husky's.
