[QUOTE="Rattletrap'83CR480, post: 506416, member: 20298"] It is coming close to the time when I will be in the market for a new bike (the old CR480R is in need of being put out to stud). I want to replace the CR :( with a big bore 4-stroke that is forgiving and will haul my fat carcass around with ease. These are the things that I must consider when looking at bikes: 1. My height - 6'4" (don't want a cramped bike) 2. Weight - 225 lbs. 3. Extremely bad knees (E start is a must) 4. Favorite riding areas are very hilly (the CR was unstopable on the vertical stuff) and trail riding. I can't race anymore, so the new bike won't need to be something that'll grab a holeshot and burn up the track. 5. Want a Euro bike! :Yeehaw: The three contenders are the aforementioned KTM, Husky and Husaberg thumpers. The problem is, I am aware of the KTM reputation and the robustness of their bikes, but Husqvarna and Husaberg are still a bit of a mystery to me. I rode Huskys in the 70's and loved 'em, but now that an Italian outfit owns them, I'm not sure of the quality. Husaberg, I know absolutely nothing about (why are the italians buying up the Swedish motorcycle manufacturers anyway?). If anyone has some comparisons about these machines, I would greatly appreciate hearing/reading them. The KTM I am looking at is the EXC525, so the other bikes should be of similar size (bore), etc. Thanks, RatTrap :thumb: [/QUOTE]
