The Husky TE's have closer gearbox ratios than the KTM EXC-R's.motometal said:lots of fun on dirt roads/back roads/level B service roads
the Husky was mentioned above...don't overlook these. Cheaper than the KTM by a fair amount, at least last year when I checked into it they were. The TE450 is the more "race" oriented bike and the 610 is a little more street oriented but still off road-able.
