[QUOTE="weimedog, post: 1227012, member: 20655"] SFO there is one in my garage..but its not mine... I've had a short ride on a '07 and a fellow has an older Husky 125 wr (2004) and rides it here at my farm quite frequently. A couple of other folks last weekend had plenty of real experience with the 125's and gave me imperical data to solidify my impressions... The 2007 is an improvement over the older ones in my book. Better ergo's because of the new plastic. The chassis feels "right" but the suspension is setup a little soft for me...but (butt) thats to be expected..as I weigh more than I should. (For a reference my favorite handlers are my 2002 VOR with that newer style perimeter frame and (OMG!!) Suzuki RM250's.)(The husky doesn't have as "light" a steering feel as the RM but it sticks really well in the front end...a little more stable. Yamaha comes to mind. Definitly not like Husqvarna's of the 1999-2000 era that felt almost as goofy as KTM's..but in a different wierd way. Partly chassis and partly the new ergo's give better weight placement) If my friends 2004 125 is any indication, reliability is not an issue. That thing has a ton of hard time on it and hasn't missed a beat. From what I hear thats not uncommon. The WR125 is the best husky chassis for me..even better than the 250f. The NEW 2008's...TXC's are a different story. They are an improvement in the assessment of all that test rode them this weekend at my place. (Had them up here last weekend) Even over the 125 which has been the best handling husky for years. Actually a his & hers concept would work in my mind. There is enough (JUST enough) low end to pull a person thru our trails..and we have some hills and real nasty wash outs and gullys. The motor makes pretty good trail power mid range and up for the more aggressive types. They are actually really nice little machines...and those WR's aren't as "WR" as you might expect. I haven't riden the 2008 KTM's but the chassis KTM has sold for the last few years ..I don't care for even a little bit. I know they are supposed to be...all better. Thats an admission they were goofed up to begin with. But we've heard that for many years now. Some like them. I don't care for the way the front end feels. Like steering a wheel borrow to me. Anyway...if you get a test ride on a Husky and like them..you won't be dissapointed after you buy one is my bet. Actually the 2008 TXE's are supposed to be an inch shorter...I think they actually are..but you want a two stroke..like I do. [/QUOTE]
