I ride a 94 Husky 360WXE, the same as the new WR. Mine has Showa suspension and very slightly different linkage on the rear. Mine has been updated with porting that is similar to the later model bikes (more agressive).
Anyway, I love my bike and feel it is the best motorcycle I have ever owned ((I've had 36). I had to do a number of things to get my bike perfect though. Most annoying of all was the rock hard seat foam, which I replaced with aftermarket stuff. I also installed a Kehin PWK 39mm carb and fiber reeds. My suspension was set up for my weight and style by Pro Action.
The bike is a rock steady, high speed fire trail bike, and has slighlty slower steering geometry than a typical motocross bike. That does not make it slow cornering, just slightly less responsive. Actually it does very well on a motoctross track. It is fairly light and easy to toss around on the trail. The engine is tractable from idle on up and when in a technical situation the engine really shines. I find that the low end torque is perfect for tight trails and technical stuff. So much so that I installed 15/44 gearing for more top speed (102 in the dirt). It is quite a bit faster in a drag race than a YZ-F 400 Yamaha.
I have a dualsport kit on mine (just barely) and the stock 135W lighting coil drives a 85W and a 35W headlight together.
One of the issues I had with the bike is vibration, after a full day of riding it was killing me. The softer/taller seat foam and the Pro Taper bars fix the problem, big time. The bike is now very comfortable to ride all day.
Mine compares well to the KTM 380 EXC in power and overall performance, however the KTM is a better bike out of the box. The KTM 380 also has vibration, maybe just a little worse than the Husky.
See if you can get a deal on the Husky, if you can, it is a great bike.
