Speaking of Husky four strokes, the TE250 should be available before christmas, and the TE450 toward the end of Jan. Prices should not be much higher than Yamaha's 4 strokes.
Two strokes: the WR360 is supposed to have some serious upgrades this year while the WR250 and 125 only have minor updates from the 01 models.
Well, the GNCC races are wide open and the tracks are beat up. He probably is just tired of running events like that and wants to go back to real single track racing and his home. Plus Husky wants him there.
