Your thoughts on the New Honda CRF 450 L
Would you go Honda or KTM for a Dualsport?
Forum Discussion
I understand the KTM/Husky reliability/maintenance stigma, and I refused to
drink the "orange" coolaid. However, 12 months ago I bought a Husky 350 and
have been shocked by how good this machine is.
I came from a Honda 250->DRZ->WR250 but the Husky is in a totally different league. The suspension is sensational and safer, in that the bike will go
over stuff that I struggled with on the other bikes. The engine is just so
powerful and tons of grunt.
Reliability? so far 100%
Maintenance? no more than my Japanese bikes, oil, filters, brakes pads.
I think KTM/Husky has come a loooooooong way over the past 5 years. I still have
my WR250r, as it's a better dual-sport bike and more relaxing.
