They have always been in the streetbike market if we go many decades back in time.
I had a dual sport Husqvarna 99 TE 610e it was the first redesigned cagiva engine, she was very fast. Nice bike, I’d like one more dual sport.
One must look how long the husky engine will last on the street. There ugh tech short lived at least my new 99 te610e was. I’d never buy a kantoonhuska. The Ktm factory rep ask me to never buy a ktm product again.
Judging by the way my new ‘98 husky 250wr and my new ‘99 husky te610e both had problems. I couldn’t jet the 250 so it would run decent every day. Plus the availability of parts. The 610 had oil pump problems it wiped out the cam in the head. I should of purchased a Honda. Thank god I didn’t sell my left kicker old huskys they out lasted the newer huskys.
When buying these bikes read about when they need to be refreshed.
