I really like this new 310. I also love the fact that KTM has brought back the 6 speed tansmission on its 250 and 300 two strokes. It is refreshing to find a manufacturer that listens to its customer base. The E-start (on the two strokes) I could do without, but folks must have been asking for it.
So, I am going to go one further and begin asking for the manufacturers to bring back the 7 speed transmission (Hercules). Here in New England, tall road gears (while maintaining a good useable set of trail gears) makes life much more pleasant for those of us who never fell for the whole “Four Stroke Revolution”.

I think I (and most riders) might prefer a 350 over a 300 traily?

310 have been on the market for two years now and this is just II gen and whole new level again. Husky was one of the first who released open MX2 bike. Way to go and let’s hope Juha Salminen WEC E2 BMW/Husky wonder bike will be in production for 2011 already.

Nice to see Husky producing some different models. I always wanted one of the old red/chrome tank 70s air-cooled 2-strokes when I was a LOT younger. I later owned one of the white water-cooled Swedish bikes from the 80′s, which was a disappointment. They appeared to improve when the brand moved to Italy. Now that BMW owns them they are really starting to appeal to me again as a brand. The light, pretty little 4-stroke looks like a nice ride.

One look at KTM’s lineup, and the relative newcomer Husky (the new Husky) shows that the big 4 Japanese are now the ones falling behind. Where is the crf350r? The wr300 two-stroke. The starting gate in the Pacific northwest series is a sea of Orange.

Hey Bill I believe that’s forty-eight (48) pounds (lbs) for the engine.

Bill, where did you get 481 lbs? All I see is “13 pounds lighter…” Reading Tessier’s response was a waste of time that I’ll never get back, Damn.
Thanks Dirck(did I spell that right) for the new model info, much appreciated as are all the articles like these, keep ‘em coming!
