Git' er done. 8)

I'd have to talk them out of some add-on costs but it's do-able.

That's still a good deal, Doc.

Here's the official rebate for the WR300 from the Husky website.

2012 WR300 MSRP $6,999
Factory incentive: $1,250
Buy now for $5,749

Sounds like a good deal indeed. This dealership has a good reputation also.

Other small downsides are it's a 5 speed, not a 6, and I'm not sure about the desert tank/luggage rack situation. Or it's electrical system, if it has a lighting coil. I'll maybe ask on TT and if it sounds OK will fly up to Ellensberg with Roger and take it for a spin.

This is one of the reasons I can't spend $10,000++ on a KTM dirtbike. Look at what the same money buys in the streetbike world! 8O

I agree. Spending $10,000 on a dirt bike goes against all my sensibilities. :roll:

Looks like you found a great deal on a husky! I would jump on that.

That's a gorgeous bike! Love the pricing in the States, I'm jealous!

It goes against both of my sensibilities.

For me, riding either single or with Linda (a smallish gal) I would prefer that Connie to my Gold Wing. :wink:

The 'back story' on my owning the Wing is I had a Harley before I got married to my (ex)wife. She hated it and I loved it. She wanted something 'she could ride on too'. I sold the Harley and bought the Wing. She still wouldn't ride with me and resented that I liked to ride without her. Indeed she resented most things about me other than my paycheck but that's a different story.

The bottom line is a Connie would suit my riding style better than the Wing, although the Wing is an amazing machine in its own right. But if a guy rides alone or with a small girl, the Connie may be better.

It doesn't suit all my needs but I may fly up and look at it with Roger next weekend. :wink:

Wild_Alaskan · 02-22-2013, 12:50 PM

If you buy it and don't like it I'll trade you my 450exc for it :P

FastDoc · 02-22-2013, 01:08 PM

I have received no replies to my post on TT asking about D/S'ing this bike

. I still don't know about its electrical system, instruments, kickstand, or general suitability for D/S. I may just call the dealer and see if he/she know's the product...

Wild_Alaskan · 02-22-2013, 01:38 PM

at the very bottom of this page it says it has a 12v electrical system

Thank you! It also appears to have lights already, and a kickstand. Those are plusses.
