Husky Tr650 Terra

[gsdman]

Hi,
as anyone seen one of these in the flesh or even better rode one?
Seems quite straight forward on the design front but is that a good thing or bad.
Comments please.

I have... well I have seen both, sat on both but only test ridden the Strada... very nice Dual Purpose bike although clearly NOT a real 'off roader'.. Should easily handle gravel and some of the smaller lanes when its dry ..Its much more powerful than the F650 that the engine comes from ( about 10 more BHP)..in fact it was so nice I bought a Terra and am picking it up Friday B)

The MCN compared it to its BMW equivalent last week and their verdict was that the Husky won.

Keep us posted on your opinions very interesting me thinks.
Its a bike that KTM should have built themselves possibly still may do! I think the right bike with those proportions would be a massive seller.

Thedoktr or however its spelled ...It appeared that he didnt like it because its not a proper traillie which is fair enough if it was being marketed as one...Sounded like his dad didnt expect it to be one and was quite happy...I know why I am buying one, and on paper at least it fits pretty well...time will tell if it does what I hope.....

I think you'll find it to be a cracking machine, Gedge.

Ah yes that was me , and sorry if I portrayed the bike in a negative light – I am sure it will be a cracking road bike and perfectly capable of some gently off-roading.

My issue was really that for the sake of about 50-quid Husky could have kind of tidied it up a bit and finished it off properly to make it look better and be more robust off-road, for example, a better designed rear brake pedal.
