Odd 1's the winner, it's a Czech made Praga 610....sort of a Hsaberg/Husky copy.

Haslebergs have issues, how good would a Czech copy of one be.

Tut tut tut!!! "older" Hassleburgs have issues, my 2012 TE250 is absolute gem of a bike and hasn't put a foot wrong, I have let as many people as possible ride it just to see what they say and their opinions are almost always the same as mine. Quite possibly the best, sweetest, linear 2t 250 enduro bike I've ever ridden!!  ;D

Cheers, Brendan

Going by everything else made in Czechoslovakia it'd be as solid as an anvil and bulletproof.

Wikipedia (aka Wonkypedia) Has a bit of History and some links on the Prada 2000>2003 motocycles. Shame they have ceased production as with Australia's current exchange rate Hmmmm.
I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

I don't know. I think it is a bit of a pity that a modern Husaberg is just a blue KTM. They used to be better than KTM even if not as reliable. The world needs more variety not less.
