88 Cagiva I mean Husqvarna WRK 125

Although my YZEE 125 was a pretty good tool, (Conondale circa 1988 A4DE) but I always coveted the Husky.

I had an 84 Husky WR 125 and cant remember ever finishing a race , but that may have been more to do with me than the bike. It did handle rough tracks far better than the jap stuff but it was also dam slow. I did love the KTM's of the era and had some success with them.

For me it has to be absolutely reliable. No matter how fast it goes (with-in reason) or how well it handles (with-in reason) it's no good to anyone sitting beside a trail with the clock ticking.
XR200 it is then. :o

XR200's are not as relieble as everyone thinks. Slipping kickstarters are a pain, cam chains wear out quick, rings don't last long and inlet valves wear. However thats mainly on bikes that get ridden hard ::)

Buy what Colour you like  ;)  I have not ridden the SMW 175 but I would like to. No one here seems to own a Husky 175?  I'm building an XR 200 for Vinduro with a bit of twist. I know its not fast but I laugh and smile every time I ride one.

I have a 75/76 Husky GP 175.

When I get all the bits and pieces and HuskyPete finishes tweaking it , I think it will be a rocket.

Hey Shoey what was the Husky 175? I never understand why they and KTM dropped the 175.
