I just sold my 04 R6 and I want a motard.
I'm looking at the Husqvarna SM450 and the DRZ400SM.
I know the suzuki is very reliable and beginner friendly but what about the Husqvarna?

THATS

 

yeah I'd prefer to get that maybe the 610 I've heard thats a better choice for daily riding.
but the closest dealers are in dalton and atlanta
I need some feedback on Husqys before I decide

 

THATS WHAT JOE BROWN HAD IT WAS NASTY

 

cool cool
now I got to find a good deal and get up to Georgia

 

U can find sick sick deals on the KTM SMR series--thing is a street chaos machine.

Here's my 560:

 

Get a KTm 450 smr there perfect for stunting. if not get a crf450 heres my ride!

rear sets..................(thanks 50stunt)
whole new subframe...(thanks 808metalcrafts)
1 oclock bar..............(thanks 808metalcrafts)
cut exhaust can.........(thanks 808metalcrafts)
reshapen plastics.......(thanks 808metalcrafts)
the whole subframe made from chromoly tubing







I know its time to clean my filter

 

I don't know if I want a KTM
but there are pretty good prices available

 

huskys are good all around bikes, one thing that great is that it already has all the lighting set up. Id go over to supermotojunkie bunch of guys have them there you would find out more about how relabile they are and all that ****

 

Hello!

We have 2006 DRZ400SM for Stunting, whit sprockets etc. Nice bike but not so "race"engines like Husq and others.
Also back suspension spring is too soft for stunting.
Here is couple photos of that bike:

Well now we get -06 450SX KTM for Stunt. Get new SM wheels and Brakes.
Also we do it new subframe:

Quit short...

What kind of sprockets you guys have 450/560 SM KTM`s ?

 

Stock sprockets on my 560SMR

 

Doing circles etc. on it?

 

Yeah thats what I liked about Husqy. The SM610 is made for daily use, so the maintenance is cake. I'm on supermotojunkie.com I just wanted to see what these guys thought of them.

Whatever I get I'm not stunting it all out, just some basic wheelies and hooliganism

 

Vortex 60 tooth sprocket

 

yeah 610 is made for the street and of course you can throw down wheelies everynow and then, it wll be a bit more heavy than the other bikes like the 450's but it wll still be great on the street.

I have a older KTm 620 its great on the street but its not the greatest for stunting bit heavy but its pretty nice to screw around on.



No side panels on it at that point, repainting and putting on new graphics.

 

Nice bike man--street killer--can't be as heavy as a full size sportbike though....

 

Ok and front?

How "sharp or smooth" is your bike throttle in that gearing?
Haven`t ride any miles yet in our 450.

 

its a lttle over 300 pounds

 

What front/rear sprockets you using on your DRZ?

 

first off dont buy a suzuki there heavy underpower turds, Huskys are great but ktms are better. I have owned all drz400,husky sm610,ktm 525sm, and a ktm 625smc the ktms are 10x's better then the rest parts are a little easier than husky, you can find a used 625 for around 4800 that will be perfect or a used 620sm for around 3500. if your looking to do alot of street riding stick with a 610 or 625 there made to handle steet riding better the 400's and 525 are more race oriented so they need more attention to the motor
