Title stolen from this thread.

I had my best season ever on the bikes this year, and decided it was time for an upgrade. I was pretty much done with the dualsport thing, so the KLX 250 was sitting, and as much as I liked the KDX 220, the new bike should be better at everything. So I sold them both and bought one of these

It looks so good, even my wife can't stop looking at it

It's a 2011 Husqvarna CR 125 with factory 150 big bore. Husqvarna was bought by Cagiva (think MV Agusta) in the 80's, and has been building some of the top woods and motocross bikes since. They are virtually unknown here in north America. The original owner bought it, upgraded the suspension, added a big tank for enduro use, then it sat in his garage until he traded it in on a bigger bike this year. It has less than a tank of gas through it. It was supposed to be my woods bike, but after a few hours on the motocross track yesterday, I think I might have a surplus RM 125 on my hands. I don't think I've ever ridden a better handling bike, and the motor is deceivingly fast. Only problem now, is that the season is over, and the weather is lousy. I can't wait for a few nice days to get some more time on it.

Nice! I was out looking at TE310s last week.

Didn't BMW own Husky by 2011? I want to say the Germans bought them from Cagiva around '08.

Either way, that's a purty machine.

Yes, BMW owns Husky now, but they're still built in Italy.
