Ambassador of Strings & Wings
The review done by the Canadian rider, said he really liked the handling which is exceptional, engine is smooth enough in delivery to make a novice feel at ease, yet more than powerful enough to satisfy an expert. He says styling is fresh, unique and quite functional without experiencing any unpleasant fungal growth. He says if you like the styling enough to splurge, you won't be the least bit disappointed with it's performance. Price tag $13,399 Canadian.

seems small---- 692 cc's and 75 hp-----is NOT going to excite me I can assure you -- not even on a bad day---
Also looks short and nimble-- but UNCOMFORTABLE ---
single disc front brake??? (low budget)
seems a great toy for the young riders----- but at almost 14k ----- uhm-----young people will not apply -----
looks very nice though --- rolling art -----
I like Husky dirt bikes -- they make a fine product and I am certain it will be reliable---- but gives me ZERO "MAS "

Agree with your 75 HP comment, my 675 Street Triple Triumph had 109.
It's all about power to weight ratio, this brings me to your second "single disc" criticism.
One big Brembo can be more than enough on a light bike.

I guess----- it was NO WHERE NEAR ADEQUATE on my sportster-------- but it weighted more than a new Kia-- so.....
Tiger is 474 lbs and 125 hp--- a very nice comfortable number combo to me--- 2 front disc brakes
My SPeed Triple was 400 lbs--- and 165 hp (dynoed by the previous owner) as his "track bike" -- he rode to the track--- this bike TRIED to kill me several times --- but damn it was fun 2 Hiugh performance braided cable race spec front brakes (1 finger is all it took to do a "stoppie" -- if you used 3 you face planted on asphalt----
conversely my sportster (Ironically also with 1 disc brake front) 489 lbs and a WHOPPING 49 hp! (there are SCOOTER with more "f"ing HP-- hated that bike)
proof:
Harley-Davidson XLH 883 Sportster 1992 Motorcycle Photos and Specs
Ive owned dozens of bikes---- that sportster is the ONLY one I would NOT ever (never) buy again--- period
I would buy a BMW FUNDURO 650 (had one ) again before the Sportster------ I would ride a HONDA EXPRESS (had one in elementary school) before I bought a Harley Sportster---
Ill take the car--- before I ride a Sportster----
well that got ugly----here is a FUNNY STORY
last weeeknd I went on a Motorcycle run with many friends--- on all sorts of bikes---
TWO guys in the group are "die hard harley guys"
BOTH sat at my table --- here is a pic
the one at the END of the table Harley shirt and HAT on --- came in his SUBURBAN ---- because the Harley wasnt running (NOT MAKING THIS UP) the one with the Auburn hat waving-- had to--- no B.S.-- get the guy in the orange shirt talking to me (Alan who ALSO OWNS A TRIUMPH--Sprint) --to TAPE HIS TURN SIGNAL BACK ON HIS SOFTAIL--- because the BOLT RATTLED OFF ON THE RIDE to the DAMN restaurant!!!!!!!
30 other bikes -- triumphs HOndas yamahas BMW's Kawasakis---DUCATIS even! ---and a VINTAGE Kawasaki ---NOT A ONE needed TAPE to get it home --- not one----except the Harley
I know some of you guys love em----but you cant PAY me to ride one ----period
the Harley was parked beside me -- I had started my engine and was about to leave when the "dangling" turn signal was discovered --- its a 2015 ---- I just let the clutch out on MY OLD 05 Triumph and rode away............
