| 2017 Husqvarna 701 Enduro |
Safari tanks for the Husky are still nowhere to be found event hough they were mounted in show bikes back when the bike was launched. The Huskys frame even has tabs for them which the KTM frame hasn't. If the tanks ever materialize there is even more going for the Husky over KTM. I predict the KTM 690 ER will phased out in two years.
EDIT
It seems that KTM 690 is the same as last year so for some reason KTM wants to direct the sales towards Husky.
This is interesting but I already think the KTM dealer network is thin. If you're a wrench, it may not be a big deal. But the Husqvarna dealer in my town isn't much more than a specialty superbike shop.
ReplyDeleteYou still have to be able to test and buy the motorcycle. The closest husky dealer is +2 hours away, and doesn't have the 701 in stock. I do my own work but i still want dealer support for parts. IF something needs to be replaced urgently i don't want to sit and pray the part is gonna be in the mail soon. I have 3 KTM dealers in a 1 hour radius. So my pick for a 2017 bike will be the 690.
DeleteVery true. Dealer network is both poor and a significant factor.
