why ktm instead of husqvarna?
Not sure if your talking Bikes here or not.
I have had both, both are good.
KTM advantage. much better resale value. Dealers are more astablished.
KTM disavantges. Cost more. The PSD shock system (no lever on shock to swing arm) can be a PITA to get perfect.
Husky Advantages. Most 2006 and newer Huskys are street legal! (barely, they did not loose anything dirt bike wise to get street legal). Cost less. I found parts cost less then KTM. I never had problems getting parts. If your riding in AMA events, Husky has a great pay back program. I know some 60+ year old guys that end up riding for free with the payback bucks.
Husky Disavantages. Low resale value. People confuse them with Huskys of the 90's when they went out of business the last time. Its a different company now.
I have had the following
KTM: (in order) 96 EXC/300, 98 EXC/300 (first PSD shock system) 2000 EXC/620
Husky: 2000 (left over, bought in 2003) TE-610, 2005 TE-250.
