Not sure if this is good news or bad news..........

BMW sold Husky yesterday to KTM.

I had made up my mind to purchase a Terra 650, I was just researching how long it was going to take to get Tourtech panniers from Europe to the USA.

Tourtech doesn't sell the good stuff for the Husky in the USA, the fellow I have been e-mailing in Europe claims they can't keep up with production of the panniers for the Husky in Europe, so they won't be getting them in the US for awhile.

The nice thing about BMW being the owner was the parts were available for the bike at all the BMW parts warehouses in the US. KTM doesn't have the network that BMW has for parts.

Wonder if KTM did the purchase to get the BMW technology?

OK, we've got interest, but no destination. So let's throw one out there. How's Kitchen 64 sound to youse guys? (Ya'll, You'ins ... whatever your poison). Yea, it's a repeat, but it's close to 64 and has parking. 11:30?

Or does someone have a better idea?

SplitLanesLikeMOSES · 02-01-2013, 05:43 AM

People,

My father is selling his KLR 650. At the present moment this is all I know.............

It is the year before they changed body styles
It runs perfect
Low miles
New parts
New tires
When he bought it, he had Casey Cycle City in Newport News go through and flush, service ,and tune the whole bike.
He is asking $3,000.00
The bike is in Newport New, VA

I'll try and get some pics and more info later...........

Cool, that bike has been getting stellar reviews. It seems to be even better than the BMW F650GS that it's based from if you plan on doing more off-road in your dual-sporting. I sat on one at the show, it seemed really nice with a decent level of refinement, especially for a $6999

I'm good with Kitchen 64 at 11:30. I'll be wearing my Gerbings electrics.

skychs · 02-01-2013, 06:17 AM

Kitchen 64 works for me. I think the gun show is also going on at the raceway. Anyone interested?

Need input...I'm getting new panniers for the BIG GS...
Touratech or Jesse?

Downer · 02-01-2013, 07:04 AM

There was a lot of discussion the other day that it was an investment fund run by the CEO of KTM. If that is that case what is the relationship with KTM?

If you are interested in another name as a POC for Touratech PM me. The place Is in Momlingen.
