Please post up any information you believe to be "reliable" in this thread - I will let you determine what "reliable information" is - you may want to say where the information came from, etc to add credence to your information.

Lots and lots of people are looking to purchase Husqvarna bikes that may not be familiar with them - especially people new to the motorcycle world that think having a license plate on a dirt bike might be a handy thing to have.

"cagive is out.... that's right....no longer the distributor.... bye-bye. NewCo of NJ will be distributing the 08's. Dealers are signing their new sales agreements with NewCo as we speak."

GP motorcycles should see the first 08 husqvarnas in about 2 weeks. Word is that they arrived at cagiva already.

ADB article on the 2008 TE450
http://www.thumperta...899#post5738899

I received some information from my dealer regarding the USA TE models.  They will arrive with a catalyzed exhaust.  A performance kit (O2 sensor eliminator, performance muffler, new side number plate) will be available maybe in February for $250.

I got an email from my dealer telling me my '08 TE450 might be in by the end of next week.

I just received word from Hall's (Springfield, ILL) that my "08" TE 250 could possibly be ready for pick up next weekend (19th-21st) .  Pretty excited about the bike, have been a 2 stroke pumpkin rider for the last several years and have not had a Husky since the early 90's.  Can't wait!

we are hearing the TE's will be in here in Ontario next week as well.

Went to a dealer shopping for a 08 TE610 and wanted to give it a bit more grunt.
Was quoted  $1900.00aus for full Akro System, $1400.00aus for full Barret system + mapping.

However, after talking to another dealer, I was advised that 08 EFI 610's come from Italy with additional "race pipe" in the crate. Apparently 5-6 hp gain. And the'll fit & map for free!

"But. SSSHHHHH. No ones supposed to know".

Guess which dealer I'm buying the bike from?

450's and 510's also come with the Arrow pipe kit. Has the fuel map plug and O2 sensor plug as well. Schweet!
