yeah i got a te610. local dealership only seemed interested in selling me a bmw (if i had $10k, maybe). lots of changes on the new model look great. if you look around enough, there are already aftermarket parts for the 2008.
hey 5thgear, when is the arrival date for my new bike? i need an excuse to come to richmond and give you another schwack of cash.

How does the new TE 610 perform on the street? What is the top speed, and can it cruise at highway speeds? I live in whitehorse YT and I have a choice between a KLR, DR650, DRZ400, and a TE 610. From my house, I travel around 10 km on dirt roads before I hit pavement. I want to do long trips, such as touring the dempster highway in the summer. I'm pretty sure a KLR will suit this purpose fine, but I was wonding if a te 610 would be just as good. Should I get the KLR?

yo dw here to let you know what i think. the klr is a good beast but old school, the te 610 is a perfect bike in my eyes.the te is thin like a razor,300lbs close to 60 hp.handles like a dream on the road. it gets blown around on the road a little bit but cruises at 125 to 135 kph like nothing. 180 kph top end 6 speed wide ratio trans .now off road your on a race bike hauls ass and holds a great line.360 watts of charging system, heated vest dual baja head light system and a gps and still charging 14.5volts back to the battery. what year are you looking at i have an o8. lets talk. for the money best bike best buy on the market.

Thanks for the info. It turns out the honda dealer up here doesn't sell husqvarna bikes, just thier outdoor products. So getting a TE is out of the question. Thanks for the help anyway.

Looking at getting a husky for on/off road.I checked out the Husky on the web site. I read that the TE510 is street legal, yet I see noturn signalson it on the web site. Can anyone help me out on this one? I know the TE 610 is.

they don't show any mirrors either. i think it is just for the photo shoot that they take the stuff off. if you're interested you should talk to bill at 5thgear in richmond
