Something to think about here ? :O was about to buy one but then seen this :( KTM North America, Inc. does not offer too many data regarding the defect, as the investigation is still underway. Naturally, a notification schedule was not provided, either. Still, we've perused some of the NHTSA documents associated with this recall and we saw the name of Magneti Marelli mentioned there. An official letter from KTM North America reveals that the Husqvarna TR650 Terra and TR650 Strada machines have been manufactured with fuel management system components supplied by the Italian manufacturer. Given the fact that the affected motorcycles were manufactured from January 1, 2012, to December 31, 2013, we reckon that it will not be easy to track down production details. The former Husky owner, BMW Motorrad, sold the brand to one of the companies that belong to KTM CEO Stefan Pierer early in 2013, with these bikes apparently being manufactured in the middle of the transition period. Now, KTM, which owns Husqvarna, has to try to sort things out and find a quick solution to the problem. The same letter mentions that the Austrian manufacturer already contacted Magneti Marelli and BMW Motorrad to find out more about the bikes. NHTSA's papers only mention that "On affected motorcycles the engine could stall unexpectedly, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury, death and/or property damage." Also, the Administration adds that there is no identification of any warning that can occur, so basically, these bikes could simply stop functioning out of the blue. In the US, the population of affected 2013 Husqvarna TR650 Terra and TR650 Strada reaches 1,015 units, but given that these machines were sold worldwide, we can expect all the production in that period to experience the same fate. After Husqvarna was sold to KTM, the production of street models was stopped, and a new generation of road motorcycles was started, with the TR650 Terra/Strada not on the roster. The closest you get is, however, the uber-cool Husqvarna 701 Supermoto.
The little things like the radiator air pocket, stupid airfilter location and horrid rear swingarm killed the deal for me. Currently thinking of getting an XT660Z Tenere instead.
"Gayest most poorly mad bike ever" Did you just guess... Or did you do any actual research on this bike... Turns out they are pretty nice... Actually great! Reviewers seem to like them, maybe not the styling but the bike as a whole for the price is hard to beat. Referring to a bikes "gayness" exposes that you nothing about motorcycles
I have the 650 Strada. Best choice I made as a beginner biker. Riding with the k&n Filter
I REALLY need a Terra.
