2001 Husqvarna reviews

I have had the bike from new and it is still in working order, all parts are in good condition. I have fitted a complete new clutch last year and have replaced the gearbox this year due to jumping out of gear and the older gears were looking tired. It's still as powerful as ever at one point. We managed to squeeze 41 horsepower out of her with modifications. She still packs around 38 horsepower now with some worn factory parts being replaced with standard or aftermarket parts. I can't fault the bike. It's the second one I have owned and due to retiring from expert competion in 2004, I decided to keep the bike for fun riding and some amateur races now and again. I can hold my own and beat newer 4-stroke machines even though the bike and I are getting older. Show less

Owned for about a year, gets better every day! Might not have the acceleration or cubes of it's Japanese rivals, but it makes up for it in handling, ergo's, tractability and is far better to look at! If ridden (properly) superfast it will keep up with any other 400/450/525 etc. Show less

I have to say, this is a great bike. I have the same kind and year. It really hauls. I bought mine used and it felt like it was brand new. My dad just got the 2004 TC 450 Husqvarna, and he let me ride it. Holly cow that thing is fast. But the '01 Cr 125 is a really great bike. Show less

I have had the TE400 for about 4mths, prior my mount was a RMX250s. The transition from Japanese Dirtbikes to European was a little strange at first. I found the Husky to be quite hard to ride intially. The suspension took a while to get used too. After a month or so things started to fall into place. Now after riding the TE for almost 4months I would never go back to a Japanese enduro bike. The TE is the most tractable and best handling bike I have ever ridden! Even with the left hand kick start it only takes a short while to get used to. Overall the Husqvarna TE 400 is bloody awesome! Even though the big bore Japanese bikes have plenty of snot I can still manage to blitz my mates on the trust hellhusky! dano Show less

This is the best bike i have ever owned its super fast and stable Show less

This is not one of the best 125s, IT IS THE BEST 125!, if anyone is looking for acceleration, these bikes are the best, after any kind of turn it gets it's highest speed faster than any other honda or kawasaki I've ever ridden, for passing others racers in turns is the best, and I can prove it!. I own a 2001 CR 125 , and now I'm wining more races than with any other 125 I've ride. It's marzocchi suspension, the fast by ferracci racing kits, well... the whole thing is awsome, right now I'm planing to buy a 2003 new model. Show less

THESE MACHINES DO SUFFER FROM A VERY POOR PIPE AND SILENCER DESIGN WHICH KEEPS THIS BIKE AND THE 250 FROM THE 5 STAR RATING. A DEP IS THE FIRST CHOISE, SPES(NOW DOMA)WOULD BE SECOND. THE PRO-CIRCUIT IS OK, BUT HUGE GAINS WITH EITHER EURO PIPES. THE 2002 MOTOR IS STRONGER THE 01 AND BETTER SUSPENDED. FOR LOCAL INTER. RACING, THIS IS THE ONLY 125 I AM ABLE TO RIDE "STOCK". POINTERS-ADD 18-20MM OF 5WT IN EACH FORK LEG, RUN HIGH SPEED COMP. FULL OUT ON SHOCK, WITH EITHER EURO PIPES YOU CAN DROP CYL. WITH A .3mm BASE GSK(FROM HUSKY OR COMETIC), POLISH THE INTAKE BELL OF THE CARB, POLISH THE EXHAUST PORT, ADV. TIMING 2 DEGREES, AND RUN A BR8ES PLUG. THE BIKE BARKS TWICE AS GOOD AS ANY 125 ON THE MARKET WITHOUT LOOSING THE OVER REV A 125 NEEDS. IF INTERESTED IN ANY OTHER MODS, THERE ARE SOME BIG GAINS ELSEWHERE FOR THE 125 AND 250. PLEASE E-MAIL ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THESE "FERRARI OF MX" MACHINES. I HAVE BEEN BUILDING AND RACING THESE SINCE 99 AND EVERY YEAR THEY GET BETTER AND BETTER, BUT INFO IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THEM. THATS WHY ID LOVE TO SHARE MY EXPERIENCE OR PORT ONE FOR YOU. I AM THE ENGINE BUILDER FOR WWW.CYCLETECHRACING.COM PLEASE VISIT OUR SITE. RIDE SAFE AND ROCK ON! KEITH Show less

I've had my 2000 DKNY Husqvarna CR-125 for a year now. IT is the same bike that Steve Lamson raced in the 2002 season w/ the DKNY graphics on it. It is a light and high-revving Endo machine. Reason is that the handling is not like any Jap bike that I've owned - I have 6 bikes. However the sound and the looks are unmistakably European and up to now have not seen one like it anywhere. I haul it in my trailer with my other 2 bikes just so other Riders will approach and ask me what kind of bike it is, and also to meet babes - hehehe.

I have had my 2001 husky 125 CR for a little over 6 months. Its a great bike,it feels lighter then my 2000 honda 125 and faster in the mid to top.The suspension is exellent, if a little soft.I think this bike looks awsome and it is one of the most reliable motocrossers i have ever owned.The clutch is easy to pull with great modulation.And the brakes are great. If you ever get the chance,try one of these italian bikes out, I was very pleasently surprised.Im just sorry the magazines dont give husqvarna credit where credit is do. Show less
