Husqvarna Motorcycle reviews

These are fantastic bikes for Hard Enduro or single track riding. I've had mine for 2 years now and have not had a single problem with it. Even though it has a headlight it is not a dual sport. A dual sport such as a 450l or DRZ 400 cannot hold a candle to these bikes in Hard Enduro or single track. Show less

I would not buy from Husqvarna again period. I have a 2023 Norden 901 and in the 1st 3 months it has been in the shop 30 days for heat radiating off the motor so bad it gave me heat blisters on my leg thru jeans and socks. It is un rideable in tennessee. I installed a Decat to make it run cooler and the dealer says its fine and will do nothing. I have $19,000 in a bike that if its above 70 degrees here I cant ride it. When I 1st got it home I was checking all fluids and adjusting thing and there was no radiator fluid in it at all. After searching forums a ton of people say the same thing about heat and loose clamps on the radiators and leaking. Show less

This dealer has advertises ent for bike they do not have. Last years model but when you call they state it was just sold. But they have this years model for more money. Sounds like a scam. They waited 24 hrs to contact me back on the bike then stated it was just sold. Do I want a newer mode? I tried to contact them 2 times in that 24 hrs. How conviene. Bike was a 2022 Husqvarna FE 501. And they still have it advertised. Show less

My only real worry about this bike is getting caught by the police for riding it in unauthorized areas, like forest preserves: my immediate area was a real stickler on that, at one time, back in the 80's: so far, no hassles from Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane. Handling, power are great, but on cold mornings, it can be a real workout to start: until you use the push button. The choke is not so effective: however, once the engine runs for at least 10 minutes, there's no problem starting it by kick or electric the rest of the day. The seat is very hard, and will never break in. I plan on either getting an "Air Hawk" seat pillow or a "seat concepts" complete seat. The only mods done were: rear "Tuff Lites" flexible turn signals (and are LED: stock are bulbs) and since one OEM rear turn signal plastic broke almost immediately (within first month of ownership) it only made sense to get flexible turn signals. The OEMs up front are, but they left the rears rigid, who knows why. This bike has held up great so far, and I usually have to get way out of town, to get into some wilderness riding, in so, having to ride approx. 60 miles from home, but that's OK, it can handle a steady 50 mph. I will probably get a couple less rear teeth, for that sprocket (should keep the rpms. a little lower). The seat height is not a problem, once you're on it (it will drop down, by a few inches, so as long as you're at least 5' 10" it shouldn't be a problem.) I'm looking forward to next season already! PS: one last thing: the wind has knocked it over many times, but this bike hasn't sustained any damage at all from it (always cover it up), so this thing is definitely pretty darn durable. Not even the plastic body panels have broken (yet!). Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase. Show less

This is a great Motocross bike. It turns better than a Suzuki. It's very stable at speed and exceptionally easy to start. Suspension-wise it's perfect for 190 lbs. Vet rider - just fine tune the clickers. This dealership was the best place to purchase the Husky as they don't charge the ridiculous fees that the dealers in my area charge. I had outstanding customer service from the entire dealership. I drove over 800 miles round trip plus the cost of a motel room and stilled saved over $1,600. In my honest opinion, you would be a fool to buy one anywhere else. Show less

This bike is easy to ride, very forgiving on the trails. The fuel injection is fun to ride. Everything about this bike is great and with a price tag under 8k. Show less

This is by far the funnest, fastest dirt bike I've ever owned. The fuel injection is spot on and the coaxial suspension means that the engine is putting power to the ground all the time. The suspension is firm but not harsh, the frame is stiff, the handling is great and the brakes are phenomenal. Husqvarna is coming back in a big way! Show less

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

I bought this bike used last year. It was never used. I couldn't pass it up. It did not run well at first. The dealer sent me the the proper needle and a little advice. I also put on the the auto decompreesion head from a dealer in Australia. Now I have a light, powerful bike that is a blast to ride. It's fit and finish are very good. A little on the loud side even after repacking. Huskys are becoming popular again around here and this bike is proof of their quality. I also own a KTM 400 EXC which is a good bike but much heavier!

I just got back into off-road motorcycles after being hit by a car while riding my 03 SV650S last summer. Suffered a severly broken right leg, broken jaw and a crack in the eye socket area, (while wearing a helmet). I decided that I cannot risk another injury like that so i am back to off-road riding. I am 48 years old, been riding since I was about 10 or so and just cannot give up bikes altogether. This is a beautiful bike, very high quality overall. Read many reviews on the Husqvarna's and they are always at the top. I got this one brand new with one (1) mile on it for $4700 cash including tax. Show less
