You see al kind of bikes, Honda's, KTM,Yamaha's are the most .Then Suzuki, Kawasaki's or some Husaberg Husqvarna a loonsome Beta and Aprillia.
Tm is up north populer. In my hood its Ktm Suzuki honda first than Yamaha and kawasaki.

I was reading in Motocross Magazine, that Husqvarna is running a very strong campaign to sell more bikes in Europe and not push as hard in the States. Almost giving the US to the Japanese makers.

Got a mate who used to sell TMs, I only had a go on the 125 MX version but it had a fair bit of poke for a small engine.
The running gear was top class as well.

The problems have been with the exchange rates between Europe and the US and the Dollar has been too low to give good export value when selling to the US.

If I'm correct TM used to copy the KX gearbox and more special motorbike things.
Because the used to build only Kart engine's.

And for the "cheap" dollar some people import stuff from the us. Although the doller is rising
and is less intresting to do.

Husqvarna & TM are very beautifal bikes wich I would ride, but japanees bikes are build stronger.
