This street-legal big-bore supemoto bike has an EFI system with a 43mm throttle body developed in collaboration with Mikuni. Delivery is aided by an ECM that gets input from multiple sensors, including a closed-loop lambda sensor on the exhaust system, allowing the SM610R to meet current emissions requirements for all 50 states. Along with a new handlebar and updated plastic, the saddle was redesigned last year to improve comfort for both rider and passenger.

The TE610 was designed to be a fully capable off-roader while at the same time offering more creature comforts for riders who frequently will use it as an on-road machine-a distinct possibility, as this powerful heavyweight enduro is street-legal in all 50 states, giving it huge appeal for dual-sporters. The fuel-injection system was developed in conjunction with Mikuni, and the TE610 got a new cylinder head, an updated chassis and improved suspension pieces last year. Other nice features include a tapered Tommaselli handlebar and a lightweight exhaust system.

A former CW Ten Best winner, the 50-state street-legal TE510E enduro was given a few serious updates this year, including a frame that weighs 2.2 pounds less than last year’s. The TE has an electric starter but with kick-start backup because…well, you never know. The twin-cam engine underwent numerous updates one year ago, including the switch from a carburetor to EFI, Other features include wave-style brake rotors, updated bodywork, new graphics and a redesigned digital display. Also available: The TE450, the very same motorcycle but with 52cc less displacement

What if you yearn for more power than a 250 but don’t want to go as far as a 450? Husky has the answer in the new TE310 four-stroke enduro. Based on the TE250, the 310 gets its extra 60cc from a bore that’s been increased from 76 to 83mm. A high-performance exhaust system and wave brake rotors, along with fresh bodywork and graphics, make this bike a welcome new member of the enduro family. Like the rest of the TE family, the 310 is street-legal in all 50 states. Also available: The TE250, the very same bike but with less displacement. 

Husqvarna TXC510 / TXC450 / TXC250$7999/7699/6999

The TXC510 is designed specifically for the U.S. market and our unique cross-country racing series such as GNCC. It uses the same motor as the TC510 motocrosser, but with a six-speed transmission for the open nature of cross-country racing. Unlike the TE models, the TXC uses a carb instead of injection, and its engine tuning delivers a snappier hit than those in the TE line. A spark-arrestor-equipped exhaust, wave brake rotors, a sealed-cartridge fork and a Sachs shock are new for ‘09. Also available: The TXC450 and TXC250 are practically identical with the exception of their smaller displacements.

Like all the big-bore Singles in Husky’s lineup, the SM450R supermoto is fuel-injected by a Mikuni system that has a 42mm throttle body. It’s an electric-start bike, of course, but a kick lever is available as an option. The frame is lighter compared to last year’s, which helps improve handling. A Marzocchi fork and a Sachs shock nicely handle suspension duty, and they work via black anodized Excel rims mounted with street-legal rubber. Braking is via a Brembo radial-mount caliper and a large, 320mm rotor up front. Also available: The SM510R is the same bike as the 450 but is powered by the 501cc engine.

Thanks to companies like Husqvarna, the two-stroke enduro bike marches on, and we’re not talking about older models that haven’t been updated in years. The WR300 is a new-for- ‘09 model that is, in effect, a bored-out WR250, and both bikes have received significant engine and chassis updates that help make them some of the most refined two-strokes ever to hit the trail. Ensuring that the 300 delivers smooth, tractable power is an upgraded Mikuni carburetor, a V Force 3 reed-valve arrangement and a new exhaust system. A 50mm Marzocchi fork and Sachs shock provide excellent suspension action. Also available: The smaller-displacement WR250, the very same bike but with a 5.6mm-smaller bore.

Engine type: two-stroke Single
Displacement: 125cc
Bore x stroke: 54.0 x 54.5mm

Claimed dry weight: 2111b.

There is nothing quite as responsive for tight off-road riding as a two-stroke-powered machine. That’s why many riders still prefer them over the heavier four-strokes that are so popular these days. Gone from its lineup for a year, the WR125 returns this year in completely redesigned form. Virtually everything on the chassis is new, including the frame, swingarm, subframe and aluminum sidestand. A 50mm Marzocchi fork and Sachs shock with what Husky calls its “soft damp” suspension with a progressive curve are new for ‘09. Engine updates include the carburetor, reed valves and exhaust system.

Husqvarna TC510 / TC450$7699/7399

The Open class is no longer a part of profes¬sional motocross, but it s still included in some amateur and local series. The TC510 is Husky’s big-bore MXer, and it boasts numerous changes this year-some merely updates, others more substantial. The engine gets minor changes including a new titanium exhaust system, new lubrication system and gearchange linkage. A lighter frame, wave brake rotors and an upgraded Marzocchi fork with sealed cartridges improve suspension action. Also available: The TC450, the same chassis with a smaller engine.

Husqvarna TC250$6699
Engine type: tour-stroke Single
Bore x stroke: 79.0 x 50.9mm
Displacement: 250cc
Transmission speeds: 5
Front wheel travel: 11.8 in.

Claimed dry weight: 203 lb.

The Lites-class model in the Husqvarna motocross family is brand-new from the knobbies up for 2009. Al the heart of the 250 is a redesigned engine that is much more compact than ever before. With this diminutive engine comes a reduction in weight, as the mill only weighs 48 pounds. Four titanium radial valves are driven by twin overhead cams with a combined chain/gear drive. Lubrication is via a dry-sump system. A redesigned frame and chassis impart a slim and flickable feel, a lot of which is due to the bike’s claimed 203-pound dry weight. A 50mm sealed-cartridge Marzocchi fork and a Sachs shock mated to a new swingarm promise a well-controlled ride.

Husqvarna CR125$5799
Engine type: two-stroke Single
Displacement 125cc
Bore x stroke: 54.0 x 54.5mm
Transmission speeds. 6
Front wheel travel: 11.8 in.
Rear wheel travel: 12.8 in.
Fuel capacity: 2.5 gal.
Seat height: 38.0 in.
Front brake: disc
Rear brake: disc
Claimed dry weight: 1981b.

The CR125 is the only remaining two-stroke motocross bike in Husqvarna’s entire lineup. Facing the ever-tightening stranglehold of 250cc four-strokes in the Lites class, the CR125 remains a viable option for young motocross riders trying to hone their riding skills. But don’t think of the CR as a forgotten, undeveloped leftover model. To the contrary, its frame, subframe, steering geometry, suspension and swingarm all have been improved for ‘09. New wave brake discs and black Excel wheels are a nice touch. Engine updates include a new carb, reed block and exhaust system.
