Why not? I did it and am 98% satisfied with my choice. Only things I feel I'm missing out on are the traction control, map switch, ect... little things... Electric start is nice but even that is something I don't care for a whole lot (I'm a 250 guy so no button for them quite yet). When it comes to actual riding I prefer the Yamaha. Everyone is different and different bikes will better suit different people.

This guy is after a 450 with a mellow engine, the yz 450 engine is very fast, but a handful. The husky is mellow in comparison.

Did you do your research before that comment? The 18 is more smoother and broader this year which
Means it will be easier to ride . The tuning scope on this bike is great so you can mellow it down as much as you like to suit. Imo apart from the weight advantage and the brakes ,clutch and nice items they share with ktm I think the husky is hideous and reminds me of the white electric bike . There is on thing they don't talk about enough in bike reviews .
Reliability! I am moving back to blue after my 2nd 17 honda . Just my opinion of course.
