'06 SM610S First Impression

[Dave]

Pros

• Looks great!
• Awesome brakes!
• Smooth (for a thumper).
• Good power. It feels about the same as an LC4.
• Great suspension! I still haven't ridden it hard, but it feels perfect.

Cons (minor nitpicks)

• Stock mirrors (fixed).
• Emissions crap is ugly (will be fixed).
• Auto-retract sidestand (fixed).
• Separate key for the fuel tank.
• Already rattled a bolt off on the exhaust heat shield.
• Seat sucks.

I'll probably be faster on my 250.

Thanks for the review Dave. There are no dealers here in VA, what kind of deal did your dealer work out with you, and do you think he would ship?

He ships Huskys all over the country. He got two 610s in the first shipment, mine, and another one that was shipped to FL.

Not a lot of dealing going on a bike in high demand, but he will work with you to some extent.

[Latebraker]

Dude that's a sweet bike, taken it off any jumps yet?

[OMEGA]

First thing coming off is that maze of spaghetti

[FASTCHEF]

CONGRATULATION DAVE!!!!!!
Is'nt that thing sweet or what?
Sorry for the extra "spaghetti" plates you got with it(we don't have that emission crap here) and the bigger turn sign.
Your first impressions are just as my where when I first got the byke.
ps:-seat will softened with time
-I hope that red & white version is a photoshop,or I'm going out tO kill my dealer...IS HOWSOME
-If your tune-up icon on your digital instr. come up to early,dont panic....it happen on all the byke here...the just set it in hour end not in miles

Any question just ask,buddy;be glad to help

[Dave]

Thanks Chef!

It's a sweet machine.

The red & white photo came directly from Husky, it looks like it's a sure thing. Maybe you'll be able to swap out the plastics when they become available.

[FASTCHEF]

Yeah, it would be fun to play around with those colors

Almost forgot....here most of the byke seen to have the digital instr. cluster going blank once in a while...if that happen to you,just keep pressed the mode button(the lower left one) until it reset....
Again,congratulation..and I hope that it was worth waiting for

How many SM610s in Italy?

I think I saw that there are only 28 in the USA.

The only thing I've seen is the Leo Vince.

[OMEGA]

Thats fine, especially with a 60hp dyno graph to accompany it.
Who's the US distributor that can get one?

[OMEGA]

In looking at it again, I think it's a slip on end can.
