http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/11/11...2012-Husqvarna-TE511-vs-2012-Beta-520-RS.aspx interesting. seems like a good test and that the husky is dead locked with the Beta seems like win to me. The Beta is highly regarded, costs more and much harder to get. The 449/511 continues to prove it is a great solid package.
The riders definitely didn't appear to be very comfortable in the video on the Husky. They are riding kinda slow and have that "cautious" look. Tires must really suck! Looks like it needs a suspension tweak too as it was really doing a pogo stick dance in the footage they used. Too bad. Sounds like they love the Beta and felt way more at home with it.
