    The magazine quotes BMW Motorrad boss Hendrik von Kuenheim on page 7.
    http://www.dealer-world.com/page.php?p=idn

    "... our sales team completely underestimated demand for the new Nuda 900 model."

    "Rotax are tearing their hair out to find out a way to increase production of the parallel-twin engine ..."

    "It's a crucial pointer to where we have to take Husqvarna in the future as an agressive, youthful road bike brand."

    ""So next we launch the Strada single-cylinder road bike later this year, ... and then the Moab ... and then another twin-cylinder model."

    "But then we show we haven't forgotten Husqvarna's traditional roots, and the next three new models after that will all be offroad bikes, including one really, really radical one that's sure to get people talking."

    I don't brake the saving piggy yet, there might be some real nice bike there in the next 2 years.

    Not available in the US???

    That would be more overtime for the rotax guys when they do.

    Either that or EFI 2T ... Not much else is interesting ...

    And an appropriate 110 yr anniversary model?

    Again, they are talking a few years into the future ... The Husky brand is safe today :)

    So I can hang on to my 630 in the knowledge that there won´t be a new model until "... the next three years after the next two!". I still think that the MOAB and the Strada are aberrations.

    Don't know the answer to your question and if an aberration or not, of any type, if sells number go up on any model, expect to see more of it ...

    So I ran into the owner of my local Huskey dealer today. I asked him about this, and if he knew what the "other twin" after the Moab might be. He told me the "other twin" is a ADV bike. Think KTM990 not GS800. Makes sense to me.

    Oh yeah he also told me his new Nuda is more fun than a monkey on crack with a hand gun :)

    I hope so. I saw the new Honda VFR1200X in Cycle News and got a bad jones for a big Adv bike. The Euros will get the VFR1200X first, then in a year, I expect it will come to the US. Husky better get their new Adv bike here before then!
