    Just read on the dreaded TT that Husky is possably building an 800 parallel twin, similar in looks to the SMS630 concept. No news if it is a rehash of the BMW motor or an all new motor in a Husky frame. Well I will welcome such a beastie to the range. Good on you Husky. Hope its true.

    I would love a husky to take on the beemer and the new Truimph. I just picked up a mint 1990 Honda Transalp has my dirt crusier. I still have my 08 te610 that is the best ds out there. I hope husky does not source bmw for all its motor needs. The new 250/310 and 630 are proof husky can do the job.

    i agree yet taking a current motor like the 800 twin which husky has nothing like and making a cool frame / bike around it makes a lot of sense. There is going to be a lot of cross breading, it was that way every time someone rescued husky again. Done right i see nothing but good products because of it.

    I have heard it will be bigger than 800cc but based on the Beemer twin.

    Holy shift, I dig it !!!

    Yes, obviously it’s a bad photochop schlep
    But this is exactly what I want them to start with
    This should be the starting point for something incredibly sexy and brutish to take on the KT950/990

    Man I’m incredibly exited about the future, maybe I won’t own a KTM after all :busted:

    Oh and Kelly I say 810 or 910 :lol:

    :thumbsup::thumbsup:

    That's a streetfighter/hooligan photochop. Nothing close to a Triumph tiger/cub or bmw gs style adventure bike. :excuseme:

    Edit: guess it could be kinda sms with the boingers but......

    Horrible photoshop of the current F650/F800GS, some of the plastics at the front weren't even redesigned just hidden by coloring. And it kind of makes me miss my GS.

    Now the other one, that is hot...
