    Based on the BMW650 engine, the bike is apparently almost ready for production.

    I'm not sure how to react.. based on the 30 minutes no one has commented... others may share that sentiment.

    Interesting... I mailed it out to the UK dealers earlier today and the response was very positive. This was a UK journalist comment on twitter too: 'This is so cool Milan Show: Husqvarna unveils all new MOAB concept Scrambler'

    I love it. It reminds me of an updated Triumph Scrambler.

    I just watched the vid and love it even more!!! This things is WAY cooler than the NUDA IMO.

    Something tells me this is a Scrambler version of the TE650.

    The Moab is an addition to the model range, not a replacement for anything...

    So this is not the new 650 dualsporty bike that is taking the place of the 630 line?

    If not, do you have any intel on what is going to be filling the void left by the loss of the 630?

    This is going to be coming to the US, right?

    Right??

    More news before the end of the year is as much as I can say.

    As for Moab being sold in US, I don't know - Husqvarna NA make that decision. You'd need to ask them...

    It's a concept bike... not an announcement of a new model.

    It's also fugly, IMO. Looks like a Fisher Price Toy. I wouldn't be caught dead riding one. However, it sounded great in the video.

    So...it's only a concept bike...but it sounds great in a video of it being ridden around...aren't concept bikes usually just a concept? Like, not able to be ridden?

    I like it a lot! It ain't no 610, that's for sure, but it looks like it would make my daily commute into SF much more fun that it is now on the SV650 :D

    I'm thinking with a name like Moab it would be aimed at a US crowd...or is that wishful thinking?

    Definitely a cool bike, just not sure where the ideally it would be used? I'm eminently unqualified to give any real input. I have not been on the bike scene for that much time..
