:shocked:Thats the BMW 450 motor, with a big ol gunsite on the side, right up there on the official Husqvarna website. Not good. Who cares if its photo shop or not. It says Husky and its a BMW. That anwers that. Scary german superfuglyness. Sad, sad day.
yep! tuck that exhaust up under the fender and you got it. i would ride it looks like it would corner like a monster but i do like Naga's version too. if it says husqvarna on the side it has to be good right S
Yes, now you're getting some where. I agree with others that the exhaust would be better under the seat (with dual outlets), black frame, Ferrari red for a base color with some tasteful gold accents like the name and gunsight. That should do it. This is kinda fun, especially since Kelly and Ripper are doing most of the work.
EICMA would have been a great place to show off the all new Husky 450/510 motor. What new 450/510 motor? Exactly.
I wish Ducati would have bought Husqvarna. Imagine this with a Husqvarna 680 CC Desmo single and traction control (more like slide control)
Allot better --> If they only started with something like that I would have much more faith in them But instead now I think that Husqvarnas top executives are a bunch of loonytoons for letting the world see something like that and you Mr.K; your devotion to the brand is un questionable , spending all that time trying to make a pile of dog poo look like a nice chocolate bar You did a great job cup cake Problem is now it looks like what we already have only with shorter suspension and a BMW motor… Maybe if you keep tweaking it will have something to be proud of, got more free time cup cake?
MXA gave it a little press. http://motocrossactionmag.com/ME2/d...0&tier=3&nid=8CA3B2E755AC4D9587A44D5DEF827EA9
I wouldn't get too excited/worried about this. I think the idea of a concept at a show like this is to guage industry/customer reaction to various design elements, not necessarily the bike as a whole. The elements that receive positive feedback will possibly get incorporated into new models and elements (such as that headlight fairing - imo) can be re-worked or forgotten. It also may be an indication to the industry that BMW/Husky is trying to drive innovation or some such thing. Of course, I could be completely wrong on this and someone in BMW thinks they are a designer.
You would think that the mix of German engineering and Italian design would produce a reliable piece of artwork. But that thing is the opposite of art........Fart?
WOW, please BMW do not restyle the huskys, leave that to the Italians had Ducati bought husky we would be looking at styling like this!
I don't think these styling abominations are so much a German thing as a BMW thing. Recent BMW cars have been pretty butt-ugly too, while M-B, VW-Audi-Porsche have turned out handsome vehicles. But somebody in Bavaria apparently thinks they are a designer...
