    I currently have a spy(local Dealer), Whom has visited the Factory in Italy this week. He is there for another week & has just messaged me. I will speak to him when he gets back next week end. According to him, Husky will be 100% independent on its own & business as Usual. However he reckons Husky Will still have access to BMW Technology as well as KTM.

    I don't go there but I had to see :).
    I think the member is "Huskyrips" over there but I may be wrong, it happens lol. The thing is they'll say not him if its not. We can take the silence as I got it lol. I'm no expert but I do watch CSI

    I hope you are right, but I think the story might change once the merger is given the OK. Eventually SP will have to start sharing most of the parts if he is going to follow the VW blueprint. So I expect virtually all "Husky" bikes for 2014. 2015 and beyond will see merging tech and parts beyond the typical easy switch to WP suspension, etc.

    I'll go with this.
    Suffice it to say people have told me all sorts of stuff, much of which contradicts each other.

    I am going to sit back and focus on things I can control, like a mound of 'stuff to do' that has accumulated over the years.

    They are talking about small displacement street bikes for emerging markets, that has nothing to do with high end off road bikes.
