Ok mate, you seem to be holding out on us???? Tell us what you know or other wise I'll have to send the boys around Kel
New info... 48mm Sachs forks (heard good things about these on the new GG) Ohlins Shock Radial mounted Brambo front brake 100hp plus motor Multi tuned muffler with exhaust valve (progressive opening)
Never heard of a Sachs forks ... but it would seem like a street bike fork would be 10x easier than a dirt bike fork ... 100HP engine would just be normal for a bike of this size? Aren't all the ~1000CC bikes well up there on HP? What is this 'multi tuned muffler with exhaust valve' (progressive opening) ?
Now! I hope they will make a 900 like a KTM 950 super enduro ??? I nearly put my hand in my pocket for one, but I couldn't forgive myself I did Kel
Because it is a 900.... Based on F800R BMW engine but bored (and stroked I think) to be just under 900cc. Dave
oh ok i must have misread, thought i seen it was a 798 or something didnt see the bored and stroked part
You read right...well...almost The BMW 800 (F/R or GS) engine is a Rotax sourced 798cc unit, which that in turn was given to the Husky engineers...to make sexy time too, you know? And those crazy Italians pumped it full of love man...boy did they pumped it long time...I mean they where boring the living bejesus out of it...and you wanna talk about stroking it? Ooohhhh.... So that is why it's all fat like now, with its 900cc... I'm kidding........but seriously...
I bet it rips and I'd love to have one for a weekend to put some smak-down on the knee-draggers out t here in local canyons (again). Maybe if I'm really nice Paul @ TCP 'll let me demo one (is a 72 hours blast in the canyons considered a demo?). You guys would not believe some of the motard ready roads I know out here in SloCal.
