US version is 368 pounds ready to ride and hold 3 gallons. I bet you can drop 30 pounds with exhaust and taking stuff off like the rear fender extender and buddy pegs.
It's sweet looking Bike and it is less weight than a KLR, with more hp. Still, I would hate to drop it on the rocks.
So from this... to this... Man.....talk about Husqvarna engineers making lemonade from one big fat lemon
wowie and good eye ... Never saw that white nightmare before now or if I did, I woke up and don't remember ... ...That Husky looks like a 3x rated movie beside it ...Thanks for shedding more light for us non-bmw / only-dirtbike-riders eyes ... Who's gonna be the first to put knobbies on this red beast?
That's the dry weight. It's 408 fully fueled and ready to ride. Gas tank is 13.5l, or 3.57gallons. The bike weighs about 20lbs less than the BMW G650GS that it is based on. I think they're interesting bikes. I personally have no need for one, but I can see their appeal to others. I'd love to get a demo ride, or even better, a 3 day weekend demo to really test one out.
this says 368 lbs unladen weight, ready to ride for the US version (maybe no ABS and crap) And 3 gallons??? Also 60 torque at 5700 RPM and 105 mph
The differences and changes are huge. Inverted forks, different frame and swingarm, bodywork, wheels, brakes... nice job husky
Read the whole document... it's 400+lbs. It doesn't say unladen weight anywhere on that page. But if you review the entire document, you'll see that 368 is the dry weight. The US weight differences aren't 40lbs. They're more like 4lbs. Do the math. 13.5l is not 3.08 gallons. It's 3.566 gallons.
Are we looking at the same thing? the image i posted above says Unladen weight DIN road ready to the left of the weight and then 368.17 LBS US. all the other figures say about 400 pounbds so your probably right but thats what it says. Also clearly says 3 gallons US. but i would rather have 3.56 so I'll go with you on that
But i bet the quality of the travel is far better. Those spindly conventionals suck and many reports of people changing them out. Also several pictures of the lower part snapping off!!! Also think that bike had the problematic and little loved air shock. This bike seems like an upgrade regardless of length of travel. Also as this is not a real dirt bike lots of travel is not necessary.
Thats the bike i posted and thought would be the platform for this bike a year ago when rumors where flying about the new 650. They went after price point so that aluminum frame and swingarm got the axe. I think those were well over 10K
Just from the fuel capacity, you can see there are errors in that chart... From Page 6 of the release: I used bold to make referencing easier.
Ugly is a strong word, strangely different sounds better...(they're a family member now you know, like adoptive parents...) Maybe they have longer suspension because their rider's tend to load'em with everything plus the kitchen sink...you gotta account for the weighty squat
I like it, not gonna buy one, but I like it. Also looks like they fired the kickstand man and now have it right. Mine fell off for the third time the other day. Gonna try sch80 pipe next.
