Some riding buddies went to a demo day and rode both the 450 and 570 Husabergs and they said the power on the 450 was smooth. They really liked it. THey did say it might be a little much for the S. Ohio woods. Then they rode the 570 and said it was the most powerful motorcycle they ever threw a leg over. Absolutley rediculous. Too much for the woods, but for desert it might me awesome. I want a 570 in street sumo trim if it rips like that.
