I'll pull my paragraph from the other thread.

Everything I have heard so far leads me to believe that with the fuel under your butt and all the motor mass between your calves, the bike should handle like a dream - even though it is more top heavy - the weight is in the right places as you sit on the bike. It supposedly corners like a corvette. Not to mention that large open area behind the front wheel where the smashy parts all used to be. It will be harder to flatten a header or rip off a cooling line on rocks and log crossings.


The Husaberg PDS is NOT the same as the KTM. It works. I suspect you will see KTM moving their line to the Husaberg set up in the near future. KTM has been using Husaberg to experiment with the fork settings for a few years now. The 550 and 450 Husabergs I rode all handled on par with my Gasser. IMO, the 'Berg is the 4 stroke equal to the 2 stroke Gas Gas.
