2009 Husaberg

[barkeater]

Since most of us here are motor tech junkies and Euro bike nuts... I thought I'd share the preliminary photos of the 2009 Husaberg.

Completely new engine with the cylinder angled some 70 degrees forward, almost "completely laying down". The motor / trans is stacked with the crank over the countershaft. Downdraft EFI, one piece radiator, perimiter frame, fuel tank under seat, protected exhaust header, few exposed lines, centered shock - not offset like the KTM and cassette style gearbox. Oh, the chain is finally on the correct side.

I’m waiting for info on how the 70 degree engine affects the CG. It must be balanced like a trials bike.
