Quoted from Mr. Scot Harden from the cafe husky site
The bike was 100% designed by the Italian team in Centrostile at the factory. There is no German influence. Testing has been ongoing for several months. The plastic is very close to the final design. The reason the photos were released is so that actual real world racing can begin. From a rider's perspective: The power is substantially better than the current G450X. The bike while about the same weight as a G450X feels much lighter. It is extremely easy to manouever around on. Straight line acceleration over uneven terrain is amazing. The test riders including Saliminen all turn their best lap times on this particular test motorcycle over any of the other bikes tested including KTM, Honda, BMW and our current TC/TE450. Vibration is almost zero. EFI is ridiculously correct. Altogether I was extremely impressed with the bike. Real world race testing should help with all the final settings before production begins. The factory has done a very thorough job in developing this bike. Scot (Harden)

The shock linkage is an upside-down first generation Uni-trak!!
I think i like the clutch on the crank, as it lessens the rotational inertia of the engine AND allows the engine to spin backward. Many people attributed the excellent handling of the MAICO to the fact that the engine spun backwards. Maybe these guys are on to something. In contrast to this Husky, MAICO kept the countershaft sprocket away from the swingarm pivot, their argument being that the pull of the chain forced the swingarm up, which transferred weight to the rear of the bike, which increased tractive force. We'll see how this works out. thanks for pointing that out. blitz |

Ya good looking machine...Not to thrilled with the one piece plastic though.
Unless the incorporate a break away back fender like on the GG Trials bikes. Hard to see from the pictures. Hope it works quite simple for sure. Ground clearance is huge. Love it. I heard the Husky engineers took the G450X head and found another 12 hp from reworking it. Loved to try one some day.
