Husaberg, what do you know about them?

[Barton72]

I don't know much really. Other than the fact that they are Swedish and an offshoot of KTM. I've got some interest on the R1 and when it sells I will almost definitely be buying a dual sport. Just checking out some possibilities.

Tell me what you know. Thanks.

The one I am looking at is an 08 450. Guess I need to do some research.

[Barton72]

And a buyer just picked it up. Oh well. On with the search.

Just called them. You are correct. Wonder why he doesn't take the add down? We should just keep calling until he does. LOL. The one I inquired on today was a 2008 FE450. That thing was sweet. As soon as he e-mailed me back to say a buyer had picked it up, the ad was gone off craigslist. Oh well.

Too much trouble...

YAMAHA!!

Actually mine was a KTM , very little difference in them though. Same motor, frames, wheels, different comsmetics is all.......Great bikes if you keep up with regular maintenece, will eat your wallet if you don't!

I wish ktm had that motor, they share parts but that motor and frame design is completely different, I should bold completely because they are nothing like any other bike

Hmmm.....I know the older ones were exact same as the LC4? Newer ones do look a tad different, anyways I'd still love one.

[MrBlah]

just a tad different ! LOL

I cant wait for more bikes to move the crankshaft like this, by centering it, it totally changes the handling, making a 450 4 stroke turn like a 250 two stroke
