I see some similarities with the SDuke with the fact that both companies have dirt background, and this is their first street effort. Supposed to be a featherweight powered by a flat twin with top notch components. Wouldn't mind trying one once they're out.

Saw this the other day, I like it. Sumo style.

About 385lbs ... doesn't look like there's much more to shed....still around the same as the Duc.

Like to see one in person. We now have a Husky dealer in Quebec so it may happen one day.

Dont actually mind the look of it but that is almost the the equivalent of a new age naked Triumph, hate parallel twins.

+ they sound pi$$ed.

If it is the Beemer motor than the counter-balancer should do a good job of quelling the parallel twin vibes...
You can't beat the packaging benefits of the parallel twin, not a whole lot wider than a single and shorter lengthwise than the V. Torque is usually pretty good as well.

Isn't Husky now owner by BMW? Hence the motor?

Don't quote me on that though, just trying to remember something I heard a while back.

That looks cool.

Dont like the front fender or the fact the fuel filler is off centre tho. Cany imagine it "sounding" good though its a beemer.......
