    Word over at ADV Rider is that there will be a WEC team now called something like “BMW – Husqvarna”

    I could live with that.

    The shocking thing is that the rumours report this team is working on putting a BMW G450X motor into a Husky frame of sorts.

    Would that make a Bhumskyw? :silly:

    But then someone put up this image of a 2 wheeled “thing” with rear linkage suspension, NO PDS!

    I need to lie down for a while….

    Yep just like a BMW rider to have a lay down when the going gets tough….. :laugh:

    Makes perfect sense to me, huskies have always had handling at the top of their class, why not capitalise on that and build on the strengths on Husqvarnas expertise, and then draw in BMWs strength, reliable powerful engines.

    Ok Wiked have a Nanna nap and when you wake up it will all be clear……. ;)

    Be a pretty good bike eh?

    I wonder if the countershaft sprocket is on the swingarm pivot like the G450X?

    I liked the look of the Sherco 300 (even if it is a 4T) :laugh:

    The Husqabamwa :dry: still has Marzocchi suspenders,I thought they were going to Kayaba?

    I thought BMW were going to conquer the world enduros, Dakar, ISDE….
    And let the superior technology filter into the Husky camp…..

    See what happens when I have a nana nap :blush:
    Maybe I should switch to 4 legs >>>>

    There was talk of the race team making that adjustable ‘concentrically adjustable frame’ I think it was called.

    Personally I think the 2010 model will be the perfect bike.

    Dick is speaking now listen

    Dick says BMW cannot build a bike worth crap ask the Knighter nor can Husqvarna. Dick says the two together will be twice as big a heap of shit
