So that puts pay to the Husky thumper lump in the Mito chassis then.

Oh well

Mind make good chainsaws and sewing machines too - have BMW got them as well?

Strangely Bill, Husaberg is Swedish for short service interval and KTM prices*!

looking on the bright side, a 1200 flat twin strimmer should speed things up a bit...

BMW Buy Husqvarna ? More than i would.Had a Supermoto'd TE 610 that started 1st kick  .  .  .  .  .  .  .After i'd spent 20 mins jumping up and down on the (left hand side) Kickstart.No matter what i did as a starting procedure/ritual,it NEVER fired up easily.I finally got fed up of getting the bugg&r started when my mates were 2 villages away,so had to ride like a bigger loon than normal to catch up.Sad how poor experiences,regardless of whether typical or isolated,colour long term judgements.
