GUESS WHAT THIS IS...???



Check out these spy photos of the all-new, 2011 450 motocrosser from..............

A Husqvarna!

Believe it or not, these are spy photos of the new Husky 450 motocross bike, that Andrea Bartolini has been testing in recent times. It seems nothing has been kept from the old TC450 with plenty of fast parts, courtesy of BMW Motorrad.

Taking a quick look at the photos, this is what we can tell so far:

* It has a new frame, new swing arm, new plastics .

* It runs a different kind of linkage suspension.

* It's fuel injected.

* The tank is mounted under the seat.

* Looks to be electric start as the kickstart is missing.

* Akrapovic exhaust - unsure if that is standard?

* Looks like a hydraulic clutch.

* Brembo brakes.

* Co-axial countershaft/swingarm setup just like the BMW.

* The engine itself looks very, very familiar - BMW G 450 X variation maybe?

When or if it makes it to NZ shores, you better believe we are going to do everything we can to get a piece of the new TC450 - assuming that's what it's still called...
