That's hot! Just curious, are Husaberg and BMW corporate "cousins?" Just from the pics it looks like it shares some of the same tech BMW introduced with this... (the forward canted engine and swingarm pivot point).

No. KTM owns Husaberg. And the Husaberg was out long before the BMW. Also, the Husaberg gets rave reviews while the BMW gets "what were they thinking?".

BMW owns Husqvarna. They currently don't have any plans to share technology between the Huskies and the BMW G450 series, which I think is pretty stupid. Oh well.
