The motor that burns twice as bright only burns half as long?

Husaberg motors are not immune from breakdown but at least they don't go kablamo like this.

I realize a Husaberg case might not have stopped that, but I'm amazed at the absolute garbage pot metal Japanese motors are made of. I've seen more than one with a broken case from just the chain coming off or a semi solid hit with a rock.
 
Piston broke - just like Friday night :roll:

Didn't Simon have pics a while back of one of his 'bergs with the entire front blown out of the engine?
