Well, unless you thought that KTM purchased Husaberg in a fit of compassion with only the thought of helping a competing brand out, this should really come as no surprise. It's why they bought the bike; to get the good stuff, and develop the not-so-good stuff to turn it into good stuff.
I predict they're going to take the left-hand kickstart next. It's so popular, and everyone who comes in contact with it absoulutely loves it.
