Super Mario (Rinaldi) and Gio Sala did a test of the 2009 Husaberg FE450 in the June edition of motocrossdigital.
Get your wallet, this bike is revolutionary. Think bicycle with 50 hp! Woooohooo!!
Husaberg with Jocke Junggren won class SM2 of first round of SEC (Swedish Enduro Championship)
On 2nd place came Bjorne and 3rd was Anders Eriksson on BMW. Obviously both are on the new 09 prototype.
Hbg also won the JSM2 (Junior) class.
See photos on this link (Jocke no.1, Bjorne no. 6 and...
The 2009 Hbg will be raced this weekend in enduro use in Sweden by Jocke and Bjorne. Jocke has claimed (on his website) that the 450 handles like a 250.

Carlsson had another solid day (he's like a well oiled machine), Lundggren (after wiinning his class yesterday) was a bit down, and Salonen was up (woohoo), but they all got 4th in class on day 2 of the Canadian WEC.
Anybody know what the confinguration of the Team Husaberg enduro bikes are that displace 475 and 505cc's? Taffy posted an article by Jonty Edmunds on Marko Tarkalla's race bike, race built in Sweden. Funny Hbg drops the 470 and 501 (acutal displacement of 471 and 503), yet the race bikes that...
