Husqvarna has launched a new 650....

Mmmmmm........could this be the middle ground between the DR's and other 650 offeringsFrom closer to a XC?

From Motorcycle News
The Husqvarna TR650 Strada and TR650 Terra are two new models from Husqvarna which are expected in UK dealers around September/October.

They're essentially the same bike, with the Strada the more road-focussed of the two and the Terra more able to tackle off-road riding.

They're powered by the 652cc single-sylinder engine from the BMW G650GS, although power has been incresed from 47bhp to a claimed 58bhp.

There will also be a reduced power version for riders on a restricted licence, which will make 48bhp. The new restriction rules start in 2013.

The Strada will come with ABS as standard, following BMW adding ABS as standard to all their new models, while it will be an optional extra on the Terra.

And the new F 700 GS ? thats available in the UK - same motor as the F800 GS or the Husky?

I hope they have kept it on a diet and kept the weight down unlike some of their other bikes

The F700 is the twin pot motor as in the 650 twin.
