Boy, I haven't seen one of those Husabergs in a while. I've got an FX-600 that thumps all over everything else out there (2 or 4 stroke). Even out ran my '04 KX-500 in Baja (15/45), although it did take about 1 mile to catch up and that was in 6th gear running 16/45 on the Husaberg. But that Husaberg FC550 pictured above is probably the best made CR/MX four stroke on the planet. Certainly the lightest. Too bad those Swedes can't keep parts (or sometimes bikes) available in North America. I really want to buy one of those, but I'm not going to make the same mistake twice. I'll nurse my 600 to the grave and probably move onto a KTM 550 or something similar. At any rate, I just jumped on my buddies '04 YZ450F last week and I have to say, I was impressed. They've come a long way with four strokes in the past 4 years. Good luck with the Honda. See you on the hills.
