I wonder if Husqvarna has a dual sport on the drawing board ? It would be interesting to see what models they are planning in the future.
Anyone heard anything yet ?

Here are MCN’s predictions for the five future Huskys:
1. Stripped down naked 800, using BMW’s parallel-twin. Direct rival: MV’s new Brutale 675.
2. Stylish city commuter, using BMW’s 650cc single. Direct rival: Yamaha MT-03.
3. Big supermoto, using bored out F800 motor. Direct rival: Ducati Hypermotard.
4. Stylish flattracker, again using the F800 engine. Direct rival: none.
5. Adventure bike, using bored out F800 engine. Direct rival: Triumph Tiger 800.

That's the word on the street. I have a little writeup about it here: https://f800riders.org/forum/showthre...plete-Analysis It's something that's been around for a bit now: http://www.visordown.com/motorcycle-...ine/14589.html
I'd expect something to be announced at either Milan or EICMA this year.

on the best italian motorcycle magazine you can read that engine is developed by husqvarna and BMW technicians "some of them are from F1 BMW dpt."... terrible! certainly not a guarantee of reliability, given the results of BMW in F1.

thanks for the links Rob, there is not much information out there on the new bikes yet. I wonder what BMW will do now with their F800GS? Improve it for 2012-2013 ? It seems like they would have to upgrade the GS to stay competitive.

Those don't look like dual sport tires to me.
Looks like someone at BMW corporate decided the world needed an ugly R with a bigger engine.
Why? (I understand the bigger engine part. I want one of those too. ) I DON'T understand any of the rest. 
Maybe BMW should ban the practice of designing bikes during Octoberfest.

1000 miles a month is simply not enough fun with this bike.
So the job is going to have to go.
