I want one too. But I will not buy one. They know it and will not put it to production!

chunk the air “wings”, get a round (functional) airbox on it, offer it in low or mid height sizes (hey, we’re not all dwarves), and put a regular head light on it, round but with the metal bar protector around it for protection and looks baja style. Oh, that silencer is gonna take a beating, tuck it in and make it outa something tough looking. The Oberbezzi designs was also dynomite!!!!

I actually prefer the Husky version to his design.

Steveski said: I don’t think this will cut it in the dirt other than a fire road… but it does look cool!

Crim replies: You obviously weren’t riding off road in the 60s or 70s!

they should have used Oberdan Bezzi’s design.

I love the 17/19 wheel combo, and the amount of wheel travel looks just about right (8-10″?) for a mellow dual sport bike. These two things should keep the seat height reasonable for those of us under 6′ tall. I do agree with Eric, though. A simple single chrome headlight would look much better than that fancy LED number plate thing.
BMW – Bring this bike to the US, and *I promise* I will buy one,… as long as it weighs under 300lbs…

I thought I was looking at the Moab. This is a nice looking bike. With these and the Nuda, HuskaBeemer has hit the ground running.

I would hope for two things, and this applies to all European bikes:
(1) Don’t get silly with the pricing.
(2) Get a decent dealer network and parts distribution network set up.

As it stands now, nobody can get these things unless one is a rich city boy.

Oh, and maybe a (3), Sell a stepladder with the Nuda.

Us old f@rts would line up in droves if they made this bike street legal! I would definitely consider this as my next dual-sport.
