Why isn't anyone asking what we are getting instead?
I worship our MZ's but safety dictates...

Guesses?

Bueler?
anyone?

the replacements :portland Or lurker:FS 2skorps&spares 3500.

We may have stumbled on the new "MZ" ie.the up to date perfectly balanced simple single cylinder light but road worthy (no road sofas, "ST"anything's or ... Vetec complexity)
that are disappearing forever as "new on show room bikes" just as i watched the last leftover skorps disappear (with little regard at the time) at the ducati shop where i was salivating over new st4s's (a 99 ST$ in the end).

back to now: While shopping at a husky shop for a replacement 250 dual sport i notice in the back of the Brochure for the 2013 Terra, a second model named the Strata which in very small print stated: selectable ABS. what? really - meaning: i don't have to buy a ninja to get a small displacement price bike with ABS. (a decision fraught with not!) and selectable ABS, change to a high fender - do it all? i would never consider more than a rental of a "BMW cross country 650" but this bikes engine as a factory admitted tweaked but ride-able with light wheels started to sound like the elusive replica (and more).

any of you in agreement? see below

Unfortunately this bike has no factory or brand home? - BMW has since bought rotax -this was a Sachs design: BMW has sold husky to KTM who has pulled it out of Italy.
[i]if they are not gone now: they will be in weeks.
http://www.husqvarnamotorcycles.com.au/product.asp?pid=58&t=TR+650+Strada+ABS&cid=3
In terms of engine technology, the TR 650 Strada relies on the tried and tested basis of the G 650 GS by BMW Motorrad. However, this liquid-cooled single-cylinder power unit with two overhead camshafts and 652 cc was extensively modified and its performance significantly enhanced for use in the new Husqvarna model. It delivers 43 kW (58 hp) at 7,250 rpm, developing its maximum torque of 60 Nm at 5,750 rpm. A reduced power version for LAMS is on offer as an ex works option with 35 kW (48 hp) at 7,250 rpm and 54 Nm of torque at 5,750 rpm.
ABS Standard
To match the dynamic performance available, the brake system consists of a single Brembo brake disc at front and rear which offers supremely solid stopping power, enhanced with ABS, which is disengageable.
High Quality Chasis
The new Husqvarna TR650 Strada is able to rely on an agile chassis based on a split-backbone tubular steel frame with remove-able rear frame and front beam bolted to the engine. Front guidance and suspension duties are dealt with by a torsionally-stiff 46 millimetre upside-down telescopic fork. The rear wheel is controlled by a torsionally-stiff dual swing arm made of pentagonal steel tubing in conjunction with a centrally-mounted rear shock with progressive linkage. In keeping with its use on asphalted roads, the Husqvarna TR 650 Strada has cast wheels made of aluminium.

Bikes traded 2skorps in. Or lurker: spares FS

Postby stewsail » Sun Dec 22, 2013 11:38 pm

Bikes traded in : after long trailer "ride" and a hard goodbye to Natasha & Boris: see "for sale" for more info on bikes fs & on parts still available
http://www.mzriders.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=7245
(if an MZ dealer was still open...) a trs with MZ engine case covers would IMHO initially look like a new MZ Baghira Black Panther or?: looks and feels significantly lighter than my traveler: wife is flat footed on a stiff new bike: so trs actual final settled height 1.35 maybe 1.5 higher to "settled skorps".
thanks
