What would you prefer:
- husaberg 570 (FI, 115kg, 60 rwhp) with standard 137x2.6in, or
- GSXR 1000 (160kg, 160hp) with custom 144 or 156 x 3.2in track?
After owning and riding a variety of bikes I would agree with 2smokin.
The Husaburg 570 is a low revving heavy flywheel turd.
Do you want to ride a lot of deep snow?
Best readily available setup would be a 16+ husky/ktm 450 with a 490 big bore through raze Motorsports. 137 cmx, 16-17 ts 137, 137 SnowTech MX, or ts aro 137. Price is astronomical for this setup.
The brc 500 is another option with no actual on snow reviews. (More expensive)
If you are game to build a bike/kit setup.
A inline 4 600 class sportbike isn’t too hard to setup with a 16+ ts kit. (Lots of fiddling but only steel welding capability required)
This will blow any brc500 or 490-570 out of the water in actual deep powder.
The latest one I have is the best of all those worlds.
50# lighter than a gixxer 1000 in street form. (Most of that rotating mass)
Priorities in manual tranny engine selection.
1: longest rev range with good power / torque.
2: lightest rotating mass
3: overall weight
4: ease of snow proofing intake.
5: close ratio transmission (The ninja 636 has been the best for all categories)
6: availability of 520 sprockets for the transmission output shaft.
I also considered a daytona 675 but reliability and overall cost were concerns.
