Meet Husqvarna’s new 900cc parallel-twin engine that's expected to power the company’s adventure tourer which will have its public debut at the EICMA show in Milan later in 2011.
Based largely on BMW’s 800c twin-cylinder engine, the Husqy engine has been uprated to a slightly larger displacement and tweaked to meet the special requirements of the model it will ultimately drive.
According to the company this allows a reasonable increase in power and torque, which translates into "an outstanding and fun riding experience".
"Husqvarna has reached a significant milestone in its long history by developing a street bike that will create an innovative riding concept," the company says. "This will focus on a unique combination of performance and versatility, with the pleasure and fun of riding the machine."
The new engine will be the first Husqvarna street bike to combine BMW Motorrad technology with Husqvarna genes in terms of design and riding experience.
According to the company it is one of the first steps that demonstrates the synergy between BMW Motorrad and Husqvarna for the development of street bikes.
