G450X

What makes the G 450 X so unique? It's the way it's engineered. Quite simply, there is technology on this machine that is totally revolutionary. First off, the countershaft sprocket and swingarm are on the same pivot, which keeps chain tension uniform at all times for better power delivery. The clutch is smaller and mounted directly on the crankshaft which means less heat and stress on the plate. A feisty, fuel injected, easy-starting engine that's mounted forward in a stainless steel, cradle-less frame puts serious, power to the ground, while an extra-long swingarm creates unstoppable traction. Add a gas tank under the seat for a lower center of gravity, no linkage Ohlin's shock, and a forward-mounted airbox, and this is a 450 cc thumper that stands alone as the most original machine to hit the dirt in years.

sounds interesting, but i couldnt afford the bike, OR the aftermarket parts. lol

cradleless frame.

sure hope that motor loves to land on rocks and 50/50 jumps! my guess is it will be launched into the under seat gas tank.

think I will hold my praise on this techno marvel for now.

ya idk David Knight could not win on it and he makes winning look ez

Yeah I am afraid agent is correct, However the suspnsion has been changed as well as a few other tweaks, Still I don't know what the heck they were thinking about with the gas Cap right where your rear is. Being a Bmw owner (Bike that is) The only thing that really appeals to me is it has a warranty and it is Plated, Hopefully they will spend some time and correct the issues, But Husky already has co-opted the motor, I feel that it will live on in a better Chasis over there.

Ya it would be better if it had a BMW engine in it, not a kymco.

I still like BMW's cars a lot better!
