The Husqvarna is bringing the SM450R in
line with the new family look first seen on the TE310 and TC45 enduros. This
means a really attractive headlight fairing and an minimal plastics.
This is a motard for passionate fans, with a beautiful look
that’s nasty and says she’s ready for racing.
The plastic covering has a lovely form, along with some great
colouring and a “factory” charm. The important news is all in the chassis, with
improved rigidity, while also weighing one kilo less. No excesses have been
taken, just a few improvements on what was already an impressive little machine.
The 450cc engine has been kept and the exhaust valves are in
stainless steel. Some changes have been made to the transmission, for faster
gear change and the bike is now available with fuel injection.
