The great advantage that both the 450 and 510 SM models have is the lightweight that characterizes them. At only 260.1 lbs, a piece of machinery that produces approximately 54 HP (450) or even more, 60 HP (510) will put an end to any challenge when the red light turns great." Go to this link and read more if ya like. I actually underestimated the 510's power a bit. (topspeed.com/motorcycles/motorcycle-reviews/husqvarna/2008-husqvarna-sm-450-r-and-sm-510-r-ar53348.html)
@fox13z400 my SMR 510 is a freakin' beast. 450's and 500's put out roughly 55hp from the factory. I ran dirt tires on it a few times. Mucho torque. Of course the Huskys cost more but it's less than you'd have tied up trying to get a Japanese bike up to the same HP out.
@fox13z400 I'm talking about the 2007 (last year of carbuerators). 55Hp on a stock sumo is pretty good if ya ask me. The 450's and 510's are comparable in power but the 450 is a little snappier. I would like to test drive a 2011 510SMR when it come's out though. I'm pretty sure it'll be a BMW motor since that's what's going on the new 450's. Beamer makes good stuff so I'm sure the motors will be pretty good.
@mikemk92 lol yea they do. But i highly doubt that husky ever made 55HP stock. IN fact in almost positive that its always come in last or close to it wen it came to power
@fox13z400 Read the link I sent. Husky's always made good power they just haven't seen the U.S. motocross market as something they'd like to get into. Looks like that's changing pretty soon. HP didn't make a difference if you weren't willing to pay sponsors and a kick ass pit crew. Ya know?
Braaap!

511 and the 449 look close to some electric bull shit. Hold on to your old huskies, because Husqvarna has died again.

@knightlike101 they were at one time i think until they started to ban 2 strokes
hardy329 1 year ago
@hardy329 KTM and Yamaha are still getting away with selling 2 strokes. I guess some just give up all together?
knightlike101 1 year ago
@knightlike101 yeah its a little ridiculous but what ever as long as i still get to ride something
hardy329 1 year ago
@hardy329 Yeah Husqvarna shoulda stepped up sooner IMO.

@mikemk92 are you talking about the 2011? cause every other year their bike's have been really lacking power.
