Husqvarna mini bike to sell for $4495

The long-awaited machine is nearly here, which will be the company's baptism of fire in the burgeoning junior scene

Husqvarna's journey into uncharted waters, mini bikes, is about to commence with its CR50 motocrosser set to go on sale locally in late September for $4495.

The bike, first unveiled at last year's EICMA motorcycle show in Milan, has a liquid-cooled 50cc two-stroke engine with a dual clutch transmission, which the BMW-owned Husky is hoping will satisfy the requirements of both entry level and experienced riders alike.

The rest of the specs are equally impressive: chrome molybdenum frame; detachable alloy subframe; 140mm rear disc brake; 160 mm "daisy" race design front disc brake with dual piston caliper; 32mm Marzocchi fork; adjustable Sachs shock; and 22mm handlebars with standard bar pad. The wheel sizes are 12-inch (front) and 10-inch (rear) on black anodised rims.

We are also awaiting reconfirmation on whether a bigger CR65 will also follow by the end of 2010.
