2008 Husaberg FS 550e[edit | edit source]

With the way supermoto has taken off across the globe, manufacturers are on the gas for 2007. As the sister company of arguably the most advanced SuMo machine producer, KTM, Husaberg has upped its bet in the Unlimited class with this 550cc beast.

The FS550e gets a healthy dose of Mad Max 'tude with its black bodywork, fork tubes and 17-inch wheels along with blue graphics. Combine that with the stubby front fender, squatty SuMo stance and Husaberg's signature chassis design, the FS550e is a stark outline of wicked intent. Judged solely by glossy photos against a white background, the new bruised motif is a hot ticket. In the real world, however, that indistinguishable color scheme yet distinctive body style come off differently against a natural backdrop of dirt and asphalt.
