Another of the concept bikes presented at EICMA 2009, in Milan, Italy, the past week, was this Husqvarna SMQ, the first road bike from Husqvarna in it's history, probably pointing in a new direction for the manufacturer.
A radical design that causes a love or hate reaction, nonetheless, the 450cc single mono engine from the BMW G450X, combined with minimal weight, suggestes this scrambler/trail/supermoto bike would be fun. Notice the radiator, goes straight next to the headlight!
