Liked the idea of the swing arm pivot being the same as the front sprocket, chain tension doesn't change through suspension travel.

I was waiting for these, but Benelli was sold to the Chinese, and that was the end of that.

Like I said, I always found those first giant 4 stroke MX bikes from the 90's interesting.

Whats the story on this bike? I don't remember reading about it...
that was a KX80 made to look like a Husky because the son or dad or both wanted a "Husky" 80 even though they weren't made.
