It looks like BMW wants to squeeze every last drop from their subsidiary Husqvarna. The latest concept is called Strada and it represents a semi-off-road single cylinder machine with direct design influences from the bigger 900cc Nuda presented some time ago. The engine is coming from BMW’s 650cc single-cylinder found in the G650GS, but apparently tuned by Italians for some extra punch. The bike will likely weigh below 170kg dry (nothing to write home about) and will hit the same market dominated by KTM and the Duke.
That’s about all of the details we found so far, so we’ll need to wait for the official announcement for more. Till then check out the huge photo gallery of Strada. We cant escape the feeling that we saw bike like this thousand times before…

It looks too darn boring, it doesn’t have the wow factor that the Duke has… =p
