They will also probably change the cam....
CCM have a great opportunity here. I hope they don't f**k it up....
I don't think you can compare the motor with a Husky. Huskys were built for performance over reliability. They're race bikes.

Maybe you shouldn't make blanket statements either.
The TE610 was Husky's dualsport model, built for road duty with 3000 mile service intervals, improved alternator output to power accessories and lights
The power output from the 575cc motor is around what I'm hearing CCM is getting from the 450, although knowing both motors (in BMW trim anyway), the Husky is much less dependent on revs to make progress.
The 450 was fat more slanted to the dirt/race side of things than the 610, and in fact when BMW bought Husky, that motor was moved into some Husky 'race' models.
Maybe CCM / Kymco has done a lot more homework on this motor, improving stator output, service intervals, power band characteristics, setting up several years supply of parts and so on, but most of that will take at least 2 and maybe 5+ to prove out.
