A mate of mine has a YZ250 2 smoke registered for the road. Just a race number board on the front (no headlight) and a number plate. You don't need a brake light or even a tail light for daytime MOT.

You do now need a reflector at the rear though.  So the answer to the question is not a lot.  Probably £100 at a stretch.

KTM made in Austria. Husqvarna made in Italy. Husky side stands made of steel mine has never broken, i can even leave it on the stand so i can give the motor a good kick start !!

Husaberg 2 smokes are basically KTM's with diff plastics and some frame and engine tweeks.

Husqvarna Motorcycles has Swedish origins and has over one hundred years history in motorcycle manufacturing. As with many motorcycle manufacturers, Husqvarna first began producing bicycles in the late 19th century. In 1903, they made the jump to motorcycle manufacturing. In 1920, Husqvarna produced its first own engine, a twin cylinder. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s they were a dominant force in the motocross world, winning 14 Motocross world championships in the 125 cc, 250 cc and 500 cc divisions and 24 Enduro world championships.
In 1987, the Husqvarna motorcycle division was sold to Italian motorcycle group Cagiva and became part of MV Agusta Motor S.p.A. and production commenced in Varese, Italy. In the final months of 2007, Husqvarna Motorcycles was acquired by the prestigious BMW Group which has many modern production sites all over the world. All development, production, design, sales and marketing activities are centralized in Husqvarna Motorcycles' worldwide headquarters in Varese, Italy, which is one of the numerous cutting-edge BMW Group manufacturing facilities.

Doug as I understand it you'll need a SVA to register a bike that isn't old enough to be exempt (like my YZ!) I think its about £85, after that its evidence of age, MOT, tax, insurance, and registration fee. http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/BuyingAndSellingAVehicle/ImportingAndExportingAVehicle/DG_071781

Why are you so interested in Huskies Doug?

Yeh, I like the look of them too but aren't they just KTM's with different body work - or am I missing something?
Do they also suffer from the KTM side stand issues?
BTW - I am also interested in a lightweight 250 for the future so just wondering if a Husky should be on my wish list...

Ah yes, I was getting confused with Husaberg who are KTM owned.

I like the fact that Husqvarna's parent company is BMW, there will be money behind them if they need it.

So, why do you like them so much?

I just like the reliability and build quality, plus they use good cycle parts.

Not knocking - far from it, I like 'em - but every time I take some parts in from them to PGH the parts guys whinges that it's taken months to get it. If you have a good supply of consumables then great but what is it like getting plastics/internal engine stuff etc?

From past experiences with Betas you were fine with engine parts as it's all KTM but bearings and plastics seemed to be unique to them and caused some supply problemsyawn

At the moment you can still use the enduro exempt rather than an sva for registering not sure how long this option will remain

 That's good news and makes it easier, but Doug will still need some proof of age?

 Was that the one at Dougs birthday bash a couple of years ago, we were shagged out pushing the thing up and down the road before we even got started

Also seem to remember some problems with the trailer it came on
