Spy photos: 2009 Subaru HS500sa

A couple of weeks ago, we told you about the HS500sa, a new single-cylinder sportsbike that could carry a Subaru badge. Another photo of the bike has emerged, this time with more detail. A Chinese-made, cast-aluminum frame holds Show suspension and Tokico brakes. Power comes from a 50bhp, 500cc Fuji Heavy Industries single that’s seen previous duty in Polaris quads. This all looks suspiciously production ready, so expect to see more of this bike in the near future.

There is also speculation that this bike could be badged as an OSCA, though we’ve found no reliable information on that subject.
