Default Second bike.. what would you buy?

I am getting a second bike. I will keep my beloved 2010 klx 350, but I want a powerful quiet bike that I will use as my primary machine, keeping the KLX for fishing on the beach.

I have narrowed it down to five choices:

Husqvarna TE511 (hard core enduro)
Husqvarna TE630 (dual exhaust, more street oriented...prob the coolest bike Ive ever seen)
KTM EXC530 (hard core enduro)
KTM 690 Enduro R (more dual sport oriented)
Husaberg FE570 (kickazz enduro)

each has its own strength weakness, which of the five would you want and why (price not an issue)

Within the span of an hour you made up your mind and made a deal, without the input of others? Sweet!

And I think you made a good choice. That's an awesome bike.

i've been doing a similar search, the huss seem to be getting great reviews. i'm leaning towards the ktm 690 because i'm looking at longer road trips to get to the offroad trails and they seem to be working in that area very well.
