Hehe ... before my @ I had a Transalp. And I did a lot of offrad driving
with that bike, esp. in the piemont in Italy/France. I took small
paths, I never dreamed before. During that time I also tested a 
KTM 620 Super Competiton, which is of the same 'class' like the
Husaberg.
So after my Transalp was stolen in Ajaccio/Corse I was unsure wether
to go for a KTM or not. But it was the same with me like you. I need
a bike to go 1000km a day if necessary _AND_ I want the bike to
have some offroad capabilities.
So up to now I have no idea if I can manage to ride the same small
paths with my @ as I did with the transalp, but I hopefully will check 
this summer the way to the Mt. d'granon again :-) ... if it does not
work I presume i have to order a KTM ... some time B-> ...

Rgs and happy @-ing!

Hajo
