Husqvarna Sportsman description

1970 Husqvarna 360 Sportsman raced on the '70 ISDT in Spain by AMA Hall of Fame, the legend John Penton, representing the USA Trophy Team. 

Mr. Penton finished all 6 days of race with 0 points lost/penalties.

Tons of research was done in order to restore this bike to its as-raced condition, from the case-protecting crashbars, the inspection paint tagging of the component parts (wheels, shocks, frame, etc., and the lead-seal linking the head to the cylinder), the hand painted numbers on the metal number plates, additional mudflaps, special factory-provided non-production tail light, Bufo bolts, and Trelleborg tires.

This bike was specially built by Husqvarna for the ISDT, so it doesn't look like any other model of that year, even though it's titled as a Sportsman. Only the top teams had access to those bikes.

 All parts were sandblasted and painted with correct shade of silver, and black. Rims and gas tank were rechromed. Engine was all gone through and bike is in riding condition, although was never started. Never had oil or gas in it because it's stored indoors (no smell).

This bike should be in a museum, not only for its condition but also for its history.

It comes with:

- Original '70 ISDT helmet
- Original & Official 1970 ISDT Race Route Maps
- Original & Official 1970 ISDT Race Info Booklet
- '70 ISDT book (imported from Spain)
- John Penton's book

Bike comes with clear CA title with license plate.

Husqvarna Baja Concept Unveiled at New York IMS

Fri, 20 Jan 2012

Husqvarna has unveiled a new dual-sport concept at the New York stop of the 2012 International Motorcycle Shows. At first glance, the Husqvarna Baja Concept appears similar to the Moab concept unveiled at the 2011 EICMA Show last November. Both models are aesthetically inspired by Husqvarna motorcycles from the ’70s and especially Steve McQueen‘s Husqvarna H400 famously immortalized on the cover of Sports Illustrated.

Swedish solutions

ONE question - where can we get one? The video shows Swedish army issue Husqvarna 258's (1981) fitted with 'ski-stabilisers'. The riders put their feet on the skis and slide in confidently, despite the snow and ice. Apparently these are pretty common in the Swedish military which is as good a reason as I've ever heard to do your service for King Gustaf. Check out how he opens it up at about 45 seconds in...

Husqvarna upgraded supermoto FS 450

Thu, 08 Jun 2017

For the 2018 model year, the looks of the Husk has remained virtually unchanged, with the exception of slightly different color graphics. There are some technical metamorphoses, and one of the main ones is a new reverse slip clutch from the Swiss company Suter Industries. But still, it's a familiar fighter with a 449cc single-barreled 63bhp, WP monoshock rear, 16.5" front and 17" rear wheels on Bridgestone slicks.
