2012 Speedbrain Husqvarna

Wed, 05 Dec 2012

This it the Husqvarna TE449RR 2013 Dakar contender by German tuning shop Speedbrain. It's based on the Enduro TE449 but you know with a double-R in the title, it's gonna be serious. It looks serious and moody - it doesn't look like it's interested in small talk and I'm betting it doesn't give a shit how your day's going.

Swedish solutions

Wed, 05 Dec 2012

ONE question - where can we get one? The video shows Swedish army issue Husqvarna 258's (1981) fitted with 'ski-stabilisers'.

EICMA 2012: Introducing the Brutus, the Two-Wheeled SUV

Thu, 15 Nov 2012

You’d be forgiven if you thought the motorcycle pictured here was a Husqvarna on steroids. No, despite the red and white colors and Husky’s recent reputation for showcasing surprising concept models at EICMA (such as the Mille 3 in 2010 and the Baja at this year’s show), the bike shown here is an all new model called the Brutus from a company called Over.

This year, Husqvarna returns to the 2012 EICMA Show with an updated version of the Baja concept that looks a lot closer to being ready for production.
