I rode CZ and Maico, but always wanted a Husky.. https://www.schmitt.com/inventory/1968-husqvara-360-cross/?utm_source=Daniel+Schmitt+%26+Co.+Newsletter&utm_campaign=ce19e5f1d7-August_18_2017+Newsletter_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_626a4ca2a6-ce19e5f1d7-223288601
I used to ride a '71 250 a fair amount. They really were beautiful bikes and the aluminum fenders and tank were beautiful. If I remember right it was a right side shift 4 speed and maybe 1 up and 3 down. I also remember the countershaft sprocket wasn't keyed. You had to Loctite Red it on.
My bro bought a Husky 360 Enduro, back in 1971. He still has it. His son has “brought it back” to showroom condition. Meanwhile, after owning and riding/racing virtually most motorcycles over the years, I finally bought my first Husky. Here’s a pic of my 701... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Visited my bro a last week. Here’s is Husky 360WR. Image Unavailable, Please Login Starts first kick…
I find these strangely compelling, even though i hate the urban tard look. Seems like its a great backroads and dirt road bike. Great for Ct. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Is that the Vit or Smartpilen? Can't make up my mind re design, but how much can you do w a motorcycle?
I like the crisp swedish minimalism of the design, and uets its still clearly nbaked syle. Yes there is only so much one can do designwise esp with a liquid cooled motor. Seems like a great backroads and dirt road bike, which is what my need is. I guess the only question for off road is ground clearance, but thats not a dirt road and light trail issue. Its light, handles well and has good suspension plus tires of gravel. Compared to a triumph ducati or BMW scrambler its far lighter and small
It's the Vitpilen...401. They make a 700 also. I've noticed it, along w the smaller KTM Dukes...690,790, 890. https://www.cycleworld.com/story/buyers-guide/2020-husqvarna-vitpilen-401/
Svartpilin 401, the vitpilin is pure road bike. https://www.husqvarna-motorcycles.com/en-pt/models/naked/svartpilen/svartpilen-401-2023.html
Lots of interesting "middleweight" stuff out there now...I remember when a 750 was a "big" bike. Around 400lbs? I'm interested. Heavier? Not so much.
