A Legacy of Thumpers
Husqvarna's state of the art four-strokes have roots that go back to 1903.

Husky's first four-stroke motocrosser may have been a hodgepodge of existing parts, but it won two world championships in the early Sixties.
The 1919 Model 150 marked Husqvarna's first attempt at building its own V-Twin, a 550cc, 12-hp version that remained in production for nine years
Husky Number One, powered by a 1903-vintage four-stroke Single that churned out a colassal one-and-a-quarter horsepower.
The "Specialracer" model of 1931 managed to look very English; which was appropriate, considering its 500cc, British-made J.A.P. engine.
One of the most beautiful pre-war roadracers, the 1935 V-Twin TT was produced in 350cc and 500cc versions.
