Husqvarna , The Whole Story

[Tzed250]

Tom, when did Harley start their first bike factory and when did Honda start their first one? Let me guess that Harley was first. Now, who makes the best bikes ? A 170kg 200hp CBR1000 or a vibrating monster with merely 60hp that doesn't idle ? (It now hits me how much Harley and the MS290 have in common, except for the hp..)

Honda only wishes it could sell as many bikes in the 1000+cc category as Harley does...

The Husqvarna motorcycle division was sold to Italian motorcycle manufacturer Cagiva in 1987. The motorcycles (affectionately known as "Huskys") are now produced in Italy. A group of former Husqvarna employees started a new motorcycle company named Husaberg that won the 500cc Motocross World Championship 3 times in the 1990s.

BMW bought Husky bikes not too long ago,and BMW said they will run it separately from their own biz.

Nope, that includes all bikes over 850cc. Do the research.

What was this thread about? Harley's?
... or?

 

[PES+]

The model 70 wasn't a true Husky (Cresent design), and wasn't very successful either.

It was sold as Partner as well, btw......

I got one of a customers 70...one of the last ones imported here.

I am going to take off parts till I get the weight down to 5 kilo and see if it will still run.

Harley is a lifestyle, not an example of fine engineering. People buy it for what it represents. For the record I'm not one of them

Sorry back to saws now, I love my 357!!!

No no no Rope!!! In order for someone to have a "creative mind," they first have to have the MIND! We're talkin' 2K here!!!

That's like saying "Tom Hall has a cunning mind." No he don't!!! It just don't go!!!

Same goes for Stihl. Americans have a very deep rooted culture and the fine art of engineering is not a very big part of it .... which is why Stihl sells more saws than Husky in the US It also explains the high sales of the MS290...

You see that Swedish flag up there on the moon, Peter?

Neither do I.

Now shut up 'fore we Smart Bomb you back to the stone age.

I seem to have hit your weak spot Woodie. No, there is no Swedish flag on the moon, we were not part of the size comparing of a certain body part like you and the russians back in those days. Nor would I like my government to spend one cent of my tax money for putting a flag on the moon.

Now relax and wait for getting smart bombed by North Korea

How 'bout ol' Lars...how's he doing on the International Space Station?

Oh yeah...I forgot...Sweden's not part of that either.

Okay...I'll bite...other than saws and cell phones, whatdya got Peter?

(And don't say 'cars,' cause we Americans own those companies.)
