Husqvarna street bike. Bring the fire.
They fell out of the ugly tree, and hit every branch on the way down.

Husqvarna used to be all about quality and it still usually is. However the design department may fall short from time to time.

We are currently in a period where the manufacturers are doing different things, much like the 80's. I see this as a very positive thing!

I really like the sleek looking cafe racer style bikes with the flat handlebars, monoshock, and the flat, small seats. I would probable build one myself before I ever bought new.

If these bikes are anything like the Husky products I have then they should be good.
I have a Husky 20 year old+ chainsaw, a Husky motor mower and have just bought a Husky snowblower. Guy |

Those bikes are awesome, look functional, and have performance that can be used.
Unlike the Kawi H2 and H2R with their "winglets", "angular air ducts", and ungodly amounts of hp which is just more noise coming from the Jap bike race.

Cool, nice change of pace. Sadly the only Husqvarnas I ever get to see are the sewing machines.

The "Pilan" bikes are just concepts. I doubt they could get away with that bobtail in the US...
I like 'em. And, even better, the website showed me how they relate to the "Silberpilan" huskies of the late 1950's so a little history lesson is a good thing!

This thing looks great, blocky, purposeful.

Svartpilen? Do you really want a motorcycle that sounds like it was named by IKEA?

LOL. I'd ride the wheels off that thing. Looks like a great hooligan machine.

Great 2 stroke bikes back in the day. I love the Svartpilen. Somewere, there's a picture of my dad next to Torsten Hallman when they came over to SoCal for the first time.
