Husqvarna Concept Street bikes to ship in MY2017

400cc street bikes. One sort of cafe racer like. The other, street tracker like.

The Svartpilen (Black Arrow)









The Vitpilen (White Arrow)







FINALLY!

KTM has loosened the slack on the chain to allow Husky a little design freedom. Interesting looking bikes. Not quite what I'm looking for personally, but this variance from the KTM company line is encouraging. There may be hope for Husky to be more than a clone of Orange yet.

I think they will need a place to mount a plate so have taken the liberty...

A little funky/chunky/busy for my taste and that antiqued bronze and white spring maybe is a hit in Austria but not for me.

It's a concept bike. The shipping models will be different and both will have plates, obviously. I kinda like the look. It'll be interesting to see how it changes in the shipping version.

I wouldn't buy one. 400cc is too small for me. Suspension travel looks rather short.
