Husqvarna
AA Class
Well I've read here "nice ktm" or "ktm with husaberg linkage" .........What did we expect, now lets have a look at a bit of history and try to patch it together.
In 1987 Gagiva purchased Husqvarna, the bikes began to take on a bit of italian flavor that we now consider to be the husky we know.
However at that time a team of Swed's did not want to follow so led by Thomas Gustavsson they formed Husaberg a small poorly funded company but with great inovation, the same inovation that would have been Husqvarnas had it stayed in Sweeden maybe.
In 1995 KTM owns Husaberg along with the inovation and technology, which you can guarantee has filtered into the ktm line over the years, so now some of the technology and design of husaberg born of husqvarna is at ktm.
Now in 2007 BMW purchased Husky from the MV Augusta group and gave the bikes a German Flair similar to their x 450 enduro bike and gs 650 ect, they tried hard but bad timing and proberly min support or whatever from the parent company forced them to sell, so along comes Peirer.
Pierer first stated that he will merge husaberg into husqvarna, the 2 company's that came from one in the begining and take Husqvarna back to its grass roots. Now I beleive that this bike is the begining of a new era using technology ,design and inovation that should have allways been Huskys....
Therefore it is slowly returning returning to its roots it just will take a few years to breed out the bit of orange in there.
I think it's a great start and I like the bike a lot, I can't wait to see the rest of the line, hoping there is an 85 there somewhere for my daughter.
