2007 Feature Husqvarna picture
Dear HVA Club,
I
am cars and motorcycle stylist and for long time I am big enthousiast
of HUSQVARNA off road bikes.I own several old bikes. I have
found your site and would like to add on some information.I send you
copy of an article from SWEDISH motorcycle magazine "MC-Nytt" from 1975
with an article about my trials bikes designes and you can see there my
proposal for Husqvarna trials bike. Another image if photo
of Husqvarna MX rider Torleif Hansen in action taken by me around
1967. I hope to hear news from you, Best
regards from Justyn Norek
Thanks Justyn,
Torleif is one of my heros from the 60's and 70's on Husqvarna -
please click the omage for full size, it is a stunning Justyn Norek photo from 67-68
period. make sure to click again to enlarge!
Craig
Things to note - 67 slant fin engine, snap on Magura lever covers,
prototype frame judging by under engine tubes and rear brake stay,
Akront rims front and rear, progressive springs on rear, no front tank
mounts?, direct out of case ignition(hard to see), rubber strap
type front plate mount, 304 throttle so it must be a 32mm side float
Bing, std early Magura levers, front fork tube clamp bolts nuts to the
rear, period cool riding outfit !

1972
400
CR Bengt Åberg Replica
Husqvarna dominated all off
road
events during 1972...motocross, desert, enduro, and special events like
Baja and the Mint 400 as well as world class motocross. World class
riders
Torlief Hansen, Bengt Åberg, Arne Kring, Gunnar Lindstrom were
heros
on Huskys. Have some spare money ready, you'll want a
Husky!This
MJ 400 pictured above has original high cross bar bars, yellow number
plates
to signify Open class, and alloy fenders. This is the "New Generation"
Husqvarna that was designed with a new heavy duty transmission with 5
speeds
and LEFT HAND SHIFT. This was the first model year with this feature of
left hand shift. This photo is actually an MJ publicity foto
taken
for Cycle World. Interesting to note the cable routing of the front
brake
cable .... in front of the number plate. This was to assure it did not
"hook" the front forks and lock up the front brake. The polished
Akronts,
polished fenders, chrome tank panels, new shiney spokes, along with
fork
tubes and handle bars make a "knock out" look for a competition bike.
Pulling
up on the start line amongst any other brands of the day was quite
intimidating.
All things being equal, not only did everyone know that you most likely
were going to holeshot, but you were looking better than all while
doing
it. A new 72 Husqvarna 400 sold for $1200. A new Suzuki TM400 sold for
$950. It was mind boggling at the time why anyone would have purchased
anything but a Husky!
1984
Husqvarna 510 TE
The 1984 Husqvarna 510 TE was a
bold and world class step for Husqvarna motorcycles. The 510 was
introduced
mid year 83 and the 84's were a similiar model. Twin shock on the Husky
"O" series frame, these 4 strokes were the lightest and most
competitive
4 strokes in the world and in an era that was dominated by 2
strokes.
The engine was kept light with a reed activated oiling system. The "TE"
model shown was the the enduro with full lighting, horn, speedo, but
don't
be fooled , this is a full out competittion model. Twin exhaust was
very
impressive, as was the plastic tank and new style graphics.
The 84 510 TE has a 6 speed
tramnsmission.
The camshaft rides in ball bearings, and the big end has silver plated
cage. The carurettor, DellOrto 36mm has an accelerator pump for smooth
response. The electrical system (SEM) on this model puts out 140watts
of
power. The front brake is a double leading shoe. The engine has an
automatic
as well as a manual decompression release.
The rear suspension was Husqvarna
ITC. The small horn was bolted to the front tank mount and is visable
in
the photo. The speedometer cable runs up the right fork leg and has a
wire
bracket guide also visable in photo.
USA ISDE riders Wally Wilson,
Terry
Cunningham, Scot Harden, Mark Hyde, Ed Lojak, Mike Melton, and Dick
Burleson
were just some of the heros that were Husqvarna team riders in this
era.
1989
125 WRK and 250 WRK
Husqvarna WRK 125 was the 1988
best selling bike and was improved even futher with Marzocchi forks,
new
tank and radiator shrouds. The motor is the high horsepower MX version
with enduro gearbox and ignition. The 125 is pictured at the top.
Husqvarna WRK 250 was also
offered
in Europe as a 240 or a 260. White Power provides the suspension. The
engine
is powervalved, liquid cooled, 2 stroke, 6 speed with plenty of power.
Excel rims were standard equipment, but the Pirelli tires as pictured
may
have been changed for USA sales.
1998
Husqvarna TE
610
This TE 610 is a high tech
, liquid cooled four stroke with a four valve head and overhead cam.
This
bike comes with 45mm Marzocchi forks and a progressive linked Showa
monoshock.
The tires are Metzler "Unicross", chain is DID and the brakes are
Brembo.
The Husqvarna engineers are still producing the best looking and
worldclass
competitive motorcycle. The spark plug is a NGK C7E, gearbox
holds
1600 cc's, Dell'orto PHM 40 DS carburator is used, and the
displacement is 577 cc's. This Husky has a six speed gearbox and uses
DID
520 chain.
Like the TE model above, the
lights
make this competition model legal for enduro events, but were not
intended
to make this model legal for street use. The kick stand folds way up
out
of harms way and is visable tucked under the left number plate. Great
handling,
hi reliability when maintained properly , excellent torque thru out the
full rpm rangemake this model a great modern competition or trail
riding
bike.

Thanks again to club member
Kevin
Grimes for Mikkola decal for '71-'74 250CR's and WR's. I don't find
this
decal very often as I locate 250's of this era. The Husqvarna factory
did
apply some of these decals to the air cleaner covers, and they did
supply
the decals to the dealers, but some bikes were missed. Anybody have a
better
recollection than mine? You will notice that the two decals have a
different
color yellow/gold fill and the ribbons and other details are different.
Happy
Huskys

Husqvarna Motorcycle Hobbyist Club Gopher
Description:
My name is Craig Comontofski and
my
wife and I live in Martinsburg,West Virginia, a small town in the very
easternmost part of the state and a very historical location from a
Civil
War viewpoint. My large scale interests are motorcycle and automobile
restoration
, but can extend to major home improvements as well.
My first Husky was a '66 model
250
I bought from Dub Smith in '69. I rode the '71 Elsinore Gran Prix after
following ignition and suspension upgrade suggestions on the '66 from
Malcolm
Smith who was the local Husky dealer in Riverside. I placed 23rd out of
about 900 -- I thought I was pretty hot stuff . Bought a new MI 250 in
mid-'71. Raced my brains out at Spillway, Baymare, Indian Dunes,
Coalinga,
Laguna Seca, etc . Bought a new Husky each year in '72, '73. I was a
Cal
Poly Penguin MC member and was fortunate enough to able to have free
range
in the Las Padres Natl Forest. Quit racing motocross in '74 and put the
'73 400 away. Moved back to sports cars, antique cars,
restoration........came
foward to Huskys in '92 with a renewed desire. Joined AHRMA, AMA, and
proceeded
to scour the country for old Huskys to restore for show, race and
collecting.
I lucked out with good project material coming from all over the
country.
My expertise due to "hands on experience" is 55-84 motocross. Old Bike
Journal features my 250T Commando in April '97. Old Bike Journal is no
longer in print, but you can still find great Husqvarna articles in the
Husqvarna Club Newsletter.
