Dedicated to the details of all Husqvarna motorcycles from 1903 thru 2019. Happy Huskys !

Our colorful cover photo. . . The high-flying young man on the Swedish built Husqvarna is Malcolm Smith. He was caught mid-air , photographically, by Larry Willett. The fine shot was taken at the recent Corriganville (Calif.) Scrambles. Ed note - check out the goggles pulled down, no gloves, HUSKY hivis vest, 10 cylinder fins indicating a 360cc, skid plate, steel rims, kick stand, and looks like an early Bell helmet. Were those the days or what? |

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!
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.

Tack s?mycket.
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.
I also have additional
hobby pages I work on.

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.
