Good, original condition

XXXX Husqvarna XXXcc, X-speed

Frame Number: MIXXXX
Engine Number: XXXXXXM

As off-road motorcycle racing evolved through the XXXXs and early XXXXs, movement began away from lightly modified street bikes toward machines designed from the outset for competition. In this period before the Japanese manufacturers came to be involved, the Europeans set the trends, building ever lighter and more powerful machines. Swedish maker Husqvarna came to epitomize the success of motorcycles developed for and extensively raced in closed-course competition. Its models won XX motocross and XX enduro (longer distance) titles through the late XXXXs.

The example on offer here, is in good original condition, although missing the distinctive red and chrome tank. It has been on static display for some years in private and very prominent collection based here in Southern California, and as such, it will need some general re-commissioning to return it to reliable off-road use. It is complete with original Bing carb, etc., and and has frame number only XXX away from the inimitable Steve McQueen??�s sold few years ago. The engine turns freely with good compression and all cycle parts are in excellent working order. think it is too good to need restoration, showing lovely originality and patina.
