Their history began with the Swedish king commissioning a metal-works company to produce muskets all the way back in 1689. They are literally as old as the hills. Husqvarna began producing motorcycles in 1903 at Huskvarna, Sweden. The first motorcycle was MotoReve, a 225cc single-cylinder engine that produced 1.25 horsepower, which provided a manageable speed of 25-30 mph with belt drive. By the early 20s, motorcycle racing had become popular all over Europe and the Isle Of Man TT had established itself as one of the biggest events. Husqvarna raced in the event between the 20s and 30s, gaining crucial experience in motorcycle development, something that would hold them in good stead post-war. Seeing a growing trend in the 50s, they launched the Silverpilen, the first ever purpose built off-road motorcycle. For a long time, they were untouchable on the dirt tracks around the world, winning 14 Motocross World Titles and 24 European Enduro Championships. But Husqvarna is more than motorbikes.
