Motorcycle Husqvarna Svartpilen 250

Husqvarna  is a Swedish company founded in 1689 to produce muskets. The company has grown since, was partitioned, and is now a brand of multiple companies. Husqvarna first began producing bicycles in the late 19th century. In 1903, they made the jump to motorcycle manufacturing. The first “Husky” motorcycles used imported engines, and it was not until 1916 that Husqvarna began producing machines built entirely in-house. In 1916, Husqvarna established its own engine factory and the first engine to be designed was a 550 cc four-stroke 50-degree side-valve V-twin engine, similar to those made by companies like Harley-Davidson and Indian. Today, Husqvarna Motorcycles GmbH is owned by PIERER Mobility Group.
