Husqvarna Motorcycles

Swedish company Husqvarna is a leader in the off-road motorcycle segment. Since 2014 Husqvarna has moved some of their focus to produce street-bikes.

Dirty Deed – Husqvarna Cafe Racer

As far as dirt bikes go the Husqvarna TE510 was a well-respected package. Alongside its two-stroke brethren, it may have felt like a tamer machine, but that big 4 stroke single was just as capable of providing plenty of off-road entertainment. What really made it stand out from the crowd though was…
