Husqvarna swedish quality. When they were devoloping the firts motocrossbike it was done in secret whitout the companys knowledge. Only a few guys and riders was working at nights whit the project. They tried to build their engines a lot stronger and reliable than others at the time, for example they used parts from husqvarnas weapon-industri for the gearboxes. At the time their quality and perfektion was outstanding but thats like 50-60 years ago so.
my mistake! Husqvarna did have bikes in the US racing in AMA but it was not Bob hannah riding one. How ever I beleive I was thinking of Malcolm Smith who rode one in the Baja 1000 for three wins.
Still racing my 2012. For MX it's 'ok' but for off-road/GP style it's sick. Been racing D37 Off-Road with it and have zero problems getting on the box.

I have the same bike, and believe me it’s the fastest stock 250 out there it will hang with 250 2 strokes!
I have a 2012 and a 2015. The Red Head is my "go-to" during off-road racing season.
And same or less weight which is about 215pounds
I know right. I wish I could ride a dirt bike like that. I'll take the Husky too. One day I will have me a damn 310 TE.
i have the 2012 model and to be honest i agree on the suspension being too soft, but other than that it is a great bike imo.
Oh, and how did Vicky Golden do in the pros? Can you say "last place"?
That's one ugly bike
a common mod is a YZF front fender as they are the exact same white and bolts up easy
Not sure what the woman was talking about for soft suspension? Mine's a 2011 and stiff with me at 6' & 155 pounds. Lol!
Badass footage

should check them out! Been building bikes longer than Harley Davison. Bob hannah raced one in 1976 ama motocross.
I'll stick with my Husqvarna. 1982 250CR. Wouldn't mind having a 430CR, though!

What did you do in terms of suspension, I heard people say the suspension is hard on slower choppy stuff
@@bobriley000444 It tends to be a bit soft over the course of a one hour moto. I never really did anything to it but maybe I should have.
this bike isnt that bad... damn
BMW
doesn't really sound like a 250 o.O
nutfukkinjob what’s it sound like?
Never herd of a husqvarna dirtbike
