I learn something new everyday from this channel. I love motorcycles and being able to see all these unique models in detail is amazing. Thank you guys for preserving the history of these machines.

What’d you expect from Husqvarna

[@andrewrouse1829]

@@chicagoui9299 At one time Husqvarna were nearly unbeatable in Moto X not bad thinking they started off and still make sewing machines for the textile industry 💯👌

[@chicagoui9299]

@@andrewrouse1829 my uncle had I think it was a WX250? Bought it new in the mid 90’s. My gosh it was a powerhouse. I had an IT200 at the time. The IT was a great trail bike, but the Husky would run bye me in open flats like I was an 80cc. 😂

[@andrewrouse1829]

@@chicagoui9299 You never really hear much about the Swedish nation but they build something they do it well look at the Volvo's of the 70s early 80s they were bombproof then Saab areospace who went on to build brilliant cars so the Husky moto-cross bikes that took the world by storm were no big suprise plus they were the first to delve into the world of 2x2 drive motorcycles. Nice to hear from someone else who got to enjoy the neck snapping power band of the Husqvarna once ridden never forgotten 👍💯👌

[@remonschaft2090]

Husqvarna is the oldest surviving motorcycle manufacturer. Husqvarna has been producing motorcycles continuously since 1903

[@dr.hugog.hackenbush9443]

And rifles, sewing machines, etc..

[@bryanmoffitt5823]

Absolutely love seeing these older bikes!

[@MegaYogib]

I had a 91 Jacky martens replica 610mx. It was built for the 4 stroke nationals. It was ported,pipe,lightened flywheel,web cam.lots of titanium goodies,It was Stupid FAST! I remember when Decoster rode Martens factory 610 and said it was the fastest bike he had ever ridden.

[@jeanjacquesduda706]

very nice 610 husky ,vintage cool machine ,thank you guys ,1993 is amazing

[@JV-wq6xb]

Love it! I had the 350 WXC.. great thumper 4 stroke.. I had a ton of fun on it. Got tough to get parts in the late 2000s.

[@eddiebones20]

I've got what I believe to be this bike "350 WXC" awaiting restoration. Any tips where to find parts?

[@vangeliskarachalios]

My dad had bought a brand new 1985 husky wr 400 2 stroke when he was 20 , and he also had a 510 shortly after which blew up, so he got a xr600 !

[@delete5058]

Jamie Cunningham from Goulburn, N.S.W, Australia won the World title on this awesome motorcycle.

[@jcsquared1111]

Simply love all your vids!! You and your pops rock!! The passion you both dosplay is just a pleasure to watch. And stumbling upon your vids 2 years back, were instrumental in gwtting me back on a dirt bike, as I stopped riding at 18 and am now 43. Scooped up 2021 Beta 250RRfully street legal rippa. Thanks for the spark man!!

[@purebloodheretic4682]

The 610 Huskys Look Sick, Unfortunately Notorious for Blowing Motors! I Guess that's why they're Rare these Days, I'll Stick to my Trusty '90 Xr's Only XR600r👍😉

[@grahamcox8385]

These people are absolutely brilliant and just fun

[@mig2546]

My dads mate had one of them for enduro. Seems like a blast to ride

[@russellcarter213]

I remember being in Germany and seeing one of these in a shop. I thought to myself the XRs are dead! And boy was I right… I’d love to see you guys get ahold of a auto two stroke, the best I remember there was no top speed recorded because it never topped out 😳

[@mhm8222]

I saw Terry Cunningham on a auto at the Blackwater 100 back in the day..

[@TheAleCheck]

Russell, i had a. Husqvarna 1991 610TE for my 18th birthday, on Sept '91. It was the last one with round shape front light and one single exhaust on the left, and it was a MONSTER!!!! I'm 6'8 and well fitted at the time, and still cant keep that monster from wheeling till 4th gear!!! It had enduro (long) gears, pinion and crown were 17 and 49 if i remeber well, and on an Italian motorcicles magazine they tested mine, against a KTM 600, an Honda 600 XR and an Yamaha TT 600, basically the rivals.. Mine was the only with 6 gears (5 gears all the others), it was the lightest (112kg), the most powerfull (around 56hp) biggest torque, and they tested how fast they were: the HUSKY reached 188,8 km/h !!!! The final ranking was: 1st the 610TE, 2nd the KTM, 3rd the XR and 4th the TT.

[@andrewrouse1829]

When two strokes were open class and men were scared the big Huskie is a proper hard to tame beast but don't you just love em 💯👍💯👌

[@remonschaft2090]

Jacky martens is world champion 1993 on a husqvarna 610..jacky and husqvarna are responsible for the whole fourstroke revolution.

[@chefkochhuskyman578]

He had also the 633cc stroker motor😉

[@shaunpc2512]

I gotta admit that this bike is 100 percent the perfect dual sport machine. 👌🏻

[@loomspace]

Wow that thing is mint! I have a 99 tc610, reed oil pump, 4 speed trans, original dellorto carb, absolute monster and an absolute charmer. Def a never get rid of bike, hope this one goes to a great home if it's for sale. 🤙

[@dirtbikedave]

I've ridden one (also 93) on a 'vintage' MX track. So much smooth power and a plush ride. It would be a great dually. A bit under sprung for its weight. Not an MX bike, but that never stopped it..! I feel it's superior to any Japanese 'equivalent', in every regard (other than dependability). I almost bought it, but it developed a trans and kicker issue, while I slept on it. So it's still available. If anyone is interested in a $1,200 project with fresh head / valve work, it's all there and runs. The owner likes pick-up trucks, for trades. Located an hour north of MidOhio (the home of the annual AMA vintage motorcycle days events).

[@chefkochhuskyman578]

Great bike! I still own 3 of them, a 91, 92 and 95. One even with the 633cc factory race kit (stroker kit) and one with now bored to 605cc (original only 577cc) due to the many motor damages.. Use very god oil, change every 500miles or so and don't full throttle it longer as you can hold breath was the secret😉

[@Learn-more610]

Thing looks crazy!

[@goavegas4874]

I had one back then,it was a beast,ton of torque.

[@anthonytamilio9501]

This bike is really ahead of its time

[@tomaszchomiak6705]

Miałem taką Husqvarna TE610 rzeczywista pojemność silnika to 570ccm. Motocykl był bardzo silny i precyzyjny w prowadzeniu. Kolega na KTM525 zawsze jechał z tyłu i wącchał dym za Husqvarna. Silnik jest bardzo lekki bo nie ma pompy oleju i filtra oleju co doprowadzało do częstych awarii i krótkiego życia silnika mimo częstych wymian oleju co jakieś 300km przebiegu. Wspominam ten motocykl z radością w sercu. Pozdrawiam z Polski całą ekipę Kaplan.

[@posniknelb6114]

I'm loving those twin pipes. Would like a bit more noise from them, though. Even so, what a trick looking bit of kit.

[@MitzvosGolem1]

I had a 1986 510 xc never would kick start had to push start. Four stroke heavy ng. That one is nice.. Smooth for trails.

[@deannewberry5628]

That's why I wanted this bike because it won the 93 World Grand Prix 500cc GP... told all my friends that the four strokes are coming they thought I was crazy

[@leevail3729]

That's what dreams are made of right there!

[@chillon2922X]

A 94 was my first motorcycle. This one is in perfect shape Owner tip: cam shafts are very rare. buy a spare one. Great bike. Big fun.

[@tomtheplummer7322]

All that in ‘93👍🏻

[@niguk5075]

I had a 1987 510 in motocross form. sometimes used to backfire and blow the carb off the intake boot. It also was a wheelie machine. One I wished I had kept.

[@dirtbikedave]

Hah! The 93 610 that I rode also blew the carb out of the intake boot when the throttle went from cruising, to closed, then whacked wide-open! We were all amazed.

[@jimbo4203]

Bought a new Husqvarna cr 250 in 85' excellant bike , had Ohlins suspension that was awesome back then

[@douglasvines2037]

I love that bike it takes me back to the bike my dad never got me but I still want one great bike

I rode one of these once, just a monster of a machine.

I had 2 610TE’s the second was a 2002 it was mental. First one was 1997

[@markbucsenac5835]

Always put out great videos

[@snakevale198444]

Those and the early husabergs are both torque monsters in fact I used to have trouble riding them in the trails because I really didn't weigh enough to put the power to the ground they make so much torque hard to keep the back tire from spinning off road. If I was going to build the ultimate supermoto it would probably be a husaberg 650. They don't rev out the highest but they have more torque than a xr650r way way ahead of there time! Ktm bought out husaberg and redeveloped the engine they managed to improve the maintenance intervals by ALOT!

[@bryanatx84]

Loving my Husky 2020 FX450. My father has a kawasaki XLR250 ,same year that was in roadhouse barn explosion scene, that needs some minor work to run again, but is pretty much mint. This reminds me of that bike. Tons of torque but heavy with the metal tank and frame. Blew out front forks and rear shock on it jumping a massive table top when I was younger.

[@MrKdr500]

2020 Husky is a white KTM, old Husqvarna's were swedish.

[@sonnyseabury4051]

Very nice looking enduro. Has the high quality of parts on it, that my GasGas has..Bike looks very quick.

[@matthewjdouglas6471]

That's fast. Very powerful

[@PJHEATERMAN]

I had a 2000 TE610. loved the motor. It was capable of 100 mph out of the crate. Suspension was horrible on mine and the weight at close to 300 pounds was a bitch on single track. Fire roads brought out the dirt tracker style.

[@williamrobarge3111]

I'd love to own that bike

[@ABCDEFGHIJKELA...]

That is a BADASS bike there!

this is a nice bike!

[@elasticsoldier0257]

My dad use to own a TC610 and when it rode it at our local track I could hit jumps on it and whip it flat every time ,, at the same time I use to own a husaberg 600 and handling wise that didn’t come close to how well the TC use to handle.

[@noahbeckstead8600]

Bike is 8 years older than me I’m almost 21 that thing looks as if it was new!

[@sambo_rambo1997]

I had a Husqvarna te610 97 it went amazingly well new tyre lasted me maybe 3 rides and that was just ride time no burnouts or anything only thing was they have factory engine rattle and are really ard to start when hot

[@NEtrailrider1]

What a great bike in excellent condition, had a wxc 350 think it was a 94 raced H.S. with it was a little heavy but very fast .

[@nickrapsomanikis]

Got the '06 SM version as a daily, love it to death.

[@preditorsd]

I owe and ride TC610

[@KowboyUSA]

Always wanted a Husky, but had to settle for a few of their chainsaws.

[@chillon2922X]

But the chainsaws where from a other husqvarna. They spilt somewhere. That's why huskys where made in italy since the 80s by cagiva. Just for the record ;)

[@OzTwanger]

I had the TE 300. Awesome bike

[@DasMO0]

i am pretty sure the tail isn't original. Looks like a tc 510 tail 06-12. Mint bike tho. Fun fact... if you compare the old 2-stroke huskys (also the 1983 250 ;D) to the 610 engine you will see many similarities. the 610 engine is a descendend from the ancient 2-stroke husky-engines.

[@matthewpage5702]

Love it .💯👌

[@camillo7834]

Powerful!!amazing

[@purplepup8897]

You can find that bottom end torque pretty easy on a 650l, only issue is you gotta drop 2 teeth on the countershaft and add 2 on the back which absolutely kills your top end speed. Makes a heck of a woods bike though lol

[@stuartsmith7618]

One of the first big cc bikes I ever road and loved it after a few brown trouser moments of course 😂🤣😂. So if you had to choose from honda or husqvarna what would you choose

[@jasonrutherford1722]

BEAST!!!!

[@sashabanchi8679]

Isn't this the model that came with no oil pump from the factory but just splash lubrication ?

[@kingkong81icloud]

I love that bike an am left footed for kick start

[@findvoltage]

What a wicked bike. Shit, i wish i had of seen this thing on a track. Id have been sold

[@coryellis12]

I guess you would have to learn to love or even like the sound of a 610cc 4-stroke

[@danarussell4246]

Curious if Billy ever made it down to any of the Delaware National Enduro's back in mid 80's. We use to get a lot of riders from New England. I remember a couple rows of guy from I think they were Rhody Rovers and some Prince Edward or something like that. We use to draw about 500 riders. We've since lost all land permissions have no enduro. I think the club hosted a little over 50. On 80's we always drew all the National Teams and Husky was king back then.

[@jeff40]

I knew Honda wasn't the first off-road/mx bíke to come with dual pipes!

[@rangerxlt3]

Now thats a thumper!

[@24BLUEELMO]

A true dual exhaust would be sweet.

[@daveyt4802]

Need some more 4 strokes! I had a 1985 Yamaha XT600 for 15 years.

[@marceloendosruedas]

Let me comment 2 things as an ex proprietor of a Honda NX 650 (same motor as the XR650). First they are two complete different bikes, this is a beast, raw power, thoroughbred since inception, no comparison can be made. Second, the others may probably be "slugs" as you say, but let's find spare parts for this '92 model...you´ll have to look up a lot, but on the other hand you can restore (or almost build from cero) any XR 600 / 650.

[@francklafontan4497]

Super bike , this problème in Europe Many, Many pepeole broken!! Ils n'ot sûre bike👏👏✌️🇨🇵

[@Tarquine1]

The same base engine as the original 510TE HVA from SWEDEN.

[@crispincurtis8585]

What's it weigh? Husqvarna has been around as long as H-D😎🤙

[@Patricks_Projects]

Reading between the lines one starts to understand how good the Swedish tech was at the 80´s You are getting this impressions from this bike, and i know that this still is the swedish developed frame and engine. Look at it closely and you´ll see the engine´s bottom end is the 'same' as the old twostrokers from late 70´s up to -87 Many parts in these te610´s fits the old twostrokers.

[@Sadprince298]

what a beauty

I love how you said Husqvarna haha, good try. Such a cool bike, first time Ive seen one. I love how they are using blue and yellow considering the Swedish flag. They are proud.

[@MrKdr500]

Husaberg was created by original Husqvarna engineers and they were at the forefront of 4 stroke motocross bikes and KTM bought Husaberg for the 4 stroke tech.

[@geremiajonathan1814]

Real monster

[@petergriffin4629]

I have some knowledge to share on Husqvarna so maybe somebody here appreciates that. Though first a question probably nobody can answer, I have always wondered how similar the 610 Jacky martens rode in the GPs was to this bike. I personally assume that it only shared the name and was a prototype works engine. Interestingly, what he said about Husqvarna in the 50s is not technically correct. The leading motocross bike brands in the fifties were all british in the 500cc class and four strokes and German and two strokesin the 250 class, which was not called a world championship by then. In the 500s the british bikes were the absolute standard, so far that many swedish bikes ridden at that time were mainly in imperial units because they derived parts from the british bikes. The legend of the swedish four-stroke bikes is interestingly focused around one dude who had a workshop in his houses cellar. That man's name is Nisse Hedlund, he tuned and designed engines starting in the late 50s. The world titles that the major swedish brands garnered in that time, are all run on bikes with engines built by this single man, in different frames under different badges. Hedlund would later build his own engines for sidecar and solo racing, which garnered their largest success in the sidecar series. Towards the newer history, as we all know that Husqvarna is the last of the real husqis because the brand was bought by BMW and later sold as an empty brand badge to KTM. Most of you probably know that the core Designers at Husqvarna left the company during that acquisition and founded Husaberg, which went on to build the craziest four stroke dual sports and supermoto single cylinders to this day. What most of you however probably do not know is that after Husaberg was also falling apart and being bought by KTM to just use the badge, these engineers came together to form yet another brand. They were called highland motors and I don't know how many bikes they ever built it is probably less than 1000, but those were true beasts to behold. They turned the 600 husaberg single into a 1000 V2 similar to the LC8 of KTM, just witht the difference that the highland has a curb weight of 155kg. Enough of a story time from me
