Always nice to see a Husky with a little chrome on its tank!

This was a great success for us who have worked to produce a very good Husqvarna motorcros to the 1978 Motocross GP. Together with Carla had been proven that we had the opportunity to win the championship in motorcross

In 1979 in the US GP at Unadilla NY, I saw Hakan and his Husqvarna start the first moto, by the second lap he was at least 1400 meters ahead of second place. His upper shock bolt broke and he pulled off. Looking at his conditioning, he probably would have won and clinched the World Championship in the first heat. The second moto would have been something to see if that happened. The actual second moto he preserved and finished third to clinch the title. To see a rider taking it easy to clinch a title and still finish ahead of so many great riders was something to see. RIP

В СССР мы их знали из журналов, в шлеме, а лиц невидели, но знали что это самые крутые!

Is it all two stroke bikes?

[@TommyGMalm]

Yes, During these years, two-stroke technology dominated motorcross, 100%

@@TommyGMalm but there were also scramblers like BSA twinshockers I know about it

[@kurtvonfricken6829]

The only 4 stroke in that era that was remotely competitive and raced was the Yamaha TT 500. I don't remember one ever winning.

Flimsy Varna most unreliable bikes ever made and the proof is the Austrians make them now. Their KTMs
