'''Husqvarna''' was originally a Swedish Armaments firm in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huskvarna Husqvarna, Sweden] which expanded into motorcycle production in 1903. In 1920 '''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]].

During the 1930s, the firm built innovative 350[[cc]] and 500cc V-twins that were raced successfully by riders including [[Stanley Woods]].  Husqvarna continued to build successful off-road competition machiens after roadster production was ended in the 1960s.  In 1986 the firm became part of the [[Cagiva]] Group and Husqvarna production was relocated to Italy. 
 
In July 2007, Husqvarna was purchased by [[BMW]] for a reported 93 million euros. BMW Motorrad builds '''Husqvarna Motorcycles''' as a separate enterprise. All development, sales and production activities, as well as the current workforce, have remained in place at its present location at Varese.<ref name="hsale">[http://www.roadracingworld.com/news/article/?article=29685 BMW Buys Husqvarna From MV Agusta] roadracingworld.com retrieved on [[September 30]], [[2007]]</ref>
