Originally a Swedish Armaments firm, Husqvarna expanded into motorcycle production in 1903. During the 1930s, the firm built innovative 350cc 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 Caviga Group and Husqvarna production was relocated to Italy.
