Husky CR 500 Silverstreak

A good mate loaned me a copy of the MXA from 1982, which did a write up of the 82 Silver streak. Thought I would post it up for info.

And finally my Silverstreak...



What do you think, should it be ridden or put on display. It's only been ridden a couple of times since it came out of the factory.

Nice ! Was the cyl painted on 500 cr 82 ?

No it wasn't Michel, but I understand that some did come out of the factory painted.

I couldn't bring myself to ride that one. I would build another not original to ride. It's an awesome bike Bengt.

Nice bike! Take care of it!

mine will be going in about a month . will def be ridden .

You can always leave it with me I will take it on the European adventures this year

those bikes are of the "rare" type and it should be museumed... get a later 83 or 84 milker if you need to ride a 500.... lots of them about....

i almost agree . in that original condition i think it should be savored .
anyone that restores one and doesnt ride it a waste of parts imho

you mean like this other one of mine...it's got the correct ITC shocks and I've changed the blue rear sprocket before the "concourse" police raise it....

I don't want to museum the "Streak", but as it's only been ridden a couple of times since it left the factory it would be a shame to throw it down the track...

Preserve it and watch it's value grow rapidly. Ride it and see it's value diminish. Build a rider and save an extremely rare survivor.

Very nice bikes cylinder is unpaited on silverstreaks orginal.

I have five orginal bikes and three replicas

Bye Niklas

i kinda liked the blue sprocket, lol

Ride em all day long and worry about museums when your in one.
That said i would put track kit on it mud n a few tank dings so you dont feel too precious about it.

Let it rip!!

Lounge room for sure...once it gets a bit of mud patina on it, that's it!

Ride it, don't hide it. Museums are for old things that don't work (including people).
