    subsidiary company. whatever.
    actually, pierer bought husky because oftheir know-how in musket building ("husky roots"). he's looking for some cutting edge technology, now that he found out that elephants cannot make it across the alps.

    only 1 out of 37. that's a better "finish-line rate" than erzberg, but still not much.

    I beleive when hanabil left spain to enter the alps he had 37 elephants and 46,000 men when he entered Italy he has only 3 elephants and 26,000 men but he proved a point and was feared as a milatary man

    Boy are we off topic

    Oh I don't know, Cagiva made a bike called the elephant which donated the lower end and trans to the Husky 610 so there may be a way to tie this all together.:D

    Gday lads, 1st post, love your stuff. Just got a 3rd hand 07 wr250 off a KTM dealer, great machine, great shop. Was told they won't be the ones selling me parts in the future or presumably new Husqvarnas either, will be a separate entity. Might just be a West Oz thing.

    It should be noted this was only to the electric start 610, the competition left kick start 610 used the original swedish bottom end.
