Old School New Husky

[Goosedog]

Oberdan Bezzi, an Italian designer is proposing enduro bikes with up-to-date frames , engine , suspensions but with the classic look of seventies/eighties. Here's his take on the Husky.

Sorry if this is a repost, saw it on another site and I'm just passing it along. Looks awesome though, don't it.

Works for me as long as the seat height is around 30 inches.And the tank will hold 3 gallons.

A thing of beauty to us old timers. Id take one.

Did yall see the pic of Kent Howerton on an old school Husky in this month's AMA magazine. Good stuff.

Thats one bad-a$$ looking bike but I'm not sure how well it can sell and of-course...what is its weight?

What about an air-cooled engine as an one-off machine also?

 

[Dirtdame]

I'd like a modern bike with seat foam that thick!

Let it go folks, those bikes were just a figment of your youth.

I'll take a CR250 2-stroke please.

Figment? I think not. They were real. When motocrossers were Swedish and gas tanks were aluminum :-)

Pull up a chair and let me tell you about my 'Pomeroy' Bultaco Pursang 250. Now that was a motocross bike, fast, light, easy to work on, minimal suspension ..... until the crank pin fell off mid race. Those were the days.

back in the day...when you wanted the baddest, meanest, most reliable motorcycle to win Enduros or race the Desert,,it was a Husky...alll those bikes were hand made, assembled by a craftsman, with pride.
i still have many Huskys from that vintage, my dad still owns his 88 510..more hard dirt bike miles on that old bike, rode every year since new, and still runs hard to this day, has never been rebuilt, runs the original piston, and top end.
my ol man is 67 and still rides hard, how many bikes made today will run hard every year for 22 years, including more then a few 100 mile Enduros, i doubt youll find one.
your right, they are my memorys, but they are great ones..
your welcome to come ride that new hot bike with my old iron anyday...hope you like the rocks..

It should be yellow and blue.

I'm a sucker for nostalgia, but I'll never miss drum brakes. Or 70's / 80's Italian electrics.
