First unveiled at Intermot 2000, the NOX was Husqvarna’s take on a limited edition, no-holds-barred, top-shelf supermoto. The NOX boasted a full blacked out color scheme including a vast array of carbon bodywork. Contrasting the trick woven pieces are several titanium and blue-anodized parts.
Street Legal – 1976 Husqvarna 250 WR
The styling of the front fender doesn’t match the rest of the bike, but the dual-sport kit means that this iconic Husky is now street legal. Take the good with the bad, and then maybe take some time to get a different headlight and front fender. The 250 WR is one of Husqvarna’s most famous machines, as it was one …
1967 Husqvarna 360 Viking
Post Listing Update: This Viking did not meet reserve despite 15 bids up to $12,328 on eBay. 11-1-18 Update: Almost two years later, this rare Viking is again being offered by the same seller – but bidding is already higher than the two previous auctions ever got and there’s over 2 days left in the auction, so maybe it will …
Guest First Ride – 2018 Husqvarna Svartpilen and Vitpilen 401
View Post2006 Husaberg FS650E
Husaberg was acquired by KTM in 1995, but Bergs weren’t built in Austria until 2003. That new generation of bikes utilized many KTM parts, and the press loved the Austrian-Swedish hybrids. One of the interesting options was a dedicated supermoto called the FS650E. This example has been impressively modified and it needs someone to ride it aggressively.
Outboard Motor Powered GP Racer – 1974 König 500
The König 500 and Kim Newcombe will be forever intertwined, as you can’t tell the story of one without the other. The tale of the Kiwi and his outboard motor-powered GP racer is an unlikely one, boasting equal parts triumph and tragedy. Born in New Zealand in 1944, Newcomb was raised in Auckland where he discovered two passions early on: …
1938 DKW Diamant
Post Listing Update: This Diamant did not meet reserve with just 2 bids up to $1,500. In Sweden, one of the most popular early motorcycles was the DKW-powered Diamant. Per the seller, the Diamant was “sold for about 400kr ($50), which represented about 2 months of salary for an industrial worker.“
Rare in the US – 1998 Husqvarna 50cc Scooter
Claimed to be one of just 200 scooters that were originally built for the Italian market, this 2-stroke liquid-cooled Husky scooter is in “perfect cosmetic condition” and it’s said to be the only one in the US. Husky collectors, assemble!
Ending Soon – 1983 Husqvarna 500 XC
Post Sale Update: This Husky sold for $4,100 after 37 bids on eBay. In 1983, Husqvarna introduced a new 500cc motor for their Open Class bikes, and they promptly won the 1983 Baja 1000 in 14:48:10 with the US team of Dan Smith and Dan Ashcraft. While there were obviously plenty of modifications to the race bike, the production motorcycle …
102 Miles – 1982 Husqvarna 430WR
Post Sale Update: This Husky sold for $5,700 after 38 bids on eBay. In 1981, Husqvarna released a new motor for their Open class platform. Even though it was the smallest in a class of 500cc bikes at 430cc, the engine made up for it with a wide and predictable powerband. Thanks to a rest of about 35 years, this …
First Husky Two Stroke – 1939 Husqvarna Model 301
Post Sale Update: This Husky sold for the BIN of $5,695. Here’s a good way to confuse your riding buddies – tell them you’re about to buy a two-stroke Husky and then show up with this! Here’s a Model 301, also known as the Ornen (which translates to “Eagle”). It was Husky’s first two-stroke motorcycle.
Go Anywhere – 2016 Husqvarna 701 Enduro

1 of 300 – 2002 Husqvarna NOX
I’ve mentioned this a couple of times before, but my favorite bikes to share on Bike-urious are the ones I’ve never heard of before. So here’s another one I enjoyed researching – the Husky NOX. It’s basically a supermoto race bike with the bare minimum that the feds required for a motorcycle to be street legal, and just from looking …
Street Legal – 2007 Husqvarna SMR450 with CR500 Motor
5 years ago, I saw one of my favorite posts of all time on BikeEXIF – a crazy person had stuffed a CR500 motor into a Husqvarna supermoto to create a “Husqvonda.” It was a street-legal monster that was said to put down “80-85 horsepower to the rear wheel.” The bike isn’t in show condition any more, but it’s still …
Ducati Forks – 2007 Husqvarna SMR450 Custom
SMR stands for Super Moto Race, which should tell you everything you need to know about this bike. Though it was street legal from the dealership, this bike would be wasted on most public roads. It’s for the most aggressive curves you can find – hopefully within a few minutes of your house, otherwise you should be trailering it! These …
