    Husqvarna Baja?

    Any body had anything to do with these bikes, are they available in NZ?? It is the first bike since my XR 600 that I have seen that I would buy from new, just from looking at it. But are they any good????

    90% of all Harleys built are still on the road... The other 10% made it back home...

    Tis a shame in my opinion, I really like the 80,s styling. Mixed with late model technology is just ubber sexy to me.

    I think I would remortgage my house to get me one of these huskys, if they actually get released that is. Funny, I thought they had for some reason.

    Damn, that is nice too. Any idea why it never made it to production?

    The Baja is a nice looking bit of kit, eh?

    It is a bit grim, but amongst that lot is this......

    Radical meaning dumping everything and putting an end to the existing Husaberg and Husqvarna machines, and introducing a full range of truly NEW machines. And of course, this new generation of bikes should be the best things that can come out of the Husky, Husa and KTM mix, possibly some sort of ultra-bikes, if you get my point.

    With no more street bikes to think of, the new Husqvarna will only be focused on the enduro and MX segments, and try to sell some sort of alternative to KTM... though the dough will end up in the same pocket.


    This could include the baja??? Hope so, cos I really really like the look of that bike.

    Looks like it, some different bikes in there though, that engines a later version but the tank looks XL250/350. Not entirely sure about the frame...

    Looks alright in a "built for posing on dry sunny days and not for riding" kind of way

    Any functional motorcyle had decent front and rear guards on it
