The company’s recent history has been based around its off-road machinery but Husky has a long tradition of building street bikes dating back to grand prix racers in the early 1930s.
Priced at $17,595, the Husqvarna Svartpilen 701 is loaded with top-shelf componentry and rolls on an 18-inch front hoop and 17-inch rear, clad in dual-purpose Pirelli MT60 RS rubber.
