The following is a press release that came from Husqvarna in regards to its future under the KTM/Husaberg banner.
We wont have long to wait to see where this is going, but the statement makes it clear that the Husky models we know today will not be what we see carrying the name at the end of the year.
HUSQVARNA AND HUSABERG REUNITED
“WE BRING TOGETHER WHAT BELONGS TOGETHER”
The year 2013 will be remembered in motorcycling history as the year that Husqvarna was reborn.
HUSQVARNA STARTS A NEW ERA OF GREAT SUCCESS
Following the acquisition of Husqvarna by Pierer Industries AG and after careful analysis and evaluation of all aspects, it was decided to reunite what came out of shared roots 25 years ago. In other words, Husqvarna will enter a positive new era by combining its own rich heritage with Husaberg’s state-of-the-art technology.
