Bengt, for last couple of years there's been a guy who made a beautiful running replica of this very Husqvarna V-twin model and who has shown it at the El Camino Classic Motorcycle Show near where I live here in California.

Here's a picture of the bike taken at this year's show and which was posted as a link in BA.com's Ride and Rallies forum a few weeks back...

Now, here's a question for ya:

I talked to the guy who made this, and he told me that there where no surviving bikes of this model in existence out there anymore, and that he built his bike from scratch using some existing records and blueprint that he had found through the process of a very involved search.

And so, do you know if the one which you've posted here and which looks to be in a museum (possibly the Husqvarna Museum, maybe?) is ALSO a replica, and thus would confirm to me that that guy was accurate with his facts?


Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
