My recent research on off-road/dirt/motocross motorcycle makers turn up Husaberg, a brand I had not heard before.

As mentioned on the last Husqvarna post, it was stared by former employee of Husqvarna.

Check out their website and you will soon see that the people behind this company a passionate lot.

You will like the easy access to information and download of owner manuals and repair manuals.

Husqvarna, a ‘q’ not followed by ‘u’ is certainly not English. A Swedish company, is was sold to Cagiva in 1987. So the brand is Italian now.

Interestingly, the former employees of Husqvarna started another brand, Husaberg. Husaberg was then acquired by KTM, an Austria company.

Is there really a Nami brand as mentioned in Supercross, The Movie?

Never heard of it.
But beside Honda, Yamaha and Suzuki (mentioned by Nami’s president in the movie), there are indeed some other dirt bike brands.

I could think of KTM, Gas Gas and Husqvarna.

Our motorcycle manufacturer tour will next visit them in turns.
