During the 1960s and ‘70s, Swedish manufacturer Husqvarna’s lightweight two-stroke bikes helped them to fourteen motocross championships in the 125cc, 250cc and 500cc categories, 24 enduro world championships and 11 Baja 1000 victories. Produced during the height of their success in enduro racing, the Husqvarna WR360 GP garnered an enviable reputation for its off-road performance, becoming the top choice for motocross riders the world over.
In purchasing this rare UK-supplied, road-registered 1978 example, you’ll be able to explore some of the great off-road lanes that the UK has to offer and compete in Classic Twinshock MX Racing championships. Having been restored sometime in the past and still in full working order, this Husqvarna is a fantastic example that’s ready to ride.
