I'm not really a fan of the Rockstar logo and color scheme of the current Factory Husqvarna team but for a year or two over in MXGP we were treated with what I consider to be one of the most beautiful machines, ever. The Red Bull Ice One Factory Husqvarna of Max Nagl. Being a Factory Edition KTM guy, I always love the look of the Red Bull graphics but this pops really nicely with the white, blue and yellow with Red Bull accents.

What a lovely machine, beautiful graphics, seat. This is so nice. Smile

It's sad that they went with Rockstar. Those bikes(especially the 2016 new gen model) were probably the best looking factory bikes in US and GPs in my opinion.

Agreed...the next gen version...Todd Waters bike...looked even better. Yeah, I agree. Just doesn't look anywhere as good with the Rockstar theme. But what can you do?

I also think the 16 stock bike may be one of the best stock bikes, looks wise, ever. The Rockstar theme and colors just mess this up for me.

Those blue anodized hubs and triple clamps.... Reminds me of a Van Halen song.

Couldn't agree more. That bike is the screen saver on my iPad.

No comprende? I understand they have the same color structure but we're talking Husky, not Yammer.

Agreed... Love the simplistic, iconic look of the big H logo on the shroud. Then again, I'm probably biased due to my 1992 WXC360 Smile But yes, the bike posted by the OP is absolutely stunning

I love the look of the new graphics and the past, but that exhaust, shew. That thing looks like it's double the normal size on that bike. Smaller exhaust would be a great thing, but it is what it is.

The logo is a gun sight from the days when they made rifles...

That graphic kit will go right on besides on the front becasue u have a headlight mask not a standard number plate.
Everything else is the same shape.

Like the Rockstar ones ten times better, lol...
Apart from the fact that I hate this f*** stupid bull, I really wonder how one can find that blue, yellow and red is a nice color combo...
Sick
Guess everyone's tastes are different.

I agree with you on the 16 huskys looking the best. I have a 16 tc125 and my dad 16 tc250. My 125 is getting backgrounds made and fmf 2.1 ti muffler. Might eventually do the red bull sticker kit. The white/blue/yellow is awesome color combo on both gen bikes. The 17 went all white and looks a little boring for me now.

The bike in truck is a cagiva,they ruined the cagiva name here by 1990 and rebadged. The castings will still say cagiva with some things saying gilera like cases and frame.

Even the ones I raced up thru 03 had cagiva on some pieces.

Cagiva bought husqvarna from electrolux in 86 ,I think they still own the trademark.

I raced the last ones made in Sweden in 86,a 250 and 430 then the cagivas.

Cagiva is from 3 things, the CA is for castolini (sp?) The GI is gioni or something,the 2 families that started it and VA is varse Italy .

They were built in the old harley factory there ,hence the big number one on the cagiva logo, they left the sign out front just adding red and green stripes with a elephant. No idea what the elephant meant.

Good times one those bikes.

I love the fact that I can buy a lot of aftermarket parts for my 150 KTM that are Husky blue. Orange and blue look so good together.

Davy stribo or strybo won the 1st in 86 maybe, they gave me a 87 125 replica in 88 just so I could ride 3 classes.
