Guys, it's not Yamahaha or Honada. It's not KT-a-M. Or Kawasasaki.

It's not Husk-a-varna.

The Swedes even say Hoosk-varna. But that's like dance or darnce. France or Frarnce. Unbelievable or the Irish oon-believable.

Husqvarna. Three syllables.

I know this 'cause I used to deal with the Swedish reps from the company. Here's a video to back me up if you need to be convinced.



Spread the word. The right word. Or get the 300 year old company to change its name, just for you.

My work here is done.

Thank you.

Is it Husk, or Hoosk though? That's the real question.

All them downvotes because some people can't have a bit of fun.

Why so serious?

Isn’t the Austrian pronunciation proper now?

It's pronounced White KTM. That's what it says in my TC owner manual

YES... finally.... Seems only Americans doing it... And especially in the testing and shootouts. Instantly loose cred when they can't even pronounce!

Felpro, yes, three syllables! It is silly how some commentators in the US mispronounce this brand all the time; it is almost like they do it on purpose.

Seems to be a trend… in non Moto there’s a “show us you cat” thread I wrote my wife owns the cat and I can’t put pics of it up Blink got 3 down votes from some ass hats that have turned into kittens themselves……

According to my Grand Nephew, it's HuskyBanana!

So, that's it, stop arguing, or a 4 year old will sort you all out, Angry you bunch of Drongos.

This is kinda funny because I hear more and more people here in the swedish pits say "Husqa-warna" with an amercan accent, when talking about the brand. It just sounds more fun.

Its Hus-kvarna btw.

Yeah...we can't even get MOTO CROSS right, so it shouldn't be a surprise.

DC, racers, and media say motorcross (or have said so in the past) so this shouldn't be a shocker.
