Man that is a really, really long bow to draw. What next? That every silver Mercedes has its roots in Fangios streamliner.  :(

A bike with a Red tank and chrome panels doesn't establish any kind of link to the original Husky. Pure marketing trying to cash in on McQueens name.

Pretty shameless if you ask me. It is one thing to pay homage, it is another to simply rip off.

CR%P IMHO...  more cafe latte than Moab!!!

 think it is really cool..... Husqvarna has a great heritage and they need to capitalize on it, that's what sells bikes. Harley, Triumph, Ducati, all niche brands have retro in the line up.

I think Husky are missing an opportunity, if they built a retro would probably find a market especially in the USA where Steve McQueen is an icon, middle aged fat guys would be riding them about with no shirts on living the dream.
