No reason for the name change, l have 125 cr husky 74 model, husky 125 82 model which will be for sale, 76 model 125 husky model and that will be my vinduro bike and l would like to buy a 250 67 model  husky like l had or a 400 viking or cross round case model husky ,and if that doesn`t happen, well l will look at a different make and model but it must be pre 70 era, l drive a saab so it good to keep it in the swedish family.

I'm pretty sure Gary doesn't have that bike. I think I will be seeing Gary this week so I will ask him and let you know.

Whilst it's an interesting bike and I was told it was built because Montesa didn't make a 73 open class bike. I was told also that it had special factory parts in the motor.
Would be a nice pre 75 open class bike bike but you could also build one if you really wanted to.

I have a dvd with Gary racing this bike as well as other makes and model from 67 to 73, I am sure this 360 was very well sorted out, LyalI was no fool and Alf berry was machanically witch on  too, Gary had the backing from the day he started racing to the day he stopped, and l was sorry to see him stop when he did, he was a top rider and very much a front runner very time he pulled that clutch in. I personally looked up to gary, l have  practise with him, i have raced him and l have won against him, he was a champion rider and l would like to know the whereabout of that VR 360.

im starting to think i might have the frame...as ive got a vr frame but the brake pedal and mount have been added to the left side of bike and there is a few other tabs also welded on wich makes me think an older gp engine was once fitted..i will check the numbers and post on just incase someone can confirm
