twin shock wr 510's
« on: June 09, 2014, 08:35:02 pm »
how many came into Australia? anyone able to find out??

I know of 1 in Victoria and two in NSW and im sure there would have been a few in qld (they are husky happy up there)

I believe there were only 1984 models (plastic tank) imported into Australia but happy to be proven wrong

does anyone know hans applegren? he would know of the back of his hand...

We have 3 twin shock EVO's racing in our club BMCC 2 x TE's and 1 x TX. I own the TX and I know of another TX in north QLD. There are at least 4 water cooled pre 90 510's in Brissy and 2 x air cooled pre 90's. There is at least 3 or 4 hidden in sheds ready for restoration around brissy gold coast but still waiting for them to surface.
My TX is an original Oz sold bike I met the original owners brother at Classic dirt 9, it was later owned by Tony Mcmahon from retro racing, still has the retro sticker on the swingarm. I am the third owner since retro racing and it will never be sold. Regards

Husky anorak alert.. 8)  WR 510?? Don't exist! TE, TX, 510 and TC 500 are the four stroke twin shock models as Glenn mentioned.

your right, old nomenclature issues...any enduro version is a "wr" to the unwashed masses 8)

I caught up with ol mate who managed to snag a TE in 1984
He bought 1 of 3 or 4 bought into the country for the 84 4day enduro husky team. (it could have been for the ISDE but I would have thought they would be in Europe?)

he had ordered a bike on hearing about them in mid 83 but was told it was unlikely he could get one.

Pelle Grandquist apparently broke a leg and couldn't ride and his bike was then shipped down to Bendigo to fill the long standing order. ol mate couldnt believe his luck.

it was a stunning bike at the time. I rode it a few times and was mightily impressed!

be interesting to see if this actually occurred or if more were imported in 84/85
