The Germans will take advantage of Husqvarna’s distribution line, specialized on light weight motorcycles and of their know-how regarding motorsport.
BMW Motorrad produced, last year over 100,000 motorcycles, only engines with over 500 cc.
On the other way, Husqvarna (which is a part of MV Agusta) produced over 12,000 motorcycles with engines between 125 cc and 610 cc, most of them with only one cylinder.
