Husqvarna was founded near the town Husqvarna, Sweden, in 1689 with the company starting out as a manufacturer of muskets and their logo still depicts a gun sight viewed from the end of the barrel. As with many motorcycle manufacturers, Husqvarna first began producing bicycles in the late 19th century but by 1903 they had begun manufacturing powered two wheelers. By the 1970s they were mainly known for their off-road bikes, popular in motocross and enduro events.

The WR 430 was the enduro version of the twin shock 430cc two stroke motocross bike, described by Cycle World magazine as “the best open-class enduro machine in existence” at the time. This example, part of a private collection for the last few years and last run about 6 months ago, has undergone an extensive restoration keeping a good degree of originality using many NOS parts. As well as the cosmetics being refinished to a high standard, most of the wear and tear items have been serviced or replaced. The bike is supplied with a V5C registration certificate and a list of all replaced and restored parts.
