BMW and Husqvarna Motorcycles launch TR 650 Strada and TR 650 Terra
Two powerful characters for on-road and off-road riding
Husqvarna Motorcycles, the oldest motorcycles in the world with an uninterrupted production record, extends
its program of highly agile, dynamic single-cylinder motorcycles by adding two attractive new machines – Husqvarna TR 650 Strada and TR 650 Terra.
Husqvarna re-entered the road bike segment in 2011 with the presentation of the Husqvarna Nuda 900 and Husqvarna Nuda 900 R models. These models, developed in collaboration with BMW Motorrad, likewise display Husqvarna’s typical pure, athletic and dynamic styling. The brand most recently provided a look ahead to further extension of the model range with the Husqvarna Concept MOAB, Husqvarna Concept Strada and Husqvarna Concept BAJA studies.
With the new Husqvarna TR 650 Strada and TR 650 Terra, Husqvarna Motorcycles continues its model offensive that began last year with the successful launch of its road models.
