I'd be surprised if SWM uses a "Husky" engine. Remember, Husky is owned by KTM ... has been a few years now. A Husqvarna is now just a KTM in slightly different spec and set up with differences to body work/graphics.
The old "Italian" Huskies are long gone ... or are they? Maybe SWM are using left over Engines from Italy? But wouldn't KTM own those ...? Or BMW ? (BMW sold Husqvarna to KTM ... very cheap!)
Not sure KTM would approve supplying engines to a Chinese competitor ... and Bajai (who own half KTM) may not either ... or ... ??? maybe this "Husky" engine is one produced in India? (like 390 Duke) I've heard they would be having more involvement in KTM/Husky product line.
Anyone know for sure the true manufacture origin of the Minarelli engine?
I did not know Pirelli was in Chinese hands. I guess in Italy, everything is for sale. Changing world indeed.
