“Pioneering Since 1903”
Husqvarna Motorcycles GmbH is a Swedish-Austrian motorcycle manufacturer headquartered in Mattighofen, Austria, and a subsidiary of Pierer Mobility AG (also parent of KTM, GASGAS and MV Agusta). The Husqvarna Motorcycles brand traces to 1903, when Swedish industrial conglomerate Husqvarna AB (founded 1689 as a weapons foundry) launched its first motorcycle. Husqvarna AB sold the motorcycle division to Cagiva (Italy) in 1986; BMW Motorrad acquired Husqvarna in 2007; KTM AG (now Pierer Mobility) acquired Husqvarna from BMW in 2013.
Husqvarna Motorcycles produces motocross (TC, FC), enduro (TE, FE), supermoto (SM, FS), street motorcycles (Vitpilen, Svartpilen) and adventure motorcycles (Norden 901). The brand's motocross and enduro lineup leverages KTM technology and chassis through the Pierer Mobility platform-sharing structure, while maintaining distinct yellow-and-black livery, premium-positioned street design language, and an Italian-Swedish-Austrian heritage marketing emphasis. Husqvarna Motorcycles is separate from the still-operating Husqvarna AB (which produces lawn equipment, chainsaws and outdoor power products).
Husqvarna's parent Pierer Mobility trades on the SIX Swiss Exchange and Vienna Stock Exchange under PMAG. Recall data for every Husqvarna Motorcycles VIN sold in the US is reported to NHTSA. ForCar.org decodes any Husqvarna Motorcycles VIN to surface trim, factory options, open recalls and original delivery price.

Husqvarna heritage
Husqvarna AB was founded in 1689 in Huskvarna, Sweden, as a weapons foundry for the Swedish Army. The company diversified into bicycles in 1872, sewing machines in 1872, and motorcycles in 1903. Husqvarna motorcycles dominated motocross World Championships in the 1960s and 1970s. The 1986 sale to Cagiva moved production to Italy. BMW Motorrad acquired Husqvarna from MV Agusta (Cagiva successor) in 2007 to expand into the off-road market. KTM AG acquired Husqvarna from BMW in 2013 and integrated production with KTM's Mattighofen factory. The 2024 Pierer Mobility acquisition of MV Agusta consolidated four motorcycle brands under one parent.
Market position
Husqvarna Motorcycles competes in the global motocross, enduro, supermoto, street and adventure motorcycle segments. Within Pierer Mobility, Husqvarna serves the premium end of the motocross and enduro market with the Vitpilen / Svartpilen street range competing with KTM Duke 390 and Royal Enfield Continental GT. The brand's motocross and enduro line shares chassis and engines with KTM but maintains distinct styling, color schemes and dealer networks.
