Husqvarna Model 180 550cc 1927

The 1920s were a joyous period in Europe. The people were enjoying times of peace and celebrating life. Motorcycles were becoming extremely popular and Husqvarna made the most of the growing interest. Husqvarna introduced in the early twenties two models with their own side valve V-twin engine, of 992 cc and  550cc capacity, the latter labelled  model 180. At the time American V-twins were very popular sellers in Sweden, so it is no coincidence that the general layout of the model 180 bears a certain resemblance to the famous Indian Scout of the period. The carburettor fitted is an American Schebler, quite rarely seen on a European motorcycle. 

This Model 180 is a high quality Swedish product, fitted with full electrical equpment which consist Bosch electric lighting Bosch Horn and the very rare Bosch Batterie Box with their switch panel. This rare Husqvarna is in high quality restored condition.
