KTM and Bajaj have bough the Swedish two-wheeler company, Husqvarna to India. Specialized in retro and dirt motorcycles, Husqvarna is launching the Svartpilen 250 and Vitpilen 250 in India next year.
Both the motorcycles were recently unveiled at the IBW 2019. While the Svartpilen is a neo-scrambler-type roadster, the Vitpilen is a neo-cafe racer. Both of them are based on Duke 250, using the same engine and components.
Now, reports suggest that Husqvarna is also bringing the Svartpilen 200 to India. It has been recently unveiled and does not look that different from the Svartpilen 250. It will be based on the Duke 200, using the same engine and its same Steel Trellis frame.
