Husqvarna and The Baja 1000 Race.

[blazes]

Just some useless info as far as Husqvarna resukts go on the racing of the BAJA 100o Race.

From 1967 till 1983 they seemed to have done Pretty well IMHO. Thereafter Honda Rules. What happened was it Cagiva that seemed to f the bike up or were they just not interested in developing it or racing it after they bought it from Sweden.????
