My new ride (but not a Kymco)

[ts1]

With Loncin (Peoples Republic of China) single cyl. engine.

Although a street bike, it performs much better on gravel than my Xciting.
And needs much less fuel.
Who can guess the brand?
Hint: very old mc company
Hint2: company name starts with "H*"

It actually looks like a trimmed up Enduro more than a strict street bike. How many cc's?

When you zoom in it looks like a pretty inexpensive bike. How is the component quality on a 1-10? 

Congrats!

[ts1]

Some might call it an Enduro, but it is the most innocent street bike they have. Their real Enduro/MX bikes are almost ready to race.

This bike is indeed not very expensive. Same local price as a Kymco Xciting 400i.
650cc, 43kW, 175kph, 187kg fueled.
73 mpg (US) @ 90kph, 55mpg @ 120kph. 10000km service interval.
Stainless exhaust, Metzeler Tourance EXP tires, Brembo brakes with Bosch ABS.
Imho some value for money. Of course long term quality has still to be verified.

Hint3: The company was founded in the 17th century and produces motorcycles since times where the name "Harley Davidson" was still unknown.

I'd say!


Hildebrand & Wolfmuller
It sounds like a Very cool bike. How is the Parts availability? Does the place you bought it supply parts?

Hildebrand & Wolfmuller

They patented the first "Motorrad" (=motorcycle) and started serial production 1894.

But my ride is a Husqvarna TR650 Strada.

[zombie]

I didn't find any new production Hide.'s so it was a guess.

I never would have thought of Husky I thought they went out in the early 8o's. Their old MX'ers ROCKED!

[ts1]

Husky has been alive all the time, although their mother company changed frequently.
1986 sold to the Cagiva Group
1996 to MV Augusta
2007 to BMW
2013 to KTM
But always keeping their brand name.

[zombie]

That's what I remembered... Cagiva taking them over.
I knew a kid that could not be beaten in the dirt. He rode a Cagiva 175 or 200... something in that size range.

Sgt. started a thread on nostalgia bikes, Memories Bro!

I think I would have to throw a set of knobbies on that bike. One of the most fun bikes I had was a KZ 400 that I enduro'ed. Crashing it always sucked cause of all the street crap getting broken but it was still a blast in the dirt. I imagine yours is much better suited...

Is the gas tank actually the gas tank or is it somewhere else in the frame?

[ts1]

Gas tank in standard position.

How about all the badges? Did you remove them?
The more I look at the Pict the more I like it.

[ts1]

I removed the badges quick and dirty with Windows paint.
Otherwise you could have read Husqvarna TR650.

I KNEW you were a closet smart ass! Welcome to the dark side... Tues/Thurs. Crawfordville... You know the drill.
