Featured Articles for Winter 2007
Husqvarna
500 TT Racer Moto-Euro
travels to Sweden via Los Angeles for the exclusive
unveiling of a 1934 Husqvarna 500 TT Racer. Have
a first look at a rarely seen Scandinavian classic
that roared across European racetracks and nearly
won the 1934 Isle of Man TT. A combination of Fate
and fatal mishaps wiped the machines from contention
until reborn decades later in a log cabin workshop
in rural Sweden. Though “extinct” for some
70 years the historic Husky was recently replicated
from the original factory blueprints and hand built
from 4,000 individual parts involving the investment
of some 10,000 hours of development. Call that a
labor of love bordering on a beautiful obsession
Douglas
90-Plus The
first Douglas motorcycle of 1907 was a flat twin, a layout
the company stuck to for 50 years, while legendary victories
in flat track, speedway and sprinting cemented the company’s
reputation for performance and quality engineering. In
1932, Robert Edison Fulton rode a “Dougie” around
the world, recording the adventures in his book, “One
Man Caravan.” Perhaps the most desirable Douglas
of them all, though, was the 350cc T35 Mk5 “90-Plus” of
1950. Guaranteed by the factory to exceed 90 miles per
hour, just 218 of these race-ready machines were built.
So what’s one doing buried in a freight container
on the island of Maui?
Moto
Guzzi Breva 1200 Sport In
Italy, the Breva is the warm wind that caresses the
Adda River valley below Lake Como, where, coincidentally,
the Moto-Guzzi Breva is produced in the oldest, continuously
operating motorcycle factory in the world. So if the
Breva is a wind, is the new 1200 Sport a blast? You
bet! With around 15 percent more thrust, air cheating
bodywork and revised ergonomics, you’d expect
the mille due cento to be quicker—and it is.
But there’s a willing, rev-happy spirit to the
revised motor that recalls the great sporting Guzzis
of the 1970s: the V7 Sport and the Le Mans. Ride one—you’ll
see!
1955
Series C Vincent Black Shadow At
a Vincent’s Dinner Club nearly half a century
ago, Phil Vincent announced that the legendary British
marquee could no longer continue in the face of heavy
losses and fierce opposition. It wasn’t more
then five months later, one week before Christmas,
the last Vincent is rolled off the production line
and was promptly labeled “The Last”. To
see one in the flesh is indeed rewarding, to ride one
is beyond words, unless those words are in Moto-Euro.
