Husqvarna was founded near the town Huskvarna, Sweden, in 1689 with the company starting out as a manufacturer of muskets and their logo still depicts a gun sight viewed from the end of the barrel. As with many motorcycle manufacturers, Husqvarna first began producing bicycles in the late 19th century but by 1903 they had begun manufacturing powered two-wheelers. By the 1970s they were mainly known for their off-road bikes, popular in Motocross and Enduro events. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Husqvarna was a dominant force in the motocross world, winning 14 motocross world championships in the 125cc, 250cc and 500cc divisions, 24 Enduro world championships and 11 Baja 1000 victories. Probably their best known model is the CR450 of the early 1970s, a firebreathing two-stroke ridden to world championship glory by Bengt Aberg and Heikki Mikkola and famously by Steve McQueen in 'On Any Sunday' (1971).
Said to be in excellent condition with just 161 miles recorded, there is strong evidence that this 2015 Husqvarna FE 450 was used in the 2016 film 'Jason Bourne' starring Matt Damon. It appears the production company had about 25 similar bikes that they used throughout filming. Offered with original book pack including sales literature. owner's handbook and some spare body panels that were possibly fitted during filming.
Please Note: It has come to our attention that the catalogue description of this bike is incorrect. It appears to be 1 of 25 bikes used throughout the filming of the 2016 film ‘Jason Bourne’ but we have no documentary evidence of when, or if it was actually featured in the final cut.
The website description now reads :
