Page 2 CORE VALUES TRADITION RACING Delivering On Our Core Values By Steve Lawler Every great company in the consumer goods industry has one thing in common: a brand name. A brand name is a direct reflection of a company’s strength in the products it makes and the values it delivers. If you’re really good, people will be able to recite exactly what your brand represents without even thinking when they come across it. Kleenex. Kellogg’s. Starbucks. We all know what these brands are and what they promise to deliver: a soft tissue, a breakfast cereal, a custom-made cup of coffee. You not only know what the brand name represents – you come to expect it. This becomes a company’s “brand promise.” Supporting that pledge are the core values that a company will use to uphold its brand promise. At Husqvarna Motorcycles, our brand promise is “The Pioneers of Motocross.” The solid foundation of upholding that brand promise is four thoughtfully selected core values of: Tradition, Racing, Sweden and Premium. To fully understand our foundation and our brand promise, let’s take a closer look at these pillars of Husqvarna Motorcycles. Our Brand Promise: "The Pioneers of Motocross" Husqvarna was the first manufacturer to produce a purpose-built motocross bike in the 1950s, and went on to reign worldwide well into the mid 1970s, changing the landscape of dirt bike riding forever. Our Core Values APPROVED / CLASSIC TECHNIQUE HEROES SINCE 1903 SWEDEN NATURE SWEDISH ROOTS SWEDISH RACING TEAM RACING PRODUCTS FACTORY RACE BIKE PREMIUM COMPONENTS WEAR TECHNOLOGY TRADITION: Since our first motorcycle in 1903, Husqvarna has built a tradition of innovation and excellence. When the pioneering heroes of motocross took their customised Husqvarna street bikes and turned the motorcycling world upside down, their trail blazing spirit made Husqvarna a global icon. Husqvarna continued this spirit by producing the first purpose-built off-road specific competition motorcycles, followed a decade later by the first mass produced motocross bikes. Today the legendary tradition continues with the new generation of Husqvarnas. RACING: In the heat of battle there's no place to hide. For a shot at glory, one needs to be both fast and consistent. The Husqvarna factory team's race bikes are the ultimate test for our complete range of race products. Endurance and performance thats continually being measured at the world's toughest races. With a family heritage of over 105 World Championship Titles, the new Husqvarnas have been bred to perform. SWEDEN: A country of extremes. Vast rugged wilderness that is beautiful yet unforgiving. Mastering the dense forests and rugged hillsides takes strong character and determination. These origins are reflected in Husqvarna's intelligent design, dependable performance and classic Swedish colour scheme. There's no bold experimentation on our bikes and we make no outrageous claims. Much like typical Swedes, the new Husqvarnas prefer to do their talking out on the tracks and trails. PREMIUM: Every ride has the potential to be legendary. Whilst we have no control over how or where one chooses to ride, we can ensure that every new Husqvarna is up to the challenge. Only premium parts, components and accessories make it onto our motorcycles. Quality materials, proven technology and precise manufacturing all part of Husqvarna's uncompromising commitment to continuing the legend! Page 3 Huskyhighlights Husqvarna Motorcycles is proud to announce Steve Lawler as the new North American Marketing Manager. Lawler is a long-time veteran of the motorcycle and powersports industry, and brings with him a passion for motocross and years of experience. erzberg 2014 Graham Jarvis Tackles The Iron Giant MEET Husqvarna Marketing Manager STEVE LAWLER dirt bike EDITORS NAME husqvarna FE 501 bike OF THE Year We are beyond thrilled to see our flagship of the 2014 Husqvarna line up – the FE 501 – named Dirt Bike magazine’s Bike Of The Year! The wrecking crew at Dirt Bike mag couldn’t help but stand in awe of the big-bore off-roader, as well as the hard-working company behind it that is fueling the re-birth of this venerated brand. In their own words, here’s what the editors of Dirt Bike magazine had to say: “Here’s the skinny: the Husqvarna FE 501 mates old-world passion to state-of-the-art Page 4 Bel-Ray Husqvarna Factory Racing’s Graham Jarvis set out to defend his number one plate at the Erzberg Red Bull Hare Scramble, and though he came close to doing so, the extreme enduro specialist had to settle for second place. “It’s disappointing,” Jarvis lamented. “I wanted to win.” Nonetheless, Graham still showcased his incredible skill in negotiating the treacherous Erzberg Rodeo course, including the infamous “Carl’s Diner” section. “To be honest, my chance of winning ended on the very first hill out of the quarry floor,” Jarvis said. “I came off the line quite well but got boxed out going into the first corner. When I came to the first climb a few riders crashed in front of me and then I crashed trying to get around them. I had to take a second run at the climb. That put me behind straight away and it was an uphill battle from there. The pace was pretty high and it was tough to fight back. I got up to second going through Carl’s Diner but by that stage, Johnny Walker was just too far ahead to catch. I had to take second.” Joining Jarvis in the top-five was his Bel-Ray Factory Husqvarna teammate Alfredo Gomez, who finished fourth. Like Jarvis, Gomez was expecting a better result, but was still proud of his finish. The race started well but during the middle of it, I made four big mistakes,” Gomez said. “I didn’t really crash anywhere; I just lost time on some of the climbs. It’s disappointing because I felt like I had the speed to place inside the topthree, but fourth is still a good result.” Husqvarna On Top at National Hare & Hound technology, manufacturing, marketing and vision. Oh, and the bike makes us smile.” Not only did Husqvarna take top honors in the Bike Of The Year category – we also backed it up with an honorable mention! The TE 300 was showered in adulation in Dirt Bike's Bike Of The Year feature story, as well: “The motor remains the most-advanced and best-performing two-stroke in the world, and it’s especially good at tight trails and hard-core off-road riding—all the things we love most.” Factory Husqvarna rider Jacob Argubright made history on April 27, 2014 by riding to victory in the Vikings MC Virgin Voyage National Hare & Hound. Argubright’s win marked the first time in decades Husqvarna has topped the podium at a national desert race. “I’m really happy to get this win for Husqvarna,” Argubright said. “Desert racing was a big part of Husky’s legacy in the 60s, 70s and 80s. I’m proud to be on a Husky and put them back on the map in the National Hare & Hound Championship!” Photo Mark Kariya Photo Scott Cox “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” Lawler said. “I think the sky is the limit to where we can go with Husqvarna and I’m very excited to be a part of the team. I have a long history with dirt bikes – I still race to this day in events like the Vet World Championships and Mammoth Motocross. I have a well-rounded skillset off the bike, as well, with a diverse background in marketing and sales. I’m looking forward to bringing it all together as Marketing Manager for the new Husqvarna.” Photo Future7Media “We are very proud to welcome Steve Lawler to Husqvarna,” said President Jon-Erik Burleson. “He is the ideal person to help shape the new Husqvarna. We are heading into a landmark year for this historic brand, and Steve is going to be a big part of bringing Husky back to its premium status.” HANGTOWN Husqvarna Motorcycles recently announced that the iconic brand will make a return to the AMA Pro ranks of Supercross and Motocross. Although the all-new Rockstar Energy Husqvarna Factory Racing team won’t be in action until the 2015 season, throngs of fans at the 2014 Hangtown Motocross Classic got to see some Huskys take to the national track. In honor of past legends and future champions, “Bad” Brad Lackey and Chuck Sun rode a “Lap of Legends” at round two of the AMA Pro Motocross Championship. Lackey, aboard a 1973 CR 400, and Sun, aboard a 2014 TC 250, showcased 40 years of Husqvarna history for the Hangtown fans, and also autographed limited-edition Husqvarna posters for a throng of lucky Hangtown Motocross Classic fans.

It does everything we like, and does it well. It's clear that nothing was held back and that the people in charge want Husvarna to succeed. ” MOTOCROSS ACTION, MARCH 2014 “This [TC 250] is the best 250cc two-stroke engine made. It hits hard and quick by fourstroke standards, but by the old-school way of thinking, it has a broad and easy-touse powerband.” DIRT BIKE, APRIL 2014 “The Husqvarna FE 501 is a little bit of old-world legacy mated to current technology and manufacturing. The result? It's a winner from here to the local enduro or to the Six Days–it's that good.” TRANSWORLD MOTOCROSS, APRIL 2014 “We were pleasantly surprised to find that the FC 450 builds power smoothly from the crack of the throttle and boasts a linear powerband that is not only easy to control and put to good use, but also allows the rear suspension to work as it should without excessive chain torque.” New WP Factory Services Website and Factory-Direct Tuning WP Factory Services was once reserved for only professional racers, but with an all-new foundation in the U.S. and an expanding market share, WP Factory Services is proud to open its doors to the general public.

DIRT RIDER, MAY 2014 Mike Brown lands the new FE 350 on the cover of Dirt Rider Magazine. Check out the feature story on Husqvarna's factory off-road star on page 58. Page 5 HIS FACE MAY SHOW HIS 73 YEARS, BUT HIS ANIMATED BLUE EYES TELL A FAR MORE YOUTHFUL STORY, A STORY OF A MAN WHO CAME FROM SWEDEN ON A WHIM, FOUND HIMSELF ALONE IN THE MIDWEST BARELY SPEAKING THE LANGUAGE, RACING UNDER A PHONY NAME AND TRYING TO SELL HUSQVARNAS – A MOTORCYCLE HARDLY ANYONE HAD EVER HEARD OF. Lars Larsson (a.k.a. “Larry Lawson”) had an interesting journey that took him quite literally from the beginning all the way to the present day of American motocross. Larsson was the first Factory Husqvarna rider in America, and nearly 50 years later, he is still racing motocross (did you know that there is a 70+ class?)! During his career, Larsson witnessed the formation of the dirt bike industry, America’s fascination with motocross and the radical evolution of the sport. The former Swedish GP star is now pleased to witness the rebirth of the brand that started it all for him — Husqvarna Motorcycles. In a rare sit-down at his San Diego, California home, Lars talked about his history with Husqvarna Motorcycles, coming to the United States and the types of innovation that drove the industry. His vast experience and colorful personality revealed a unique perspective — one that could only come from a living thread woven into the fabric of motocross history. His first race in America Edison Dye picked me up and he said, ‘We’re going to go racing. We’re going to Indiana State Championship TT.’ I don’t know what the heck he was talking about. We get to this Indiana state championship and I signed up as ‘Larry Lawson’ because I was not supposed to take part in any racing over here (because of the Swedish motorcycle federation and the FIM). We take the crate out of the van, I uncrate it and start putting the fork on the bike and people were starting to come close and say, ‘Hey, what is that? What are you doing?’ All those TT bikes had the smooth tires, maybe with the cut in it. I had Trelleborgs. (Swedish-made knobby tires) People said, ‘You can’t race with those kind of tires. You won’t stand a chance.’ And Edison said, ‘Oh, it’s okay. We just want him to ride to show the bike because this is a motocross bike.’ Well, I whipped them with those tires. They were sliding around the corners and I couldn’t slide – I was tracking. I just went up to the corner, turned and went lIVING the other way. Afterwards, a lot of people gathered around us. People were trying to talk to me, but I didn’t speak English. All I could say was, ‘Husqvarna… very good quality Swedish… very good motorcycle.’ Edison told me this many times, and he always laughed because people around me kinda shook their heads and said, ‘Them California boys, they sure talk funny.’ Innovation of Husqvarna I think in the beginning their quality seemed to be extremely good. A Husky started on the first kick. Back then, no motorcycle started on the first kick. But the way they were promoting the motorcycle with the racing program, not only in motocross, but in the desert and in enduro, as well. A lot of that had to do with the two people: Bror Jauren and Ruben Helmin. They were very enthusiastic for racing, and if it hadn’t been for them, I don’t think Husqvarna would have ever made any bikes. They basically had to make it without the approval of the big shots, so things were made on the side. Lars racing the 2014 RacerX InterAM at Boise, Idaho Summer 1971 with the Titanium Bike The summer with the titanium bike was something else. Pro Fab up in Orange County built the frame. A guy selling material came to us and said, ‘Hey, I’m in the titanium business. I think there should be a bike made with titanium.’ We linked up with Pro Fab and got it going. It was so light… you took the start and never looked back. You were gone! It was a fantastic bike to ride in those days. We were very successful on that bike, but unfortunately after that summer series (the AMA) outlawed it. At the time they blamed it on the cost. But you can never talk me into Lars still has the titanium framed 400 Husky he swept the summer series with back in 1971. "Larry Lawson" with his first U.S. trophy. Page 6 Finally they had this street bike, the Silverpilen, and they modified it and they were lucky to get people like Torsten [Hallman] to ride it. He beat everybody. It’s power to those people. They had a vision. There’s many people like that – Henry Ford would be one. He had a passion. It’s that spirit that is the driving force. anything like that. Where do you draw the line? We’re never going to be able to buy exactly what the factory riders have. But there’s still people coming from the bottom, work their way up and one day they will have the factory ride. One of the most remarkable things about you is that you’re still racing. What is the competition like in the 70+ class? Well, they beat me in the (Vet) World Championship in October. I did win it in 2011 and 2012, but I got second in 2013. Those kids that are just turning 70, they’re hard to deal with! The Evolution of Motocross Supercross – what a success that was. It’s a different sport. I know many of the old riders don’t think much of it. But it’s a fantastic extension of motocross. I think that the world championship doesn’t mean squat today in the sense that everybody is not welcome to compete. In the old days, each country was allowed so many " Photos: Resmarket.com lars riders to compete in the world championship. Well, that’s not the case today. No matter, each country has their best riders. How they stand against another country’s best rider, that’s one thing. But at least they should be able to compete, like in the Olympics. The US nationals, that is, in a sense, the real world championship today. But at the same time it’s not. Because where I’m coming from, a world champion means you gotta travel around many different countries and compete around the world. You gotta learn how to eat the food they give you; you gotta go through the language. I wish there were more Americans competing in the world championship. The biggest honor you can have, in my opinion, is to represent your country. As a sportsman, as a rider, there is no higher call. What has it been like to watch motocross grow to the level it is at today? The whole thing has been an unbelievable experience. It’s like you dropped something in " Lars Larsson helped lay the groundwork for Husqvarna and modern motocross in the U.S. An American Story the water and the ripples grow bigger and bigger. To have been a small part of that evolution is a fantastic thing. Seeing when the Americans started going over to Europe really to compete and how they won some world championships, and Motocross des Nations, how they won that. When I sit and have a little glass of wine and think about all these things… yeah, I was a little part of it. Perspectives on the new direction of Husqvarna? It’s neat. It’s neat that the name is not going away. I worked with KTM when I came to this country and when we were the distributors, and I raced KTM for many years. I’ve seen what they’ve done. I feel very good that Husqvarna is back with them because I think Husqvarna will not take KTM’s market share, but other brands’ market share. I am certain that KTM will do a hell of a good job with Husqvarna. IT WAS A FANTASTIC BIKE TO RIDE, BUT UNFORTUNATELY, AFTER THAT SUMMER SERIES, THE AMA OUTLAWED IT AND WE COULDN'T USE IT AGAIN.

I’m excited to be racing it and making my debut in the 450 class on a Husqvarna.

I have a Husky 125 2-stroke and I love it! The power is smooth, it’s super easy to flow on the bike, and it is FAST! Even though I am a smaller rider the bike feels super light and easy for me to whip. What is your relationship with Husqvarna? This is a brand new relationship. Since retiring from motocross I haven't ridden much, but this year I decided to do some riding. Husqvarna offered me a bike to ride, which I thought was super cool of them! How long had it been since you were on a 125? Did it take some getting used to? The last time I raced a 125 2-stroke was in 2007 so it has been a while. Actually it didn't take me any time to adjust; I honestly prefer a 2-stroke over a 4-stroke. For me, being a smaller rider, I need something that is lighter and easier to move around so the Husky 125 2-stroke is perfect. Is that the bike you chose or is it what Husky offered you? I chose the 125 2-stroke, I believe Husqvarna would let me ride whatever I wanted, but like I said, I prefer the 2-stroke over the 4-stroke. It is just more fun for me to ride. Speaking of fun, is it a relief to just play ride rather than being focused on racing? For sure! I just ride when I want to ride. I still train but that is just to stay in shape. No pressure – just play riding. It is all about fun and the Husky 125 makes it a blast. Is there any chance we’ll see you at the races this year? I love the bike but I will not be racing unless it is a special event. Right now I am just focused on play riding and having fun. Can you tell us about the Ashley Fiolek Foundation? Over the years I have had the opportunity to visit schools and other organizations and talk to the kids about going after your dreams. It was a great experience for me so I wanted to continue that with the Ashley Fiolek Foundation. Getting the foundation going has been slow but I think it will be awesome once we are ready to go! I have a bunch of ideas that I think would benefit children and young women, but for now we are starting with the "Dirt Bike Outreach" program. The idea here to visit different organizations, speak with the children or young women about their dreams. I want them to understand that anything is possible if you work hard and surround yourself with the right people! After that we will go ride dirt bikes. I will teach them the basics of riding motorcycles and then we will do a simple beginner course. I want to give them a taste of riding and show them how exciting and empowering it is – how it changed my life! I am not expecting these children to become racers; the goal is to get passionate about something, encourage them to chase that dream and maybe it could become their career. I think by trying something they may have never had the chance to, it could let them know that they can do anything. At the end of the day, I hope it’s an experience of a lifetime.

I love having the ignition map switch and I’m having fun experimenting with the adjustable power valve. The suspension is incredible. Favorite Thing: I’m still in awe of how great the TC 250 turns. It just carves into the inside lines! 10-time Baja 1000 overall winner, 10-time ISDE gold medalist, AMA Motorcycle Hall of Famer Husky Of Choice: I loooove my Husky! Whether you’re 17 or 57 (which is what I am) it’s a great off-road bike. It’s got great torque, it’s nimble, it’s fast, it handles great. It’s one of the most fun motorcycles I’ve ever ridden. I’m absolutely loving it. It puts a lot of fun and enjoyment into riding. Nowadays the bikes are so good. This FE 350, just clean the air filter, change the oil and keep fresh rubber on it and go have fun. Favorite thing: My favorite thing about it would have to be the electric start. Oh, and the green sticker, since I live in California! MARK BLACKWELL 1971 500cc AMA Motocross Champion, former VP of Marketing for Husqvarna Motorcycles, AMA Hall of Famer. Husky of Choice: FC 250. I have been riding a 350 and wanted to try a 250, with a little softer power delivery on the hard-packed SoCal tracks in the summer. I LOVE IT! I think it is really easy to handle and very predictable. Favorite thing: Two things: the styling and IT’S A NEW HUSQVARNA! I have a long history with the brand and am thrilled to be riding one again! ASHLEY FIOLEK Four-time WMX Champion, two-time X Games gold medalist Husky of choice: I am a smaller rider so the TC 125 2-stroke is the perfect fit for me; it’s light and smooth. I have always preferred a 2-stroke over a 4-stroke so the Husky 125 2-stroke is the perfect bike for me! Favorite thing: It’s easy to whip! :) For more on AF67, go to page 12. See Ashley in action on her TC 125 in this Transworld MX video: http://motocross.transworld. net/1000160361/news/ashley-fiolek-2014/ CHARLES JIRSA Husqvarna Motorcycles Technical Specialist Husky of Choice: The FE 501 is the perfect bike for me. I’m a desert guy, and I’m also the type that likes to do long-distance and endurance races. I love a bike that I can take to the track and ride some moto on every now and then. Not every bike can cross over and do both well and I love the versatility of the FE 501. Favorite Thing: The 4CS fork is awesome because I can make full adjustments on the fly without the use of any tools.

COM HuskyOfChoice Decisions, decisions… Choosing to buy a new Husqvarna is a no-brainer! The only tough part is choosing which one you want. There is something for everyone in the 2014 line-up – 2-stroke or 4-stroke, off-road or motocross, 85 all the way up to 501! The only thing you need to decide is which one is for you. That can be a tough choice, as they each have unique strengths and attractive features, but hopefully we can help you with your decision. Meet the staff and “stars” of Husqvarna Motorcycles North America, and read on to find out what each person’s Husky of Choice is and why. Ty Davis is also a fan of the FC 450. ANDY JEFFERSON Husqvarna Motorcycles Off-road Race Team Manager, former Pro Circuit Factory Husqvarna racer Husky of Choice: I’m a motocross guy – always have been. For me, the FC 450 is the easy choice. I do a lot of riding and testing of aftermarket and powerparts accessories, and I still race occasionally, so the FC 450 is a great all-around bike for me. The power is super smooth and it handles very light for a 450. Favorite Thing: Electric start. It’s a rare thing on a motocross bike, and a really great convenience. Photos Resmarket.com Page 19 WWW.
