1968 Husqvarna 360 - Owned by Steve McQueen

Steve McQueen's very first Husqvarna. This bike was originally raced by Motocross World Champion Bengt Aberg. http://en. wikipedia. org/wiki/Bengt_%C3%85bergI was told by former owner that McQueen went to Santa Cruz. CA to watch a MX race and after Bengt Aberg won the race McQueen bought the bike on the spot. Up to that point McQueen had been racing Triumphs. nbsp;but this bike here for sale would change that. This bike started his passion for the Husqvarna brand. as you may have seen him riding them on the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine. in the movie On Any Sunday. and several other publications and pictures easily found online. McQueen helped Husqvarna become the huge success it was during the late 60's and early 70's. So this bike is very special and unique. He may have had many motorcycles. but none has the history and importance of this one. All paperwork proving it's provenance. related to both Steve McQueen and Bengt Aberg is part of this sale.
