Husqvarna Svartpilen 250 deliveries have commenced in India from an authorized dealership in Thane. The motorcycles are available at introductory prices for a limited time…
After its official launch last month, Bajaj has commenced deliveries of its new brand – Husqvarna in India. Husqvarna is owned by KTM where Bajaj has a near 50 percent stake. Motorcycles under the Swedish brand are a part of Bajaj’s Probiking business unit and are manufactured in Chakan, near Pune.
And few weeks after the price reveal, Husqvarna deliveries have commenced and the first motorcycle has been handed over to a customer named Tanmay Pawaskar by KTM Thane. It is the Svartpilen 250 that Tanmay has preferred over its sibling Vitpilen.
The Svartpilen is expected to garner a bigger chunk of sales owing to its more versatile usage. Svartpilen comes with an upright seating posture and raised handlebars. On the other hand, the cafe racer Vitpilen 250 is more dedicated and has a forward biased posture.
