Husqvarna 390 Automatic for sale

SELLER SAYS: Up for sale is my Husqvarna 1979 390 AE (automatic enduro) 2-stroke. Ready to ride in Vinduro or Vintage MX, the bike is well sorted with electronic ignition, shocks and forks rebuilt, new emulators, new tyres. Looks good and goes great. Also has a WA pit pass if you wish to B-class register it.

How would you like to hop on your motocrosser and never have to pull the clutch in, never shift a gear, and never worry about downshifting, upshifting, clutch slipping or gear selection?
The Husqvarna Auto was just that machine. But, it is important to note that it was never intended to be a motocross bike. Not even close. The first prototypes were built in 1973 for a competition between Husqvarna, Monark and Hagglunds to build the best military-spec off-road bike for the Swedish Army. The required features were a 100-watt quartz lighting system, low-operating noise levels, the ability to run while laying on its side and a gearbox that could be fixed in the field (with tools from the supplied toolkit). But, most of all, the army was looking for a motorcycle that they could teach a raw recruit to ride in less than a week. And, they were offering a government contract to the brand that made the best machine.
