It’s widely considered one of the most important Huskies of the 20th century.
McQueen wanted the bike to fulfill his own ambitions on the racetrack, and it’s certainly no slouch. Powered by a single-cylinder, 360 cc two-stroke engine, the two-wheeler can churn out 37 horses and weighs a svelte 215 pounds.It’s cycled through a handful of collectors and was treated to a meticulous, 14-month restoration in 2014 to get it to “Concours quality.” Today, the pristine machine is presented with a fresh exterior and gleaming chrome accents.
McQueen is rumored to have had more than 200 motorcycles in his collection and has become somewhat synonymous with Husqvarna. While the 400 Cross that he rode in the ‘71 motorcycle racing documentaryis arguably his most famous Husky, it was this Viking 360 that is believed to have turned him onto the brand. This is the first Husqvarna bike that he bought and rode, so it represents a seminal moment in motorsports history and pop culture at large.
