2016 Husqvarna FC450: The Winner

By simply purchasing a 12-issue print subscription to Transmoto ($90), Clint Macrae from Kilsyth in Victoria has won himself a 2016-model Husqvarna FC450 ($11,995), a year’s supply of Bel-Ray oils and lubricants ($2380), as well as a selection of Husqvarna Accessories genuine parts ($1470).

All he had to do was tell us in 25 words or less why he sees Husqvarna as a premium-brand motorcycle, and why he’d like to win it. He answered:

“Many years of riding with Husky owners. Although I have never owned one, there’s a Husky-shaped void in my garage … and in my heart!”

Clint has been saving up his pennies to buy this specific model, so we couldn’t be more stoked to be sending the bike out to such a deserving winner – after we send it to the Husqvarna Australia HQ for a factory freshen up, that is. We’ve spent the last eight months with it as a Transmoto project bike, so we better clean her up before it finds its new home.

Congratulations, Clint!
