6. The Husqvarna 258 A
Source: Armémuseum
If you’re part of the Swedish military, you are probably familiar with the Husqvarna 258A. It’s been the Swedish army’s weapon of choice for about 30 years or so. The name let you know you can handle all sorts of weather and terrain, which is why they use it still today. Yet, the really unique thing about this particular Husqvarna? They are equipped with semi-automatic gearboxes, which means you can speed through the entire gearbox without a clutch. This is very similar to how old Honda Cub riding lawnmowers work. What this means for the Swedish military is training riders is relatively easy. Plus, they’re quite adaptable. The Swedish have put skis on several so they can be ridden in snowy winter conditions.
