huskvarna are the oldest manufacturers in the world and have been going since 1903. they sold out to the castagloini brothers that owned cagiva, ducati, morini and MV. they later shipped production down to italy and so the staff stayed up in sweden and started the husaberg marquee in 1988. they have also eventually sold out in 1998 to KTM in austria (or so) and moved production there for the 2003 model.

Actually in,
1883 - Germans Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach developed a four-stroke internal combustion engine and installed it in a self-propelled bicycle - hence the worlds first motorcycle.
1893 - E. J. Pennington built the first American motorcycle, a horizontal twin two-stroke.
1894 - Hildebrand and Wolfmuller made the world's first production motorcycle, a 1,428cc four-stroke with 2.5 bhp and a top speed of 25 mph. It was made under licence in France for one year under the name Petrolette
1898 - Ariel showed it's first bike
1899 - Matchless motorcycles was founded
1900 - The first four stroke standard motorcycle production engine was developed
1901 - Norton Motorcycles company starts, Ariel made it's first production motor propelled bike, Royal Enfeild started, The Indian Motorcycle company started
1903 - Husqvarna and a little known brand called The Harley Davidson Motor Company started in competition to Indian
1905 - The first all Triumph made motorcycle was released and Norton's first motorcycle was produced using a Peugot motor
But nobody likes a smart a*#e... so I'll just shut my big fat pie hole
