This Custom Husqvarna Motorcycle Belonged To an F1 Star, and Just Sold For $18k

The worlds of Formula 1 and motorcycles don’t often cross paths, but when they do, it usually gets people talking. In this case, it’s Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc who’s behind the story. The 27-year-old from Monaco has made a name for himself as one of the most determined drivers on the grid.

Since his debut with Sauber in 2018 and his big move to Ferrari in 2019, Leclerc has been a consistent fan favorite thanks to his aggressive racing style and his ability to squeeze every ounce of performance out of his car.

Like many F1 drivers, Leclerc’s passion for speed isn’t limited to four wheels. Lewis Hamilton has been spotted riding custom MV Agustas. Fernando Alonso is no stranger to two-wheeled machines either. Even legends like Michael Schumacher were known to hop on bikes during their downtime. It’s not surprising—racing drivers often gravitate toward motorcycles for the same reason the rest of us do: freedom, simplicity, and raw connection to the road.
