Motorcycle brands and claimed age

[Bulldog9]

I didn't know Husqvarna continued to manufacture motorcycles, thought it was another of the 'revived' brands
like Indian, BSA, etc.

Polaris made a great move to capture the nostalgia of the Indian name and heritage, and have done a great job
with their offerings, but they are certainly not the same company or engineering and manufacturing lineage or continuity
that Harley or Moto Guzzi, BMW, etc have.

Still, it's great to see so many heritage brands available.

This has cleared an issue up for me or possibly encouraged one.
Last year there was a TV show aired about the history of HD. In that show it was said that HD had shut the doors
At one point early on, I can’t remember the given reason but it did discontinue manufacturing the bikes.
This confirmed in my mind what I have always heard that MG is the oldest, CONTINUOUS motorcycle producing company in the world.
I’m definitely willing to be educated on the subject.
