MX World Champ Sten Lundin on the Monark/Lito

• Larry Lawrence
Swedish racing great Sten Lundin riding a machine similar to the Monark that he won the 1959 FIM Motocross World Championship on. Sten also won the world title in 1961. The record books say that Sten won the ’61 title on a Lito, but it was actually still a Monark, renamed after Monark withdrew from racing. He renamed the Monark to Lito after his sponsor at the time. During an eight-year span from 1957 to 1964, he finished third or better in the Motocross World Championships, becoming one of the most accomplished motocross racers of his era.
