• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

2014 Husqvarna line

After all this disappointment, I am really considering trading my 2012 TE310 in for a 2014 TE310R since it will be the last of the Huskys for what may be an eternity... I looked at a 350EXC back when I bought my Husky but wasn't $3500 more impressed by the KTM. It's either a 2014 TE310R or a CRF250X or keep the 2012 TE310 or??? Undecided I am:confused:

I'm undecided too but I think my next bike will be a Sherco. I do think the new Huskabergs look really cool as did the Bergs and KTM's but I'm not quite ready to take ergo handling gamble on the new Huskys. I do hope somebody in my area pulls the trigger on one; I'd like to see how they feel.
 
Rumours are that Jarvis will be riding the new WR/TE/XC300 in the Roof of Africa extreme Enduro.

Still uncertainty about the factory support for CH Racing, KTM/Husqvarna would be mad in not supporting CH Racing who, IMO, is the greatest enduro team in the world and is synonymous with Husqvarna both in Enduro and MX.

As far as the new Huskys and first since the merger, well apparent the frame is all Husqvarna...errr...ummmm...no other enduro KTM or Husaberg has link suspension, it will have the WP 4CS forks...struggling.

I think Mr Foley is alluding to how KTM would steal(pay big$$) the riders from CH Racing, just a guess..

Fabrizio Azzulin, manager of CH Racing has a great eye for new, cheap talent and makes them World Champion Enduro riders. Fabio Faroli and other EWC Teams would lure them away with big money. Meo isn't he first.....

I guess it's just me, but the whole Husaberg / Husky switcharoo seems like a big joke. Why did KTM even bother? Again I might be all alone here, but if I wanted a Husaberg I'd want to be able to buy one for what it was, everyone I know of that got one of the last ones loved it. Why not wait and release an all new Husky in 2015 rather than a regurgitated, re-badged, Husaberg that appears to be not as good as what was a Husaberg the last couple years? I hate KTM, and I'd rather buy a KTM 300 than this 2014 mutt. I love Husky and I'll be anxiously awaiting the 2015 bikes, but I think KTM made a fool of them selves right out of the gate. Brad.

You need to direct your anger at BMW for throwing the brand away. Husky product is GONE... it's OVER. The new Husky IS HUSABERG. I guess they could have just burned the logo. I see nothing wrong with a Husaberg with the Husqvarna name. It's better marketing.

KTM did not destroy Husky. BMW did. You are blaming the mortician for the failed Doctor.
 
Lot of Red Tape... just from a common sense stand point we know the bikes can be made to pass emmissions... they already have... but getting EPA certified as a new company will take more than the months they had. I gotta believe we get them for mid to late 2014 as 2015 models.

Just guessing of course. :excuseme:
 
CH Racing had Anders in a marriage made in 7 world championships heaven (OK one with Husaberg before CH Husky)does CH stand for Cagiva Husqvarna?
