• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

TE/TC '14 Husky TE 250 - New Fair Price? '14 Used Fair Price?

I'm looking to sell my '12 Beta 350RR for a newer and lighter ride. My local Husky dealer has a new '14 TE 250 on his floor, sticker at the moment showing $7k. He also has a '14 used looks very clean for $5500. Have yet to sit down and talk to the sales guy, any thoughts on what I should be looking for a walk out the door price?
 
Idk but my younger sister just picked up an fc250 with 20hrs on it for 4500 in bone stock unmolested shape fwiw 7k seems pretty steep
 
Location certainly has something to do with it.
In New England I would say for the new bike, 6500 max.
For the used bike 5 to 5500 is the right range depending on miles, condition, and extras.
If it was a 15, a bit more.
 
Thanks, I'm thinking $5.8k to $6k OTD on the new one, $4.8K to $5k on the used one once I am able to get a better idea of its condition.
 
It's obviously still sitting there as it's over priced. Use the 'it's 4 MY's old' line. Take a grand off for every new model year ahead of it!
 
So have seen the used one. Lights missing, Recluse installed, shaved seat, linkage guards, radiator braces, right side radiator replaced with over sized aftermarket one, new tires, 2800 miles, 185 hours. Doesn't look to have been beaten up. Thoughts? $4k too high to offer?
 
I'm with him...185 I'd throw the hour meter out put new plastic... And not say anything... I'd probably pop for a new one...radiator I'm sure replaced cause of crash damage...no big deal...I had to buy one for a 260 pound gasser that went down hard..any details on engine??God forbid the crank grenades and you can't do the work...my buddy spent over a $1000 getting a yz 85 all rebuilt!..I like nice brakes as well...185 hours...can they.work totally like new??if it were a low hour bike.. Say 30-50..for 4k I'd say try it...but I hear ya tough to justify these bikes...in 1980 or 79 I picked rocks all summer and bought a brand new 1978 Honda Cr 125 Elsinore for 725$!!! New!
 
I'd honestly offer $5-5.5k for the new one & to get the deal over the line order a heap of armour/parts through the shop to make it worthwhile to them. Stuff you'd buy anyway like bashy, rad guards, Handguards etc even if you pay coupla hundred more than buying off ebay or somewhere else you'll still be in front & shop be happy. As Fletch says it won't feel new at 185 hours plus things will more than likely need replacing(bearings etc). Just MHO
 
When you can buy a new 17 for around 8k, it's a no brainer. $5k for the 14 max. I get trying not to lose your arse with a bike that's been sitting on the floor, but if they aren't willing to deal, it can sit there for a while longer.
 
Go for the new one for sure. At those hours you are going to be looking at playing with the bottom end of that bike during your ownership (unless short).
Besides, you always wanted to own a brand new bike right!
 
185 hours is worn out? Wow. My 14 300 is at 175 hours and I don't plan to touch that motor anytime soon. Not criticizing, just an interesting perspective. Will admit... Mine are play hours, not racing.
