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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

125-200cc 2011 CR 150 in Da House!

Anyone else notice the side panel stickers say CR150 (on left side) and 150CR (on the right side)?
 
I did... those won't be on long, pre-prints will take care of that. Pretty odd though...
 
My guess they had small intial dealer orders for this model,to this day only about 6 or 7 dealers actually have a WR150 on thier showfloor and they have none left for the year in the wharehouse.If you were a distributor how would you look at it.Im thinking thier being to nice and many dealers are not being forced to buy a bit of everything,I know for a fact only about 12 dealers have a Wr250 on the showfloor ,everyones got 300s but me I sold mine Saturday but more on the way the Wr250 is awesome cant sell them if all you have are 300s.Honda even started getting that way only supplying Crs and CRfs in numbers by how many dealers actually ordered,kind of did it to themselves.If they odered 4 in 09 they only got 4 more in 10 if only 3 then only 3 came in.
Thats part of it,but Im hoping and really thinking that its just preperation for getting 2012 back on track for normal delivery times to get bikes here for magazine test and being in the hunt with the rest of the brands.I think they are doing it too,had the best February in 15 years and have already sold 4 new bikes this month, not to toot our own horn but we have sold more new Huskys since JAN 1 to date than most dealers sold average all last year and made darn good $$$ on all of them ,thanks to rebates and 1.99% financeing?I think Huskys back big time and ordering alot of bikes has paid off for us year after year.Sorry not to ramble guys just telling how I see it,billf
 
ah... good insight there Bill... maybe 2012 will be big then? My dealer has a 150 sitting there... seems to sell his share of SM/TE models.
 
Krieg, that is one sweet bike. It makes me wish I was 16 yrs old and still weighed 160 lbs. The deals on the leftover 125 were unreal but because of my height and 200+ weight I went with a leftover wr250 from Bills. Now I wait in anticipation for nice weather days like a kid waiting for Christmas.
 
Very cool Krieg glad you got one. I sounds like they are gonna be keepers if you are lucky enough to get one. Can't wait for your ride report, enjoy and CONGRATS!

Walt and myself are no small guys, I am 6 foot 205 and LOVE the little tiddler. The fun factor is through the roof. Pin it everywhere FUN.

I'm usually around 205 but I'm 220 now which may not be too heavy but I'm a little over 6'6" tall and It seemed to me that I would look like a monkey on a football.

I grew up riding 125s and was tempted to go back, maybe once my riding skills start coming back I'll give one a try. My GASGAS 200 is kind of in the middle ground.
 
I was in my local dealer 10 westmotorsports in Indio Calif yesterday and they have a 2011 CR 150 stitting on the show room floor .Talk to Joe he is a great guy and is ready to deal on this bike 760 342 1800

Better hurry before i find my self over there signing papers for a new bike
 
Lankydog,

If you feel at home on the WR250 the CR150 will fit perfect. My riding weight is easily 230 lbs(all back pack and tools
lol.gif
) I do carry 20 lbs on my back. Between tools, 2 litres of fuel, 3 liters of water, all the various extra's and a first aid kit, it is 20#'s. That leaves 40 lbs of boots, helmet, and gear
lol.gif
. The cr 150 will take you anywhere the WR 250 does and many many of them faster and you won't be whipped when you get there. I loved my WR 250 but it just isn't as much fun.
 
so how does she run. its gotta be a rocket. when are you gonna get her rippin??? good luck. cant wait to here if it runs perfect or needs a little setting up like the 125
