  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 2012 CR 125's are in the USA.

Rode the '12 CR 125 and the '11 CR 150 in the woods behind the house today. Although the '12 is not broken in yet, I think the Ducati ignition has really improved the overall performance of the bike. It is obviously not as strong on the bottom as the 150, but it feels identical from mid to WOT. Stay tuned.

Did you get as much rain down there as we did up here? Hey did your 125 come with the 150 kit?

We got some rain last night, but not too much. The 125 was supposed to come with the 150 kit, but Italy screwed up and didn't pack them!:rolleyes: Husky USA is on it and will send the 150 kits to buyers in a few weeks.

I sold my TXC and might be up for this or a 2011 150 next...

Dude, either bike would be awesome, but I'd hold out for the 2012. I think this Ducati ignition is the real deal. Hopefully, it can be retrofitted to the 2011's (or earlier). After several break-in rides, my gut reaction is that the new ignition has improved performance across the board.
 
My 2008 is going to be coming apart this winter for a refresh, and I have to admit I was seriously considering the black frame treatment...I'm such a slave to fashion. :)
Of course, I may just wait for a left over WR 125 toward the end of the year to get my black frame.
 
You can get a 167cc kit from Max Power. $1750 which includes full engine dis assembly and rebuild.

You can get a Uptite 167cc kit for much less and don't have to disassemble the lower end. George uses a 1976 GP175 Husky piston.
