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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Good video and interesting
Call me a one eyed , die hard husky fan but why pay nearly double for a bike thats probably not any better than a WR
I like the simpler looks of the WR better. Frame looks a bit suss
It certainly doesnt look like it goes like a CR 144

My thoughts exactly! I think for the Australian 2013 release they did away with the adjustable rake on the tripple clamp also.
If they want to sell a bike at such a premium surely it needs to come with the goodies the OS models get.
I think the fantic 300 enduro with base spec forks & shock in Australia comes at a price similar to the small release gasgas that was loaded with fancy stuff.
Not sure what the OS 2013 fantics are worth, perhaps they are a good price with all the goodies on them.
when watching the vid thats all I could think of as well.

That is a nice looking bike.... I wonder how it is handling wise compared to my WR ?? I saw on the web that they are not available in the USA.....So if I wanted one, I'd never be able to get one here... Ohh well that how it is in the USA we see a lot of Euro stuff that never makes it here.... I'm just real happy I have a Husky and they are available here..

you can get a Fantic no problem in the states from the Canadian importer... I love these bikes aesthetically, as well some of the components. The GG 125 engine isn't as good as the Husky though... that wouldn't stop me from getting one or the 300 version, both MXers of course. Both/either bikes are on the shortlist for '14.

So I guess if a person in the States wants one all they have to do is take a road trip to Canada.....
Not a bad idea because then they could pick up some of that great Canadian beer too...
Euro FIM regs and to lazy to swap them out for real tires for our market.
