• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Might be easier for Walt to downsize the new 250 for us :D, I recall him say'n there wasn't enough meat on the bone to bore a 125 KTM very much past 144.
 
my, ohhh, my... pants just got tight!!

If you asked me I'd say the engineers at Husaberg influenced KTM... not the other way round. And the BMWuskies were no prize... so if Husaberg and Husky revival turns out to be Husqvarna in name and Husaberg in engineering... that is a win win. And if KTM still gets new improvements from the collaberation so much the better.

I agree with you on the trade of info after KTM acquired Husaberg they had a decent 4 stroke development plan, seems KTM got a jewel that needed some cutting and setting, they (Husaberg) had great bikes and no distribution in place that was really world class
the Husky line was a red headed stepchild of BMW so got no real development
 
I think they did an excellent job with the colors and graphics! Some don't like the white/yellow/blue of the 80's Husky's, but I always have. That is the color scheme of Husqvarna when it left Sweden. I always liked the yellow and blue on the Husky's as those are the two colors of Sweden's flag. I noticed in the pics the attention to detail in branding the parts on the new line. Look at the exhaust on the 4T and the grips. They have Husqvarna on them, like we are all used to. The yellow head, how can you not like that? :thumbsup:

More pics please....
