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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I don't give a crap what color plastic you put on it to make it look better. It's a polished tird and that's it. Trust me I am sure there are ALOT of people who feel the same way I do. I ride a Husky BECAUSE it is NOT a bellybutton bike and because I feel it is superior to others...................... Not a new one after 2014...................................
 
For all those Husky folks who are upset, there's a Husaberg guy out there who is ready to give you a hug.

It sure seemed like Husqvarna was doing good things with its lightweight engines, and it would be a shame for all of that to be lost.

It's not realistic to expect completely unique models in these first few years. The costs of that would likely sink the whole ship. My suggestion is to be patient, tell KTM what you want from Husky, and to see what happens in the coming years. And don't sit on your wallets, unless you are sure you want Husky to be underfunded.

I totally understand, I feel the same way, really. I was P.O.'d about all this, and I'm still not crazy about it, but there's nothing I can do about it either. So, I either have to jump ship or eat the crow pie. So, I can go Beta, Sherco, or now, a typeone Husky.

Fixed it for you. Fletch we don't agree, but I respect your position!:oldman:
 
I am speaking with my wallet and went and picked up a 110 year 2014 cr125. That bike is in addition to the 2012 cr165 I already own. Its the only bike I would keep out of the current husky lineup and might keep the x-lite bikes with some refinements. I think ktm/husqvarna is a better bike in all other categories and while I mourn the loss of the cr125 I look forward to the future of the brand.
