• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

why would you bother just wait for the 15s which would be out 4-6 months later. unless they were goin cheap or you really wanted one a 2014 model bike in feb 14 is a runout deal & worse than gasgas's delivery timeframe(well for Aus anyway)
 
I'd like to be at the design meeting and here the words of some highly educated person giving his reason for not putting a default device such as a kick starter on bike... And I know he is there and in charge ... I've seen that guy on software development many times

Marketing at its best, that is what ktm does. Here is your race ready bike, oh yeah you will need to spend a lot more money to actually make it like it should be.
 
Sat around talking with the usual suspects after a good ride today. One is looking forward to trading his KTM350XC for a Husky350 next year to get the bike he thinks he wants. The consensus of opinion was that KTM/Husky is killing the market by offering 'trail' bikes that no one else does - except the boutique manufacturers. If Yamaha (for instance) were building 175cc and 275cc 2 stroke or 375cc 4 stroke WR's they'd push KTM/Husky for market share. A lot of riders don't want or need a 250F handgrenade or 450F widowmaker - especially when they get the bill for an annual top end.

Yup, that's me: I want a light weight 200 or 250 thumper, e-start, decent suspenders but 34" seat height, head and tail light. Factory street legal would be nice.
The Euro bikes are too tall and too high-strung.
The Jap bikes are way over weight and poor suspension.
