• Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Sweden - About 1988 and older

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hello
One of my friend is searching for many years datas and pics about what it seems to be a chimera, a 80 wr 1982 !!!
He has seen one in a shop in France.
Spent hours of licking the glass shop.
It is perhaps a construction of the french importer ( SIMA).
Anybody has more informations about this bike ???
Thanks
Michel

never saw 1

Just when you think you've seen every Husky, someone finds you've
never seen :confused:. I pretty sure it wasn't available in the USA.

I am thinking it could have been made special for ISDE and the 80 class (which went away in 1993/last year it ran)
Wonder how they derived at 80 for its bore and stroke? The older husky bottom ends were overkill on the 125 as it was.

I have sen lotso older motors stuffed into the still fin handling M series Husky frames. many honda 200 motors before husky killed the world with its fine 4 strokes of the early 80's.
It IS a well known medical fact that swedes are the best donors and recipients for transplants and transfusions!

My friend told me that the stroke was the same than on a 125 wr.
So, the piston has a more little diameter.
The cylinder seems to have fins more little. Recut ???
