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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

The magazine quotes BMW Motorrad boss Hendrik von Kuenheim on page 7.
http://www.dealer-world.com/page.php?p=idn

"... our sales team completely underestimated demand for the new Nuda 900 model."

"Rotax are tearing their hair out to find out a way to increase production of the parallel-twin engine ..."

"It's a crucial pointer to where we have to take Husqvarna in the future as an agressive, youthful road bike brand."

""So next we launch the Strada single-cylinder road bike later this year, ... and then the Moab ... and then another twin-cylinder model."

"But then we show we haven't forgotten Husqvarna's traditional roots, and the next three new models after that will all be offroad bikes, including one really, really radical one that's sure to get people talking."

So I can hang on to my 630 in the knowledge that there won´t be a new model until "... the next three years after the next two!". I still think that the MOAB and the Strada are aberrations.

Don't know the answer to your question and if an aberration or not, of any type, if sells number go up on any model, expect to see more of it ...
 
So I ran into the owner of my local Huskey dealer today. I asked him about this, and if he knew what the "other twin" after the Moab might be. He told me the "other twin" is a ADV bike. Think KTM990 not GS800. Makes sense to me.

Oh yeah he also told me his new Nuda is more fun than a monkey on crack with a hand gun :)

I hope so. I saw the new Honda VFR1200X in Cycle News and got a bad jones for a big Adv bike. The Euros will get the VFR1200X first, then in a year, I expect it will come to the US. Husky better get their new Adv bike here before then!
