• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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'm on my third Beta Trials bike and wouldn't be without one again as they keep getting better, I would recommend anyone who is getting on (like me) who likes the tight twisty technical stuff and want to go places only the top dirt bike riders get to go, go and have a ride on one, they weigh under 80kg are cheap to run, stick like shit (apart from deep sand) and have tractor pulling grunt, I also run a trials tire on my WR most of the year as they just grip almost everywhere better than a knobbly.
 
Hmmmm....wonder how many Aussie guys will look at the Beta considering they have released their 2017 prices:

“We have decided to keep the price of all of our RR range, both the 2 and 4 strokes, unchanged from 2016.” announced Beta Motorcycles Australia’s director Gary Grealy. “With the Australian dollar still relatively high and stable against the Euro and our excellent sales across the board at the current prices we see no reason to change.” he added.

2017 Beta Enduro Price – Inc GST
Two-Stroke + ORC
RR250 – $10,990
RR300 – $11,990
XT300 – $10,190
Four-stroke + ORC
RR350 – $12,690
RR390 – $12,790
RR430 – $12,890
RR480 – $12,990
 
In the states people act like the dealers are making a killing on bikes..... when that is sooo far from the truth
 
Well mates, you're just getting the Aussie love I guess. The prices for the 2017 bikes are starting to show up in local ads here in Cali and for example the 2016 FE501s was $10,599, and the 2017 is $10,799. That's actually quite reasonable for the improvements you get for the money.
