• 4 Stroke Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Italy - About 1989 to 2014
     TE = 4st Enduro & TC = 4st Cross

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Are Husqvarna now being made in China?

What I've noticed in a lot of the "copy cat" bikes, is that the choice of materials is very bad and heat treating seems to be considered optional.

If they can build a competitive bike, fine. Let them rise to the top, if they can. Just don't hide where it all comes from or is assembled. Transparency, not some clever meaning of Made in America that merely means the frame was painted here.
 
Could be Italian build Husqy's rebadged. I read that there are thousands of older Husqy's still left in a warehouse. Makes sense selling a boatload to another company.

That's cool but also sickening at the same time. Knowing that there will be a chinese knockoff just sucks. Stick with copying Hondas

New owners are pushing all this I'd guess ... SP said he was taking on the japan brands ... Many here may not be separating sales like this to 3rd world countries from dirt bike sales in the 1st world. Its a big open world, you gotta expand your horizons to follow these guys.

Available parts will make or break selling whatever these machines are over a period of time.

There are only so many parts out there currently for these bikes ... If these bikes sell by the 10s of thousands to whatever country in the near term, someone will have to crank up the parts production numbers well past the bike sales numbers of the current, active 1st world sales numbers.
