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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

someone sold the solid works files to the Shineray company......thats biz in this day and age. Husqvarna Italy is done.....all those model lines are dead,,,,seems like they are popping up in India and China.
 
Some of the shineray stuff does not look like junk. they are real good at copying. Looks like a DRZ250 motor, KTM swingarm, KTM triple clamps, husky muffler... etc

Emm so will that mean that all 2012/ 2013 stock that is sitting on dealers showroom floors will now be going cheap. Those photos are from the Milan show last week.

No these are all older generation bikes not even yet built in China not Italian built equivalents.
 
Ahh china.. yes I bought a chinese pit bike a few years back, thing rattled apart in about a months time lol

But any new dirt bike just looks so damn sexy to me
 
Hey, as long as all relative replacement parts are available, easy to source and inexpensive to buy why not?
 
PS all you need is an original, a laser 3d scanner, the coverted 3d soft copy files, machines and castings and you have your own bike.
 
DRZ250 is air/oil cooled. Not sure what motor they are copying here.

I'm sure KTM had no problem selling the Italian tooling to the Chinese, to offset the purchase costs. They never had any interest in the bikes, whatsoever. They were just after the name.

KTM just announced that they are officially selling their brand in China a couple of weeks ago in partnership with a Chinese motorcycle manufacturer CFmoto.There is talk of a Chinese manufactured KTM.
