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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hi guys! I have some questions! I have the possibility to buy a Husky 250 built by Cheney Racing in UK. They handbuilt bikes for Husqvarna and made 20 250 2-strokes in 1969, and i can buy Nr 9. it´s totally standard and unrestored. Used condition and need a new piston and restoration of the cylinder. What could a bike like this be worth? I know it depends a lot on the history, and i wonder where i can find facts about this bike. I sent a message to Cheney Racing as they still exist, but haven´t got any answer yet. And if i can´t find any more info of it, what´s it worth then? Any help appreciated:notworthy:!

Try to post your questions at this UK based forum. You'll be surprised of the knowledge the members got about old Cheneys there ;)
 
I agree with Michel. The bike was up for sale a couple of times before and obviously too much was asked for it every time.
The problem with a bike as rare as this one is to find the right buyer.
You have to ask yourself how much the bike would be worth to you, and you could be that buyer.
Hopefully will you receive a good response from the gurus at MX-trax.

Please keep us updated if you buy this bike.

Ok, thanks for the info guys! It would be fun to buy and restore, but i guess you´re right about the pricetag. If i knew there was a famous rider it would be another thing, but i know nothing about it´s history at the moment. I stay low and play with my WR 300 and think about it:thumbsup:!
