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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

GAS GAS EC300R is here

Bill, how does the new EC300 compare in height and openness to my 2009 wr250. I had an 03 EC200DE that was a really good bike but it was just too small for me.
 
Its just a bit lower in seat height but sitting and riding position,when I jumped on it for the day it fit me just like a Husky .it steers a bit quicker but i felt right at home on it all day long and really need to get back on my FE250 for a day soI know wich oneI want to race next.

Looks good except for the graphics and colors :eek: Orange, red, blue, purple, white, black with little stripeys. Clearly a design that is consistent and coordinated would look better to be honest. My comment only since some feel it's beautiful. Maybe they should have made the bike purple to match the rear shock, or maroon :cool:

**** I forgot to add it looks like there is some pink on there too!

Understand though that *this* bike is the limited edition race replica, one of only 1000 built.

I can tell you that it has all of the improvements and refinements that my 360WXC should have had. It's fantastic!
 
Buddy of mine just picked up a 2012 model that's been street plated. It's power transition is incredibly smooth. He was recommended by the previous owner to start it with the kicker when cold. Then, e start all day. I'm hoping to get his FMF stealth muffler off him once he upgrades to something different.
 
I know this is and old thread but I like this bike! Give it to me with no electric start and figure out how to trim the fat and it would be sweet! Since 12 the gassers are getting more refined with the brake pedal and the subframe. But need to be lighter for a fast old guy. Rode my buddies 11 six day 300 last weekend. I still have a soft spot Fir them. Did this bike sell and what is the price????
 
Iand doesnt feel heavy at all REALLY LIKE /LOVE THE 2014 GAS GaS EC300 ,Im riding one now and it doesnt feel heavy at all.I think the 14s are a bit lighter and amazing pulling motor awesome traction yet when on the gas its as fast as anything.We have one a the NW gathering for 4 days for people to ride.The Fe250 is just plain awesome also just havent been selling.We cant get enough 350s ever so with dealer incentives a guy can save almost $1500 off MSRP on the FE250 and almost $2000 off the last of the 2014 GAS GAs Bikes.
 
They said that much lighter. But weigh it. I heard from a reliable source (very reliable) more like 4 pounds. They are truly nice bikes but a real and I mean real 19 to 20 pounds heavier then a similer bike the KTM/husky s and gassers have been weighed at the same time on the same scale. Yes they do feel light when riding but. The brakes heat for a reason......heavy pig....without question I've had at least seven of them in 200 250 and 300cc versions hec a pink 97 even! But until they go on a serious diet or I quit racing I have to not get suckered in by the fact they are so good looking!! While on a diet. Pitch the Nissan brakes and put on brembos as well!! And install ipd graphics.To lose weight the cool looking frame must have to go.....if that bike were lighter I'd be on it****************************************
