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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

250-500cc Husky Decision

OK, here is the decision. I am looking at 3 bikes:

1- 2010 KTM 250xc w/ Rekluse and a few other goodies
2-2011 Husqvarna wr300 w/ pro-circuit silencer and exhaust, skidplate, it is stock other than that with +-15 hours, new top-end, still has stock sprockets and chain.
3-Brand New 2012 Husky wr300- new out of the box

All three are priced within a few hundred dollars of each other.
My last bike was a 09 KTM300xc. Great bike, expensive bike, I can do without the estart, what I need to know follows:

My big question is do the wr's handle as good or better than the KTMs in the tight stuff (forgot to mention I ride 80% enduros 20% hare scrambles).
How heavy are they with a full tank of fuel (I know what the sales crap says what's a more accurate number)?
I have read a couple different reviews that people really struggle to get traction with the 300 (too much power for some) I am assuming some of that is gearing, anybody feel like the bike "doesn't hook up"?

Anything else you guys can add would be great. I'm going to look at the 2011 tomorrow anything I should be looking for on a slightly used bike
