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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Husky? NO! Moto Villa

Piggy back four cylinder. It's got that Augusta look to it?

I purchased a Yamaha RZ500. I figured out quickly it wasnt the bike for me. There four cylinder two stroke bikes weren't legal when brand new they came into the USA as used bikes. I have a co worker who helped me in my beginning of working on bikes. He never asked for nothing. He told me he always wanted a RZ. The bike was worth $8,000 I picked it up in excellent condition but the carbs needed cleaning. I paid $3,500 for it and sold it to him for what I paid for it to thank him for all his help. Plus when his buddy kind of had one but didn't sell it to him I had to help him out. Friendship is worth more than making money.

Anyway the Suzuki 1200cc bandit fit me better
 
They look like kind of late 80's honda-ish and newer in some pictures like there still offered today are they?
 
man i bet that thing can be a handful :eek: wonder how big it is??


Ill guess by the size of the fins on the cylinders and the distance apart of the head bolts each cylinder is 125cc making it a 500cc. Plus the 500cc four cylinders were popular in Suzuki gamma and the Yamaha RZ.

It's not a vee setup on the cylinders both crankshafts ran in reverse of each other right? She has two separate cranks.

i hit that same g-out looks like production ended in the early 80s but i found info on kram-it as new as 01 the kram-it is an Italian made Kramer they were a German maker i found lots of pixs on pinterest
 
Just saw one of those Motessa's sitting in a barn last year. She would not sell it.
Guess it will rot out and be worth nothing.
