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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Husqvarna/Husaberg/KTM visual comparo from Pala MX SoCal

I shall invest in a trip out there.... and go for walk on the trail, with my dark glasses, waving my white stick. All I want is a photo of when we meet around a tight corner.

i had a lefty so long that to this day it feels weird to kick on the right side. I miss it actually. You could lean he bike over for serious leverage and barely put any effort into kicking it. Way less energy expended.

im glad im not the only one that has an easier time kicking with the left. i think its whatever you learned with...is there really a difference? right or left? i do think having the throttle on the right, that left kickers are easier to kick off or on the bike...with a right kicker, it seems hard to stand off and kick with the left leg...

yeah, learned to kick on a left kicker. once you get it down you dont want to switch. of course everythings going to push button start so it will be null and void within 5 years anyway

Because the new owner has proclaimed that everything BMW did was poor/old technology.

C'mon, this isn't true at all. I don't think KTM has ever spoken negatively about the technology on the BMW bikes.

The reason they aren't using it is twofold:

-BMW probably owns some of the technology
and
-KTM is leveraging their own technology, which they are familiar with, on these bikes. There's no good reason (from a business or quality standpoint) to have a separate line of bikes which uses very different technology, that the manufacturer and dealers aren't familiar with.

Looks like they are targeting MX not Enduro??

What would make you say that? Husky has a full line of enduro/offroad bikes, just like Husaberg did. They are putting together a big offroad race team too.
 
No, it's twue, it's twue. When they interviewed Pierrer he said the main reason why Husqvarna wasn't selling bikes was due to the old, outdated, odd technology mixed with too much emphasis on street offerings. Wade through the thread on the purchase and see for yourself.

All he wanted was the stickers man.
