• 4 Stroke Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Italy - About 1989 to 2014
     TE = 4st Enduro & TC = 4st Cross

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

What brand is the 450 Husky motor after 2007? On another forum someone thought when BMW took things over at some point the 450 motors changed to Kymco. To be honest, I don't know either way what they are.

I know the new 900 is the motor from the BMW F800 GS, but that's it and totally different from my above question.
 
The 900 is not released. The motor in that bike is a bored out 800, which was designed by Rotax (not BMW). IMO as well as personal experience, that is NOT a good thing.


AFAIK, every Husqvarna up to 2010 models (inclusive) shipped with Husqvarna engines. The same holds true for the 2011 line, with one exception...

The 2011 TE449/511 bikes use a modified BMW 450 engine which is NOT a Kymco design. Kymco does, however, assemble the engine for BMW under BMW supervision. The bikes are doing great. Winning races, too.
 
From someone on another forum.

"
The 450cc single used in the 450X Enduro was designed by BMW and is built on a contract by Kymco (part of how they keep the price at $8K, I am sure). The bike is still assembled in Berlin. "

Perhaps this is what the other guy read, the 450 BMW and not the Husky.
