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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Uh oh. I think I'm getting a TR.

Whooooa... I leave you guys alone for a minute and poor Cosmo gets dog piled by TR650 fans :D

Seriously, though. You might search the threads on supportive dealers/dealers with MOSS and see if there are any options nearby. Even if you had to order from parts from Bill's, Eurosport, or wherever, the TR650 is major bang for the Dual Sport buck, and Perrier has stated he plans to support the old bikes for quite some time.

Ride the heck out of the bike and sell it for parts in 3-4 years and make most or all of your money back. If after a few years I sell mine (and I don't plan to) for half what I paid for it, that's $3300. That is pretty cheap and fun riding. Nothing else on the market is even close.

By law in the us they have to caryy parts for ten years.

Soooo.... my KLR can do all of 55 MPH for any length of time. Maybe up to 70, but that's at 6000-6500 RPM, can't recall. I'm not comfortable doing that level of RPM for long periods of time on the old KLR. I assume the Strada is a 6 speed? What kind of RPMs are you guys spinning at 80 MPH? Can you run it at that speed for hours on end?

When I use the bike to go fly fishing up north, I load it up with food, water and gear. And I'm usually doing a 10 - 11 PM mad freeway rush to get home. Would be nice to be able to put a radar detector on there and fly home at 80 on some of those middle of nowhere freeway stretches.

I do 80+ all the time here in socal otherwise you get ran over its 5sp and does about 4200 at 80
 
Don't know if different countries have different gearing, but in Australia my stock standard Terra is just under 4000rpm at 100kph (62mph), and on 5000rpm at 130kph (approx 80mph?). The bike feels very happy at 130kph
