I was up at BD and in the back work shop was this 09 Husaberg, and another earlier model 'berg. Word had it that this was the best handling bike the youngster had ever ridden (raced desert on both 'bergs). Had a scotts damper mounted up like a WER stabilizer (low on the bottom triple clamp), and was RED stickered (not green), FMF pipe fitted, and FI. Seat popped off like a LT-R450s (cable pull mechanism), air filter was tool less to access, forks/triple clamps were set narrow 1/4" between the fork & front tire on either side, ultra nice billet machined triple clamps, the radiators were hand tig welded. The mass centralization was said to be the key to the handling. Sorry for the lousy camera phone pics thats all I had. Definitely has me rethinking my deposit on the 09 te450. That Husaberg is one nice bike that was really easy on the eyes.

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Red sticker with EFI... amazing.
What that means to the non-California people reading - bikes with Red stickers have more restrictions what time of year & where they can be ridden. Red stickered bikes presumably have more emissions coming out the muffler. It also could mean that this bike did not get the paper work correctly done with the government.

I rode the 450 and 570 and LOVED them.

I was thinking that too. Never ridden one but they look great. Obviously you can't do anything with the tank size except add a supplemental when you need it. But, the big thing in my neck o the woods is that there are no dealers. By comparison, Husky has a bunch.

I've ridden them too and with an 08 to see the comparison, the 09 feeeeeels way different.

I rode a 2009 570 berg a couple of weeks ago and was really overwhelmed at what an amazing machine it is. Makes the 10k price a bit more palatable and here in Ohio we can plate them with the addition of the factory D/S kit. The dealer told me he had already sold three 570's and two 450's to guys who wanted trail bikes.
plating them in Washington as well. No problem.
