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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

'10 450 and 510 and 610?

Im guessing all 3 have new motors, and more.

Wouldnt surprise me to see a 650 type bike with a stressed frame, etc.
Perhaps dual overhead 600-650? I mean that would make sense.

Ty Davis mentioned the 450/510 new motors last month. Not sure when we will see these new bikes at the races, guessing later this year.

I have ZERO inside info about any of this. Just having a beer and thinking out loud.

Anyone care to share? I mean i've got more beer in the refrigerator. :)
 
I don't think you'll see a production version of a new motor for two more years. I think you're going to see KYB forks and B.N.G. in 2010.

B.N.G.= Biscuits and Gravy?:eek:
 
After they waited to debut the TC 250 it makes you wonder if they'll just put that in the other 250's in 2010, at least the TXC.

From what I have heard the new motor will be in the TC and TE for 2010. TE will be 6 speed and FI. I don't know about the TXC. Of course this could change.

Yes That would be a nice bike.:thumbsup:

This would be my choice. KTM and GasGas have 200's. Husky needs to offer one too. They did it with the 300, so hopefully a 200 will come next. I love 200's.
 
I'm sure this will be an unpopular thing to say, but...

My wants for the next couple of years would be to keep the product line somewhat streamlined. I'd rather have Husqvarna do a few things really well as opposed to a whole bunch of different bikes - like ktm. How many acronyms do they have now? :D

It may make sense to have BMW do the adventure bikes and Husky the dirt bikes for instance. Although I would miss the 610 greatly. I'm just thinking about things from the bottom line financial point of view.

Maybe they could recommend another companies power up kit to bring up the 125 2st to 200cc to satisfy peoples cravings....

Maybe?

Engine's basic architecture won't allow it to be taken to near 200cc.
 
I'm with Coffee. I would like to see the product line stay streamlined and really focus on all the little details that would go a long ways to really making the 2010 product line a real good value for the customer.
