• 2 Stroke Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Italy - About 1989 to 2014
     WR = 2st Enduro & CR = 2st 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

All 2st 2 stroke market share

I've noticed that it's pretty hard to find a magazine article featuring 2t bikes. Here on CH I noticed the ratio of posts is 2:1 for 4ts and on the KTM forum there are more posts in the 2t column. On the Gas Gas it's about 6:1 for 2ts which is understandable since they are mainly a 2t maker. When I look through the magazine rack at the grocery store I feel fortunate if within a mag I find more than 5 pages dedicated to a 2t topic or model. Is this really the market ratio 5 pages out of 100? :excuseme: I'm not trying to start a 2t vs. 4t argument, we all let our dollars do the talking when we buy a bike. A conspiracy paranoid person would claim that the big 3 Jap bike makers are controlling the media. I just want to find good articles and bike reviews about 2ts without buying and sifting through the 95 pages of 4t. The more I read about 4ts the less I want one. What is your favorite 2t mag?
 
New 4 strokes are where the newer more exciting to talk about tech is coming from these days. When DFI 2 strokes become a reality you will see more of them. also 4 strokes are favored like 100-1 over 2 strokes for MX and a lot of mags are socal MX mags.

I wonder how much of a handicap the DFI 2 strokes will have to give the 4ts to make it "fair"... maybe a 100cc vs a 250? Back when the air was clean and sex was dirty 250 class meant run what you brung as long as it wasn't bigger than 250cc.
 
we'll have to "re-train" all the young whipper-snappers to get on board with the "those great NEW 2 stroke" bikes ...
+1 to what Motosportz said ... hopefully, we'll even see clean enough 2t for STREET use ! Until then, I'll be blastin my bumble-bee lookin RZ350 around town ! It smells good, when it smokes ! legally ,no less ...
