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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2012 Huskies

I'm not really surprised either ... After seeing the push on the street models and reading the article on the bmw boss, this seems about in line ..now we need to read the specs and see if something like gear ratios might have changed ....

I'm happy with the current looks of the machines for 011 and 012

Having bikes state side early will help a great deal ...
 
I was hoping for different fuel injection.

Other than a redesigned 250/300 2T, there isnt a lot that Husky needs to do to keep their lineup competitive.

I was told 2yrs ago but a Husky IT Mgr that we would see a new 250/300 2T EFI in MY13.

Expanding the lineup to street bikes seems to be the priority right now. I hope it doesnt blow up in their face like it did with KTM.
 
Apparently EFI on a 2t bike is not trivial ... Not alot of examples to copy from either ...

bmw does have credentials in the street bike market and that should help here... even if not here but in EU ...

Huh? KTM is very successful with the 950 / 900 no? Thats the market the new 900 should be competing in.

Ask a KTM dealer how successful they have been in the last couple of years. The 950s are welded to the floor in most shops up here.

OK. Well i guess I mean i see them all over the place down here and all over ADV. Seems like there are piles of them out there. I just read an article in a dealer mag saying this market is one of the larger growing ones.

I think BMW's own GS is a good seller no?
 
the '12 TC250 sure looks serious.... I wonder how the performance will be with the new cylinder? Anything concrete on release dates?
