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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hi just bought my self a 2012 husqvarna wr125 just wondering how it will cope on the roads is it any good for long distance road rides
 
NO
They are more than capable of a short trip but will drive you scatty hunting for 7th and 8th gear.
I ride mine around 2 miles to get to my little riding/practice area and hated it as a 125, loathed the 144 and detest the 165 !!! once there I bloody well love them all :lol:
 
A road bike they most certainly are not. You can scoot up some roads, but the bike is a woods bike. We do have to ride some paved roads in the state forest when we ride, but I'm not a fan of it.
 
I've got one myself a decided to ride it to work one day for a bit of fun. It's geared to low and really needs a higher ratio 6th gear. I did see mine hit 130 km/h at one time on the way to work, but it was buzzin seriously hard and I think the speedo was way over optimistic in what it was telling me. I could be done but I'd also recommend a cush drive rear hub to make it easier on the tranny. I believe on here someone mentioned that some of the earlier 125's had a true wide ratio box.
 
as long it is short stretches and or a lot of shifting involved (gnarly urban riding) its fine, but the ring road would already be an annoyance
if you gear it so it gets the speed you want in the highest gear without revving it in the destructive range, its behaving like wet towel in the lower gears
