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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2014 Husky's not available in the U.S.?

I hope they eventually re-add high end dual-sports as well.

I don't know. The way they have to restrict them to get them to pass EPA just guts them, then the buyers either get a crappy running bike, or have to spend $500 to get them to run right. Frankly, to get my TE310 to run right in the dirt made it virtually useless on the street. Short jaunts on gravel connecting roads between trails is all it is good for, and any sustained riding over 45 mph really is no fun.
 
Cool. I hope so. I've wanted a Husky for a long time.

You state that you have wanted a Husky for a long time.
Why not buy a Husky that is on the floor now at a great discount, or a used Husky ?

I just might do that. Don't know a whole lot of people looking to be degraded asking for help in choosing.

So, Whats wrong in waiting and buying a new 2014 Austrian built Husky? That's an option too. I have a herd of Italian built Husqvarnas - and I like them very much, but the new stuff looks great also. Plus, KTMs and Husaberg are awesome bikes too. Going back to what I said in another post - Husaberg and KTM are where they are , because of Husky linage.

P.s - I just bought a 2013 TXC250r. Most likely will get a TE300 in the spring, too. It's all GOOD!
 
I seriously don't think anyone is trying to degrade anyone here.

Right now is a GREAT time for huge savings on Italian Huskys, and you'll love any bike you pick for sure.

I have picked up 3 since the announcement of the S.P. purchase, all at great pricing.
