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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

For what it's worth. I just read the Aug edition of MotoSprint MX they had a 10 page 2013 Husqvarna test article (big fotos so not all text).
All I can do is translate the applicable 2014 mentions.
"After chatting with the engineers present at the test, we understand the probability of very big updates for 2014."
" They talked about a all new chassis to house a renovated 4 stroke and the unedited 2 strokes are currently being tested with this chassis. No mention of a 450cc machine with a "traditional" chassis. "

There was more, but nothing specific about 2 strokes. According to author they declined to offer info on estart enduro 2 strokes.

I have very mixed feelings about this.

I do as well, I will be sad to see the cts go, especially since they have a new frame that allows the bike to squat down on acceleration and in the turns. The frame needed old husky technology with the oil breather built into it up top. I am hopeful that the new engine includes Beemer technology and not back to the old.
 
Sprechen Sie Deutsch? Parli tedesco? My grand parents were from Italy and my father even raced for Ferarri. We like Germans, as long as they aren't trying to conquer the world. ;)

Italians trust Germans but don't like them, Germans like Italians but don't trust them.

Understandable knowing any world history between these guys ...

The new dirt bike models is where the rubber meets the road with bmw\Husqvarna and I'm not talking about any estart button either ...

Pretty much what I learned back when I was racing boats in Europe.
