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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Who knows how close this bike will be to the final production version, but this is apparently the 2017 crf450 pre production.

10 years ago who would have thought that honda and yamaha would be playing catch up to Husky and KTM. There gp yamahas have electric start and now the honda. Clutch location seems to be similar to the new KTM's and huskys also.

is it just me or do all the jap bikes seem to have big low hanging bellies compared to ktm/husky? like the area of frame/engine cases under header. makes em look heavy!
 
Worries me that a guy has to hang on to the back of the bike just in case it jumps into gear and shoots off on its on accord :lol:
 
I bet the dirt bike magazines will label it "revolutionary"

Having said that, I always find it hard to fault a Honda after riding one.
 
Honda does have a knack for ergonomics. But, to me, they just have no soul. I feel very little mojo riding them.

Either that or it's so heavy it takes two guys to hold it up. They both looked like they needed a step stool to throw a leg over it. Anybody else ever wonder where they ride in Japan?
