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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Another zero for me please.

EDIT: These guys are our brothers but I have no plans to add this to my stable of Huskies .. And you gotta give these $bags credit for building one-off bikes looking for a winner...
 
Well it figures, a KTM I may really like and it's not coming here :(. Well thanks for the post up anyway K. Man light weight, low seat, e-start, etc....
 
Seen that last night5 too. Hope there is gonna be blue and white version. The Sherco 290 is pretty sweet too but from what I read hard to set up and poorly built around a good motor.
 
This looks like an Orange version of the new Sherco 290. Very low seat height. The Sherco is basicaly a Trials bike with a seat... Here's a great article in the Sherco. It's the August addition, page 12.

I like the concept, lighter, shorter, just less. for some this might be a great bike if it did not cost as much as a full on bike.

A 2 stroke without a giant exhaust, why don't they make them like that with every 2 stroke?

the pipe is where the power is. This bike is retuned for less power overall but smooth low end and mid to fit with the bikes mission. I'm sure it makes far less power than a 250SX. Lots of that went with the pipe. Trails bikes also have very small out of the way pipes but again, make a lot less peek power. All that said IMHO manufacturers should have redesigned the 2 strokes a long time ago to hide the pipe. Lots of ways to do it they just dont. The aftermarket loves them.

ossa gas tanks in the rear the engine is backwards so airfilter is behing rad shrouds, one sexy salvini pipe tho. love it.

ktm exhaust expansion chamber and reverberating gasses holding back unburnt mix in the cylinder... maybe it doesnt have an expansion chamber because its injected and thus had regulated fuel flow direct to cylinder no straiht through from carb no gasses needing holding back.. just a thought i may be wrong as ive not any interest in injection but that makes sense in my world.
