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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Dungey won the 450 a second place in the 250...where was the Husky factory team?
They must got some factory hand mirors!:doh:
 
And what was up with RC standing on a block of wood in the beginning to match the height of the other two?
 
I think you're getting obsessed with the 450SX...... Good for KTM, but it took over 20 years of trying, to get this first win in the top SX class. Eleven years ago Husky beat KTM to win the first SX 125 class (now 250F) on a Euro bike. Travis Preston at Houston on a FBF CR125. Granted (pardon the pun) Langston threw the win away hot doging, but you must finish to win!
 
KTM wins a supercross. We have truly reached the epicenter of the time-space continuum. Excuse me while I search for machete to gag myself with. :rolleyes::thumbsdown:

the challenge of trying is a noble cause, anything but a rice machine to Me,We won many races on KTM
We're racing Husky now and doing very good with it,I realy like that KTM came up with a single cam 450
but still I am buying a 450 soon and it will be a husky,the 2010 TC250 is great,the 2012 CR125 is awesome and the 449 is next:thumbsup:
 
I thought nearly everyone would have said at one time that whatever brand James Stewart rode (or Ricky before him) was not the deciding factor but the large difference in talent.

So KTM just stepped up a little and got into the bidding for the proven top talent. Who knows if the bike is better ?
 
It is the 450. I just researched it. I guess I should be happy the Japs have finally been humbled. Ok, I'm happy.
 
I looked at lap times on the Lites and the foreign rider Musquin ran 53 second laps the whole race, not one 52 second and not one at 54. Pretty amazing consistency
 
I just wish KTM would have went all out and put RD on a 250SX 2-stroke; that would have been a slap in the jap bike faces. I like RD but I'm no KTM fan. I did notice that the 250's and 450's were almost running the same times so I think a 250 2-stroke could compete in the 450 class with a top rider of course.

I think a 300 would but why not have a class for 2ts only. I'm not one bit interested in any 4t bike, don't get me wrong I like watching the skill of the riders, but the televised GNCC and Endurocross events that let riders ride what they want in fair competition have me riveted to the television. When the DI 2ts hit production the Jap big 3 will have to leverage the AMA to change the rules again because the 250s will be beating the 450s.

Thats right!! They sold em all on 4-strokes because of emissions and blah,blah,blah, Look at the Ski doo snowmobile technology!! I for one cannot wait!!! I have tried to ride 4-strokes fast and for some reason it just will not work. Just like I know a few guys who can ride a 450 like a mad man and can't ride a 2-stroke. I think they make more money off of 4-strokes was part of the push. I guess even if it is orange it's not a Jap bike!
 
With the 250F's running only a second slower than the 450's I think a TM 250 2-stroke with the right rider could do it now. I wonder what that would do to the price of 450F's. I clocked an A rider at or club MX track making some laps on my son's 2011 TM250 2-stroke and he was 2 to 3 seconds a lap faster on it than he was his own Honda 450R. When he got off he had a huge grin on his face and said "boy this thing is fun"! I told him his lap times and he couldn't believe it. He said " I was over jumping, comming in to hot, and haven't been on a 2-stroke in years; unreal". It was very cool to watch a rider as fast as him on a 250 2-stroke.
 
I haven't ridden many 4ts mainly because I'm not interested in buying one. I have traded bike with guys who are curious about my Husky. The last guy had a Honda 250f, it felt to me like an underpowered POS to me. He liked my Husky better than his Honda and his KTM200.
