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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Anyone Ridden The 2015 Sherco 450?

Husqvarna
Pro Class
Sherco Australia keep pushing the release date back further and further. (Latest being April, was originally November last year)

I'm keen to get a new Non-KTM bike this year.
So, does anybody have a ride impression?
Is the Sherco worth the wait??
Testing the 2015 Yami WR250 in a couple of weeks.
 
Customer of mine in europe has one and has nothing but great things to say about it. No personal experience exact on the older ones which is a different bike.

Thanks Kelly.

I'm really very keen to try one, getting itchy trigger fingers waiting =(
I'm hoping it is just a supply issue due to popularity oversea & and not some flaw that needed correction that is the hold up.
They had the worldwide media release in August lat year from memory, they might have to re-release them as 2016 bikes soon :D

So he's happy with it eh? What sort of riding doe he do with it?
 
Didn't KTM have a bit of input on this bike along with the fact it has WP suspension components?? I like it but the lack of a kickstart backup makes it a no brainer for me. No Sherco on my wish list. But would like to see some reviews!
 
I touched one a few weeks back.

There are a handful of pre-production 450's in Australia now being tested and then will be shipped back to France before the production run.
Available later this year is my best guess.

I certainly hope KTM DIDN'T have anything to do with it at all.
I would think being French, they would have done it all themselves.
I imagine WP is just a supplier like the other components on the bike.
As for no kickstart, it's not an issue. I don't have a crank handle in my car and in nearly 2 years of riding the TE449, I haven't been caught short with the electric start.
It's just extra weight to cart around and all the efi bikes run a capacitor for flat battery push starts.
 
yes i think kick starting is going the way of the dodo bird we will come to except it just like L/C, P/V, EFI, disk brakes single shocks and USD forks its just evolution
