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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Beta, so it begins...

So are you going to get one of their demo bikes for "product development"? :).

I really like the betas. I just wish they had a smaller bore like a 250 four stroke and fuel injection. So did someone refer you? Dealer already knew you? What's the story? Either way its awesome and you deserve an expansion.
 
Too funny this timing of yours!
I just finished my BYOB order for a new 520RS, sadly the 449 is getting sold or sitting for awhile until the current dealer blowout sales are done.

May I ask why? My guess is transmission ratios? I really like mt 511 but wish the trans was wider. Taller 6th is all I need. Good luck with the Beta, they seem nice. Suspension seems soft for the faster stuff but nice for woods stuff. If you have a selection on springs you might ask around to those in the know and get the right ones for you.
 
BYOB is build you own bike, you can add almost anything you want at build, springs and shocks included, for a substantial savings.
I love the 449, fuel range sucks is my biggest issue, the transmission is fine in the dirt, horrid on the blacktop but who rides there purposely anyhow? I'm also very leery of all the change in ownership during the last few years (entirely my issue, to me it seems no one is standing behind the company.) Plus, I get a kick-start backup! lol

Well congrats on the new bike! Make sure to post some pics. I've been to the website before and built a really expensive supermoto lol
