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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

CSC Announces the RX-3 Cyclone - A 250cc Adventure Touring Bike for less than $3000

What is the wideness of the six speed transmission? What is the bore and stroke? Stuff like that isn't in the specs linked in this thread. Probably has a tool kit in the weight.

I actually bought a new left over yamaha xt 250 lately. Just amazing how many things on it are marked made in Japan. It supposedly has a ceramic cylinder, the wideness ratio is about 3.5 kind of a big jump first to second. They do dress it up as an adventure bike for some place in the world. It has a lot of hard points that stuff could be bolted to. I started out on a BSA 250 not sure how that compares, chances are times are good.

Are the wheels strong enough? I don't keep track of the Chinese brands but my in person exposure has been to wheels that were not sufficiently robust.

It has been almost a year since post 1 here anyone bought one? Much activity about them over on advrider.com?
