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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Do you ever see another TE610/630 in the wild?

So this year I've been doing a lot more off-road stuff than ever before. Did two dual-sport rides, ridden a bunch in the Pine Barrens and last weekend did my first off-road trail ride (Adventure Anthracite). In this time, I've seen a few Italian Huskies, but not a single TE610/630. In fact, I've not seen a single 610/630 at all in they years + change that I've owned the bike. Kind of surprising, but maybe I've overestimated the popularity of these bikes.

For the record the Husky's performed like a champ, despite my um... "developing" offroad skills. Still struggle in the super tight stuff and massive rock gardens give me problems, but otherwise it can handle anything you throw at it. This was taken yesterday after a day of fun on the trails.

They're rare, where I live (central Virginia.) I'd imagine they're more plentiful out west. A couple of years ago I saw a 610 parked in the downtown area where I live- I've always sworn that if I run into that person I'm gonna try to pitch a trade (my 630 for the 610.) Not seen it since, though. :)
 
The only Husqvarna 610 ive EVER seen in person belongs to me, the other Husqvarnas ive seen were in the showroom where i bought mine, in Newcastle, and its closed now :confused: Never seen a 630 in person.
 
Even where they were made, here in Italy, it doesn't happen very often to see one. Until some years ago there were more of them, but they're becoming rarer and rarer.
There was an Italian forum in which, in a certain period, there were often new subscribers saying that they had a 610 and then the other members usually wrote «Here's another one».
 
There are a few sightings in Victoria and NSW. Nothing to compare them with really. The 630 is a better all rounder than the DRZ640/400's and the KTM690. The DRZ's are super reliable and (yawn) underwhelming. The 690 is a tad better in the real tight stuff but not as good on the highway-find them very buzzy. As an all round bike it meets it design specs brilliantly.

Supermoto Junkie rally, just happens to be several Huskys in there. Mostly KTMs, couple Hondas, a Husaberg or two.
The white one in the first pic is a guy from Chicago, he's on here, I even opened up his cans like I did mine.

The white one in the second pic was someone I met in Brevard, NC. He sold the bike (babies will make you do that) to someone else nearby who already had another 630.

My local dealer (dropped Husky when they were bought out by KTM) got 3 630 SMS's and a couple TE's
