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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

First that disgusting SMQ thing now this...

What are designers thinking these days?

at least it's got an Aprilia engine..........(maybe rotax???)

the SMQ carries red headed BMW 450X motor.

PS the nice Ape is in the upper right of the photo!!! the MX450 is very well finished.
 
The exhaust looks like a parallel twin. Does Aprilia make one. It probably does not have a real motor at all.
 
Did you see the colors of the early Aprilia trials bikes?
Every time I would get it out, my wife would just break out laughing:lol:.
Must be a family member of the trials bike designers:banghead:
 
I wouldn't be surprised if it is desinged by the same guy!
Worse yet.........Some Italian engineers 7 year old son with crayons!

if you took off the front brakes it would make a killer flat track bike!! Sorry Kelly I kinda think it looks cool too, thanks for the pictures though!!
 
I need those tires on my Multistrada. And please don't call the MTS the ugly duckling, they grow on you once you see what it can do (or rather you can do on it)

I want a Multistada, but wish they still had the 620 in yellow!:oldman:
 
The shock looks rather Buellish...

I don't know...

<...scratching head...>

I think I'm gonna have to go with Kelly on this one :thumbsdown:

just styling exercises....been done in the auto/moto world for a long time, public opinion test. Where do we go next? At least the euros are building outside the Japan style morph box. (the exhaust is Buellish too)

4 me the SMQ is a slick canyon carver style ( kind of a Roland Sands style naked bike)with the exception of the nose,, its like a barn door as far as aero dyn goes, its just a styling exercise,,,,but the BMW motor may be a harbinger of the Husky future.
