• 2 Stroke Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Italy - About 1989 to 2014
     WR = 2st Enduro & CR = 2st Cross

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

125-200cc Future Parts Availability?

I know exactly what they were selling for. I was looking at them at the time.

I think it's sort of the same with all brands, we just notice it with the husky's because that's what we're looking at

Some yes, but I look at everything, and see people asking less money for similar age/condition YZ 125 and 250's. I think the Husky is a superior bike - by a lot, but it's an orphan with little to no support. To me that should affect the price of what was a blowout priced bike in the first place.
 
I agree that those prices are way too high. I have an 09 WR250 that because of how well it's maintained and mods it's probably a better bike than those and I'd take $3500 without a second thought.... and it's my favorite bike of the 4 that I own.
 
Just thought I'd bring this up to date. Look carefully at this bag containing my water pump shaft for a 2006 WR250.14763738488922063467850.jpg
 
Both, it's from Italy but distributed by KTM. Slow to be sure but hopefully a sign of things to come. Halls had it in stock ready to go when I ordered.

It's only a matter of time before we start seeing parts bikes for sale.

At this point I'm on the fence whether I'll keep my CR and keep it going as long as I can, or sell it while I can still get something for it and switch over to an SX150

I'm going to put a new top end in this winter and ride the snot out out of it until it blows then.....I'll post a parts bike hehehehehe
 
I've been thinking about this very thread recently.
In the last few weeks I've ridden a WR300, KTM 144, 2017 X trainer, as well as a Beta 250RR and 300 RR. After riding the Betas, I really wanted an X trainer. Smaller frame, lightweight, good suspension, and great motor. Then I went home and pulled my 150 out to wash, and took it for a ride around my property. Still scheming in my head how I'm going to bring a new X trainer home, I rode the Husky, realizing that I already have the best bike I've ever ridden. The handling and suspension is as good or better than any of the bikes I rode, and I have that motor working so good the KTM144 was a slug in comparison.

Sometimes you don't realize what you have until you ride a different bike , so I've decided to keep it, keep wrenching on it, and try to make it as good as I can. In the meantime, I'm keeping my eyes peeled for another one in need of attention, to use as my spare/parts bike/backup bike.

Let me know when you're ready :cheers:
 
I totally agree with u Zomby woof. Had mine listed then pulled it off when I took a GasGas 250 out for a rip......the little husky is just too much fun...hands down. Was also looking at pulling trigger on new but....my new approach is just that...ride it till she's dead then go buy new or another used rig tba ;)
 
Smashed a hole in my intermediate clutch cover this past weekend without knowing and rode the bike 25km of single track with no oil in it. I was considering parting it out but then decided to fix it. The bike runs and shifts fine. I guess I'll run it till it grenades. I look at new bikes all the time but once I get on the little bike and tear up the single track, I can't think of any bike I like better or could ride better.
 
I had a friend go trail riding for a day with no oil (he forgot to refill) in the transmission of his husky 250, long story short it ran for years and at least 10,000 more miles.
