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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

  • 2 Stroke Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Austria - About 2014 & Newer
     TE = 2st Enduro & TC = 2st Cross

TE/TC History video

If you watch this whole transition from any past take over.
They are doing a great job marketing and promoting the new Husky's.
They keep drilling History to re establish the brand and getting riders and bikes in the eye of the sport.
Too bad BMW did not do this from get go. They are here to stay and grow market share.
Probably more people out there now know what a Husqvarna bike is.

Exactly what I think. who cares if it's a white framed KTM with '13 Husaberg plastics? It's the best bike I've own and love that it's not like all the jap bikes.
 
My hat is off to Husqvarna/KTM. If you look at the prevalence of orange and now white bike out trail riding or at organized races you can see that their sales dominate that market. What is excellent marketing for Husky is that they are building on the established name to bring mainstream popularity. With that comes bike sales. Any Japanese manufacturer could have done this. But they have not. I am still surprised that one of the Japanese manufacturers hasn't taken their latest produced 250 2T, throw a 300 kit on it and enduroize it. Cam.
 
Really im not suprised at all that the jap bikes arnt enduroised after the ban on 2t tech in mx theyve all switched r&d to 4t for the past 4 or 5 years is it? Anyway now 2t is back in the mix partly from euro manufactures past machinery marketing and its unrelenting populariaty the japs are a huge step behind in their tech take yammys yz 250 no major changes in a decade isnt it? Either way theyve gotta compete with clever marKTMing (see what i did there) and catch up with everyone else, i wont be suprised if the japs dont just stick to what theyre invested in. 4stroke.
 
happy to be a small part of this. Ive owned 1 swede from chapter 1, 510TX, 5 Italians from chapter 2- TC450,TE450,TXC450,TE310,TXC310R, and now the best of the best from Austria chapter 3 the TE300
 
I hope the history of winning continues with the new husqvarnas. It's up to the new husqvarnas to keep the legacy going. It needs to win it's way into the fore front. I have the faith it will.

I'd like to see it race and win in super cross in the USA.

The 2t will come back they already are. There's nothing like the smell of 2t as the sun comes up.

We keep on turning page on the husqvarna motorcycle history. It's the next chapter and I believe the best is yet to come.

It already is. Husky has 2 number 1 plates this year in the US. Delong in enduros and Argubright in hare scrambles. Argubright has some bad luck and with the way that guy was riding he would have had hare and hound also.

Hate to say it but I don't see Anderson being a champion, he'll win some races though. It will be fun to see some Husky Rockstar bumblees flying around in SX this year though
 
" It will be fun to see some Husky Rockstar bumblees flying around in SX this year though."


Did you mean Bumblebees? Are they bringing back 125SX class in USA?
 
pretty cool video although seems they forgot a few world titles from the italian era?!;) in all honesty what does KTM have to lose by excluding the cagiva/BMW & to a lesser extent the 80s swedes from the new era propaganda? i would have thought it would make people(myself included) who owned & loved these era bikes feel more included in the 'new' husqvarna & create less of a division/sour taste after the buyout/takeover?:confused:(ie retain more existing customers=more $$$). just MHO. good to see #47 Todd Waters in there, go the aussies!
