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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Husqvarna inflated model designations

Why did Husqvarna embellish the cc's on the model 610 (really 576), the 630 (really 600), and now the 701 (really a 690)??? I realize that all manufacturers have embellished to some extent based on race class, and for marketing purposes but why did Husqvarna do that and go way over the top giving the impression the 610 was 610cc's and the 630-630cc's? Why didn't they continue the 576 model designation or if nothing else, designate the newer 610 the 580 and the 630 the 600? Now they have to add the 01 instead of just calling it the 700 or the H690, etc. It's always irritated me, especially when I have to explain to someone that doesn't know the brand/models and it really has the opposite intended effect I think they were going for. Instead of creating excitement/hype, it's more of disappointment (to be honest), knowing that it's really not living up to the potential. Don't get me wrong, I LOOOOOOOVE my TE610 and plan on keeping it, but I've never understood it.
 
Its never really bothered me, other brands also indulge in this practice like the KTM 530 is really a 510. What really matters is that you like your bike !!!
 
I agree, my 125 was actually a 124 cc but my 360 is 348?!? So why not call it a three fifthy?
No worries tho i just tell people its a 350 and leave it at that.
I dont like my bike

I LOVE IT!

The honest answer on your 360 is they were trying to avoid confusion with the 350 four stroke model.

See, that's exactly the crap I'm referring to. I had no idea. Deceptive. Didn't know that about the KTM's either since I avoid those and have no interest in them.
My life will move on and the world will continue.
 
Well its not like you are going to notice the missing 1-20 cc's (Depending on the model). :P
However it is all Marketing. A 610 is sounds better than a 576.

True on feeling on the butt dyno. However, I think 576 or 580, or even 600 sounds better than 610. To me it's like Nigel trying to explain that his Marshall goes 11. :excuseme::banghead:
