  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 needs to build this bike !!

they are 90% there. Just do it****************************************

I missed all that Kelly , needs 7 gallon tank and saddle bags to be a dual sport here ! Haha .. Nuda would be my choice !
 
The Dakar look foresure ! I would like the bike in the naked dirt setup with a large gas tank , hard bags( rino coated with red Husky lettering ) , tuff hand guards , rc high pro tapers , really strong bash plate and a comfortable seat , also an adjustable or quick release wind screen that actually throws the wind over your head. I like the Dakar look but that might ad 3.5k$
 
I was going to import one of these into the US over the summer specifically to build it just like this one. I would probably die on that haha. A KTM 690 would be more than enough hp for me.

 
Hell yea...

I've been known to have crazy ideas from time to time, and every once in a while they actually come to life. This particular idea strikes me while reading an email from a friend who is planning a dirt bike trip to the dunes. Half jokingly I say, "I'd like to come to the dunes with you guys, but only if I can ride a BMW F800GS with a paddle tire."

"Jonah Street, mount a 16 paddle tire onto our BMW F800GS before riding some sand dunes east of Seattle!"

I have met Jonah, real nice humble guy. I know right where those pix were taken. Lots of testing goes on out there. Cool vid, thanks. In the fist vid he mentions that F800 has done the Dez 100 which is amazing as it is a rocky dez mess that claims a lot of bikes. He also mentions the Shelton valley which is super tight woods we rode last Sunday and would be ridiculously hard there. It is 125 territory. that area is shown in this post. Amazing they road that there, bet it was not fun.

That 800 was amazing. Question? Why was the taillight flashing when Jonah would get on the throttle. Traction control or something.
 
If Yamaha were to make that 900 I would take a serious look at the spec sheet, because that thing look's the balls! Someone needs to hurry up and put a quality twin in a 600-900cc range making 70+ HP, less than 400 lbs, highway capable, super reliable and you would have a huge success. :banana: KTM almost did it with the 690 but 66 HP and a single just isn't the perfect package for me. The Terra could have been something good but then they shoved a BMW (has been) motor in it making 58HP and some left over wimpy suspension(WTF):mad: The KTM is pushing 8 more HP and that still isn't enough. My 990 is making 92 rear wheel house power but the 460 lbs is a huge minus and that thing is FUGLY:thumbsdown:
 
Real suspension travel 400 lbs wet 70-80hp , 60 + ft-lbs torque , 6 gallon gas can , fully convertable from adventure style to dual sport , 6sp wide ratio , single or twin , how hard is that.
 
How about a US made 900 twin? If Highland ever really makes bikes we can buy they will be missing the boat if they don't go full Dakar on that bad boy.

That's essentially my F800GS with 100 more ccs and some different plastic. Which spanks the living shit out of the Yamaha SuperTankeré except on long straight roads where the 1200cc's horsepower can be used. There is no built in means to disable ABS on the Super Ténéré! There are some tricks involving the center stand, freewheeling the rear under power for 2 minutes in 2nd gear and not turning the ignition off, but that's totally bogus. I just have to stop and hold a button for 3-5 seconds.
