• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 Is the motor in a 2013 wr 125 made by KYMCO?

Yup Italy. Same as Ferrari, but the Husky small bores would beat up on Ferrari regarding reliability. Quirky would be a tie.

;)
 
Perhaps the KYMCO thing came from the 449/511 engines that, as I've heard, are made in Tiawan. Somebody heard that Husqvarna was outsourcing the engines of 4 of the bikes and, bam, all Husky motors must be Tiawanese made. I'm sure that engine will be no more with the merger.

Thanks Venturini... That's the first time I had heard of those motors being made in Taiwan :eek:
 
I am no longer afraid of things made in Taiwan. I have been in to bicycles for many years now and some of the best components come from there.
Even the carbon fibre frames on top road bikes and mt bikes. China ans Taiwan. The adds with highly skilled American workers hand crafting a carbon fibre frame in the USA are a laugh!

It didnt bother me to know my TE engine was from Kymco.

I was just curious what made you think the motor was made by KYMCO ? :D But as the others have said, they are made in Italy and I think they are good motors.[/quot

The KTM thing is scary I love my wog built motors
Husky 2ts are cagiva
I don't like kTM motors
Is my next husky 2t guna be a kTM
The 250/300 motor is dated but its very refined no electric leg and an ass of a kick start
I've had a ride on the berg and the KTM 300 thay really have nothin on my husky 300
My husky 125 is awesome as well
Think I might have to get a wr125 and a wr300 and put them away for when the ones I've got now are worn out(20yrs time) and then I'll have 2 brand new bikes to wear out when I'm 60 LOL
