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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I have a 263cc Sym scooter that hauls the mail with zero runability issues. It is made in Taiwan, like KYMCO.

I'd take a Taiwanese motor over an Italian motor any day.

Though the 125 motor is pretty damn good...at least it was in 2002-2004

The new ones are a little "Luigi"

WR125 motors have never (and likely will never) be made by KTM.

The new 125 isn't a WR, it's a completely different bike/platform, with a different name.

KTM made husaburg now HUSQVARNA will turn into husaburg which is a re baged KTM
The husaburg te125 is now a husky te 125 and comparing the husky motor to the KTM reliability IMHO could be a factor
 
kymco has proven they can build good stuff and Taiwan is not korea. Then again the Koreans are now building some very good stuff too. Hyundai looks like a Honda these days and gets great reviews. I think the days of "chinese crap" are largely behind us except for $400 pocket bikes and people now have CAD and metallurgy is a science so most everything built with some thought and QC is good these days.

I completely agree with you Motorsportz, I in no way intended to slag KYMCO at all. I was just curious.
