• 2 Stroke Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Italy - About 1989 to 2014

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

All 2st Is this for real?

Honestly, I think I trust KTM more than BMW to preserve the hard-core off-road nature of Husqvarna. Time will tell, but KTM has proven for a long time to be one of the only companies dedicated to developing 2-strokes, and building good, competitive off-road (not motocross) bikes.

Hopefully, if this were to happen, Husq would not get absorbed and become a rebadged KTM (like Husaberg). As long as that doesn't happen, I am ok with it.

I worry that, under BMW, Husky 2-strokes will die, and we'll get a bunch more overweight dual sport crap.
 
I was getting real close on pulling the trigger on either a wr125 or a tc250. I am going to sit tight now and see how this pans out. BUT, the rumor has been out that KTM already has a DI two stroke sitting on the shelves and that Husky is coming out with an all new DI 250/300. The plot thickens.
