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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

NEW HUSQVARNA 900CC PROJECT

Ah ... but they take good care not to show you the bike. The only project that was on display is the elephant man of all bikes (!)
 
1935_husqvarna_racer_496.jpg I like the looks of the Aprilia Shiver and some of Aprilia's new Adventure line. The split fender on the Trail model doesn't look good to me. A 900 Husky street bike like the renders above would be sweet. A 900 Husky ADV. bike would be sweet to. Maybe they will build both like BMW has with their 800 motor. If Husky does put it in a ADV. bike I hope they don't go with low hanging pipes or that fugly bird beak front end like on the BMW F800GS. How ever Husky pulls it off I imagine we all will like it. Husqvarna didn't start with off road bikes, like their tee shirt depicts. T-Shirt-husky-vintage-merged.jpg
 
I would like to see it in a Dakar style of bike with a big tank

The sketches are interesting and show some promise. The two 10 yr olds in the color chop are funny. I hope the Italian side is going to be prevalent in the actual bike. I've ridden the BMW 800R naked bike and it is a disappointment to its class IMO. Weak on power and cold to look at. It's got to compete with Triumph's 675 Street Triple, 1050 Speed Triple, Ducs, Apes and even the Jap naked's. Hoping for a surprise, Husqvarna!
 
I'm much less excited about the above drawings than I was about that artist concept on page 2. The first one looked aggressive, fast and mean. This one has slight similarities to that horrible SMQ thing a few years ago.
 
The question might be: 'How well will the general, non-dirt bike riding Husky people' like that plastic on the tank and around the seat? Myself, I like it :0)
 
I dont think they read my post, I WANT IT IN A DAKAR STYLE BIKE!!! There that feels beter
