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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

how heavy , tall are u? my wr one two five is everything I need; I top the scales at 160 dry. just moved off a two-fiddy YZ,'06
 
Wr125/150 for total FUN factor. Wr250/300 for do it all bike. Can;t go wrong with any of them. Yes the WR125/150 will top anything just takes a little more technique.
 
Go the 300. Heeps of top end but has some real torque too. Only short fall is a lack of an electric leg, then again your YZ did not have one either and the 300 will start easier than the YZ.
 
I am new to even considering a husky and doing any kind or research. Do the 125s have more power than jap 125s? I agree they are fun but competitive against 450 in a 3 hour harescramble??

5,10 180 vet b racer. how does 125 do gnarly hill climbs?

Depends on how long the hill is; Most of the time, if I'm not caught off gaurd, 3rd gear does it all. For those steep hills after a corner 2nd works and have to ring its neck. The nice thing about my one two five is that it never gives me more than I can handle. Therefore it rarely tires me.

P.S. If I had the extra cash, I would not hesitate to slam the 144 kit on. Just a little more tourque on the bottom for those times caught "off-guard"
 
Cant believe im gonna consider a 125 but i had a yz 125 and did love the fun factor. Thanks for everyones input.
 
i said the same thing... and now i'm in the middle of building a 144 :D been riding a 250F the past 4 years, i'm excited about this little smoker.
 
I may not be as fast on my WR144 as I was on my KX250 but I know that I can ride faster for a longer period of time. That is a good thing in a 3 hour race.
 
what part of TN do you live in, i live in swva, go to upstate cycle in greeneville sc I can get there in about 2hrs and service from them is great.
 
I am also thinking of a wr 125 it is a 07 with 40 miles on it. I hope I like it. I ride hard newengland trails, and I used to ride a 08 yz 125 and liked it, but wanted to try something dif. Is the motor going to be as good as the yz, how about the low end of the motor?
 
Get a 250. I got one and love it. It revs high and is fast as SH@#. Super simple to work on. Who needs more cc's anyways.

If you even consider a 125, I would go with a YZ125. I've rode both the YZ and WR 125's. YZ wins.

But unless the areas you ride are more flowing, don't get a 125. I would not hesitate to get a 250. They haven't changed much since '07 so getting a used one will not be much different than a brand new one.
