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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Sherco 250 MX/MXGP Machine

I am so used to having no dealers and working over the phone and internet that the Sherco doesn't bother me at all. I do have a dealer that is 250 miles from me and that is close compared to husky a couple of years ago. My issue is with no kick starter and riding in a different zip code from the nearest road. I am still going to demo one and if I can't resist get the 250 2T.

Thought you wanted the Sherco 300 4st ? On a side note It looks like loyal here in Boise is starting to carry Betas. He has 2 strokes in stock
 
The Sherco 250 2 stroke is a great bike. The e-start worked perfectly. Just tap the button and the bike starts. Period. The fit and finish is on par with anything. The map switch makes a big difference. I rode it on the soft setting in the woods and flicked it to "hot" out in the fields. When on HOT it will give a YZ250 fits. Its fast.

The chassis and handling are great. The suspension seemed a bit on the stiff side for me but then again, I just finished riding a 2.5hr XC race on a KTM 450XCW with marshmallow suspension, so perhaps the softness of the 450 has me a bit mixed up.

All and all the bike is excellent. It is as good as any 250 2T on the market today in KTM, Beta, Berg etc...
 
Heck he rode a BMW he'll ride anything :)

These smaller manufactures like Beta, Sherco, Fantic and TM seem to be landing some nice talent and pushing their brand hard.
 
Have seen some new Shercos lately in the Swedish Enduro Championship.. must say, the new bike look Really nice! but then again.. so does the TM, Beta and Fantic :rolleyes:
