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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Shootout: TE610, KTM LC690 and BMW G 650

".......The Husky is my favorite off-road: it is a leap back in time to class 600 of the World Enduro, with full engine and chassis planted, with a calibration suspensions only acceptable for off-road. On asphalt is the worst of the three, for driving comfort and a little light from the lantern for the night......."

They picked the beemer for the more "on road" oriented riders

:thumbsup:
 
Husky Wins the shootout!
END QUOTE: "Finally, the Husky maintains the characteristics of that used in previous Rally of Sardinia in 2005: it is one that comes closest to the behavior of an enduro race. Among the dual of this volume, is the best in technical off-road handling, suspension and the ability to run the engine at low revs without flinching or turning off, she has a beautiful pum pum. Overall, there is the best for mixed-use asphalt-heavy off road, closest to the concept of total motion.

Yes the Husky rules supreme! Sorry KTM and BMW. :D
 
Wish there was a mag in the US that would do a test like that. Maybe Cycle Magazine?

Im surprised they didnt include the king of all dual sports (at least units sold), the DRz400. Guess it was only bigger bikes.

Nice find Blip. :thumbsup:
 
AIr

Anybody else notice that there are several pictures of the Husky fully airborne. And NONE of the other models? There is one picture with the ktm's rear off the ground a few inches, but there are at least three of the Husky several feet in the air.

Things that make you go "Hmmmmm"

nope, wrong, fail.
That article is fair and balanced.:lol:
 
I think this line is about the Husky:it reads like my owners manual.


"the first is romantic and respect those who see in motion his horse and wants to use it always, even in transfers highways."
