• 4 Stroke Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Italy - About 1989 to 2014
     TE = 4st Enduro & TC = 4st Cross

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

some 2013 news

In 2011, captured four of the six Husqvarna enduro world championships. In the two main classes Enduro E1 and E2, the individual championship (with Juha Salminen and Antoine Meo) plus the constructors' championship won. That makes an enduro Husqvarna brand par excellence. To put that in the future reflected in the sales figures to come get the whole line of Husqvarna Enduro for 2013 a very thorough update.


On 21 and 22 June 2013, the new models presented in the Italian Malpensa. Exclusive for News Noppen light Husqvarna fixed a corner of the veil. If wereldpirmeur we show you here the first pictures of the new TE449 and the new WR250.

The WR250R is a newly constructed two-stroke. This will in 250 and 300 cc implement to be placed on the market. The block is totally new and rumors speak of a direct injection of gasoline into the cylinder, but it may be that that item only in 2014 the production will come and that the WR in 2013 still will be supplied with carburetor.
The TE449R is goodbye to the BMW block. Husqvarna has now developed a new block itself, a cross between their old TE450 (which include the Super Moto has done so well with many world titles) and the hugely successful TE250/TE310 X-light. That is why the TE449 also the nickname 'X-Light it. Besides this great news will also be present TE250 and TE310 significantly upgraded. These two models both get the all-new cylinder head with the red valve cover, from the MX2-GP. The new type designation is therefore TE250R and TE310R.
 
Whaho sounds like life at the front is on the move. ew 2 stroke block and next step FI
Also glad to have our own 450 donk back. No insults to the BMW donk but it was not ours-feel good about that.

I personally LOVE my TE511. I think it is a fantastic platform and will be sad to see it go. I don't think I will sell that bike for a long time. Its a keeper.
 
Well look's like the word just got out here is a picture of the 2013's Anyone notice anything missing??????

Could this be a 450 Xlite motor?

Agreed. And it makes life hard on dealers and the supply chain if they keep alternating between engines and platforms. Its not like the current motor is slow or fragile so I dont know what the hurry is to change it.

Between the 511 mill (with JD 6X added) and the CTS chassis all I have to do is let a KTM rider do a couple miles on my TXC and they begin to realize what they are missing.

449/511 just officially released as 2013 models and no X-light 450 in sight. The motor above looks like the newer TC/TXC/TE 250/310 (based on the short cylinder) motor which all the 250/310's will be like

everyone who rides mine is impressed. Two hard core KTM heads rode it back to back with their 450/530 DS bikes and Loved the 511 one proclaiming it would be his next bike. I traded off with a buddy with a real nice KTM 350 last ride and as much as i thought I liked that 350 I wanted my 511 back ASAP. This was on tight mountain trails to boot. Love my 511.

Sorry you feel that way but understand the frustration. I really wanted the new 250/300 2T this summer but it isn't going to be available until spring 2013. If you can't wait that long then there are a lot of really good bikes. No need to rip the husky brand, if you want a cutting edge chassis, wonderful 2 stroke power and torque in a light weight package...get a 2012 WR/CR125 and send me your extra kit for the 165 treatment.

Wallybean, I've been following your work on the 165 and am really interested. What do you charge for the bored cylinder, piston, and the nice fmf pipe? you know the whole shabang? I have a te310 but am really attracted by the low maintenance and lightness of the 165. I ride only tight mountain single track and I hear this bike is the king.

The 350R joins its larger siblings, the TE440 and TE511​

Eh??​

So the 350 and 440 stuff are apparently typos as the MXA article based on the same press release keeps it straight with 310 and 449....

I thought they were putting an XLite motor in the CTS chassis...... (a personal dream of mine)...I guess Im just going to have to build my own
