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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

125-200cc TC 165

I'm pretty sure the ktm cylinders are too thin at the water jackets to bore it out. Ktm already has a 200... (which isn't really a 200...)
 
I really don't want to ride a Orange bike. Its hard for my wife to pic me out when 70% of the bike are orange. And I know the new Husky are basically part KTM. I wonder why Husky did not offer the 200 or 150?
 
The new huskys are mainly ktm's. I feel kind of jipped. I discovered the huskies right before they became blue/white ktms. The Italian huskies (2t) are rock solid bikes. Parts aren't as common as other brands, which is a downside, but the bikes themselves are competitive.
 
Looks fun to me...

Maybe the XC 200 KTM topend will bolt up to a TC125 if the engine is just like the KTM model. Some friends of mine made their XC150s int 200s just like that.

I believe crankcase machining (complete disassembly) and a new crank is required to. Very expensive and at that point should have just bought the 200.
 
I believe, if what I've read and what I can guess at hints at a possible future, the best thing to do is wait a little bit and see when Gas Gas starts rolling out Gas Gas framed/Italian Husky engined bikes. If that happens, I think things will be really interesting again. I intend to keep riding my 08 CR125 and wait for this possibility, or at least until the Austrian Husky's become more distinct from KTM's. If a GG Husky 125 is built, I'll be all over that bike!
