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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE350 for 2012??

revive the Husqvarna 360 name, base the 360 on the x-lite motor design concept (scale up as needed) put it in the x-lite chassis (all ready in production with its full components package)
TC360ie MX1, SX, MX or perfect vet racer, no cc class racer
TXC360ie xc version for GNCC, XC and enduro E2 class
ok and a TE360ie DS bike
Norm great seeing you checking in, I am really heading down the 4T downsize path, now that the small bore 4ts are amazingly capable and managable. As for your beloved 2Ts I hope the factory gets right into the heart of the midsize 2T, I think you tiddler 125/144(150) guys are good to go as far as being very competitive as the Husky small bore is right at the top of its game in Jr enduro and 125 MX. A new mid motor 200-300 in a new chassis will just solidify the entire line and with all the brand resurgence the EU has a brilliant 2T line up (KTM,Husaberg,Fantic,G-G, etc) to compete with.

I am glad you checked in on that one Motosportz.

PS modern Al chassis are designed to flex after realizing way back in the McGrath SX days that they were way too stiff and harsh from the initial design logic that stiffer /no flex was the way to go.

hope the can of Al chassis (which are now good) worms is not going to stay open.
 
NO,NO, on the aluminum frame.

Wr's are just fine, perfect.

Six speed would be good, otherwise let's leave them alone. Best value on the market for 2-stroker. Motosportz, what tire combo do you run on your 510?
 
Keep the AL frames off Huskies please ... The 360 has got very good history across the biking industry ... Go with it ....

Pulse of the Husky Planet..... Thanks Rob.
 
I'd just be happy to see a big bore kit for the 310 to 350. I feel like my 2010 310 is no different in power as to my 04 CRF280x :(
 
The 350 has appealed to me and I really wanted one when I got out of my 450. They only had 310's so I bought one. Bloody glad I did. They are a great and honest trail machine. Having said that if a 350 came out I would consider it as I am 250 in the buff so a little bit more is probably a good thing for that odd 5 to 10% of the time.
 
If Husky goes with an aluminum perimeter frame.....I will buy an orange bike....I swear it...seriously....just to protest!
 
I agree ! ALUMINUM FRAMES SUCK ! Hard to work on. Too rigid. HEAVY (really). What is the appeal of an aluminum frame ???? Why does anyone think they are better than a steel frame ? ESPECIALLY a CM frame.
