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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Looks like husky gets the 690 with new cloths. Pics not supposed to be released yet but floating around FB.

But can you ride it anyplace other than ice! (that is the only place Husky shows it ....and shows it......and shows it ;) )
 
I have been wondering if they were going to let have any of us see these things. (in other then SNOW)
 
Damn i knew i should have posted it earlier...beat me to it lol.
Supposedly ktm is dropping the 690 enduro from their line up
 
Not sure where they are built but I'm coming to see Huskies as colored white with the other splashes added ... Might be from the earliest Huskies(I forget now what they were) and it was an open color to be used by this industry that ID the brand plus will always move it away from the Japanese brands' color schemes currently...

SuperMoto ... Some riders really like riding those types :) ... This all just popped in my head looking at this thread, but SP has sold lots of bikes all over the world ... he knows 'who wants what bike and where that guy at it, globally'... He used Ktms for gathering that info ... With that knowledge, he's got a headstart on how and where to start sales off with these new Huskies...
 
SP said there would be no huskly street bikes and the line would be totally different that the KTM line within a year or so. Seems KTM is selling a lot of white KTMs and as such it seems the lines are going to remain almost identical. they have a great product and 2 ways to market it and I think that was the plan all along.

not really new, its the 690 that's been around for quite a while. Market is well established.

Back in 2000 when the TE610E came to the US, it was so much better than the KTM 640 LC4 DS. KTM continued to develop the LC4 into the 690 and it's a really nice engine now. This will be a nice bike!
 
Not sure on those outboards ... SP has said sales numbers were way past his dreams at such an early stage of ownership and all plans were accelerated; there are gonna be more sales numbers and judging from all the different Husqvarna bikes this successful business-man-to-date wants to sell now, ahead of schedule, Husqvarna riders are gonna like 'em; Husqvarna owners will be there also ...
