• Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Sweden - About 1988 and older

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

They Are not left kickers and not swedish but!

Yeah the new huskys are very good looking. I'm not sure I am wilde over the yellow fork guards but nice for sure.

I think my favorite color scheme was the fast by ferracci ones with the splash of green. Here is my 06 TC250 with 300 kit, really liked that look.

I like the look of the new bikes, I've always favoured the white ones.....

The fast by ferracci kit does look nice, but

I've just purchased a 2013 WR300, I've ordered white plastics to replace the red, ordered the 07 yellow/blue sticker kit to stick on the tank covers and am searching for a blue seat cover. Am I living in the past or present?
 
I think it is fantastic. Just think for a moment - we now are owned by the number one growing motorcycle company ( by margin ) in the world.

One of the best marketed, very fast model upgrades, tech and engineering improvements each year. Our own race team in the GPs to start Great racing winning program worldwide.

Hints at Husqvarna being developed with its own engineering identity in the future. Clones are just a start. Let alone great identity with the past from color schemes - look at the new gear
coming soon for a start.


Can't think how much it protects our investment in the our vintage bikes. Maybe just in name recognition alone. Now the young guys will know us.

This helps us tremendously. Its exciting for us.
 
ill be excited for them if they move past the clone stage and become their own machine..its definitely good for the name right now. i think the decision to go back to the white/blue/gold scheme was a great move. no other bike maker really utilized these colors at any point, they should stick out at the track nicely.

Thanks, was a very good bike. Had a 300 kit and was ported, was pretty fast. Had the narrowest transmission known to man though. :>)

I beg to differ, my KTM 380MXC had the narrowest box, 1st was so tall and 5th was so low the gearing choices became frustrating, but a great engine (not the gearbox)
 
It was'nt an endorsement of any kind. it just reminded me of what my gran used to say "what goes around, comes around" I never realised what she meant at the time.
 
It seems to me the colours are the same as when Husky finished being a Swedish brand..rebirth..??
I don't think the brand changing hands all the time will help on parts availability though.. Fortunately though the parts carry over is pretty good. I love the fact I can still use some 2002 TE570(or 610 or 410) parts on my 84 510!
