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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

This sounds interesting

Well they might have some other models to reveal at EICMA this week, perhaps some road legal dual sports or maybe even a 690 based adventure bike.

Yeah -- I think the first pic they posted about EICMA isn't this bike. The colors aren't the same. SP already said they would have SM bikes.

IMHO -- EICMA will reveal at least a couple of things. 1 -- The model range for 2015 -- the fully developed model range. I think that will inlcude the SM bikes and full street legal bikes. 2 -- a prototype bike that will signal a bit more brand differentiation. I bit like the 70 degree 'Berg. Different, but the same. Just my $0.02.
 
FB is great for keeping up with industry news - like any manufacturers news , big races , pro riders chat , website eg Enduro 21 articles etc - you get feeds of main news . That's what I like it for

Almost time for the unveiling. I tired to find a link to a live feed of the press conference without any luck.

My bet is on an SM judging by the rear wheel stand, but a rear wheel stand could be fitted up to a dirty bike I reckon
 
Pictures up on the Husqvarna Motorcycle Facebook page of the Supermoto. I am not a Supermoto guy in any way so my opinion is less educated than usual -- but boy is that thing fugly. Where is the pic of the cool new dirt bike?
 
Wow, look at the size of that fuel tank, I assume it wraps around,I'd like to see the other side too.....I'll take one with a 21-18 knobbies and a Rally fairing please :D (and a different color scheme) it has potential
 
SP/KTM should have hired Café Husky members as a whole as a design team, and still probably would have saved some Euro's over the KISKA team. In my opinion, KISKA's take on it is horrible. Looks worse then the Husky Moab bike.

And for Heavens sake, SP/KTM be done with the trellis frame, back azz wards fuel tank design. Leave that frame design to Apriia and Ducati, they do it right.

OK, now please cover that thing back up with the sheet and go ask for a refund from the design team.
 
Kiska / KTM were right to highlight that 'incredible' cable guide a few days ago.

It is about the most remarkable thing about this badge engineering bike. Not unexpected, but I had hoped that it was not just going to be a gussied up KTM690.
