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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

What big singles are there?

700cc of 2 stroke fury! If you are looking for excitement it doesn't get much crazier than this. It's in the UK too!

Fe450, fe501 are the top bikes at the moment, easily modified to out produce the 690, with far less weight. 450 is a 5 speed and is highly versatile.
 
For road work the 690 would be best. They have or had anyway a Supermoto version. It's heavier but maintenance won't drive you crazy if you rack up street miles
 
I use my 00 610e to commute it takes longer getting out of the shed than getting to work but it's worth it. I like the look of the new bmw g650gs. I'd prefer something a little more maintenance friendly as iv found out the hard way just how expensive parts an be.
 
Honda XR650L, Suzuki DR650 if you want reliable, mostly streetable, but good on a gravel road and non-single track. I once went from an XR650 to a BMW GS650 and was underwhelmed...I found the antique Honda to be better for everything but longer road trips. Eventually I bought another Honda.
 
It is a bit to do with weight .. sidecar cross front ends have to contend with more side load than a normal 2 wheeler so they use leading link to counter the stresses and make turning easier .. like power steering for a sidecar .
 
when i got my 610, i had the choice of buying a 89 xr650l i chose the husky and my brother in law bought the honda, he never could get the hang of starting it so he eventually sold it for silly money, wish i had just took the two. lol whats the latest year xr 650 can you get? or did they just continue them on under a different name like the xl/ transalp.
