  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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's it worth?

Unfortunately, I may have to sell my trusty steed. It is a 2011 te511 with 1400 miles on it. I would like you guys to weigh in and tell me what you think I should ask for it. I don't really trust Kelly blue book on a bike with lower production numbers. The bike is loaded up pretty good, here are some pictures:image.jpg image.jpg
 
I just paid $6K for a brand new one with a warranty - I think you will be hard pressed to find a buyer at 4500. Hate to say it, but $3500 is probably more realistic. I have simply parted the last 4-5 bikes out and did better than selling them whole. All the major components went really quickly. That being said, they were all in the 2-2.5k range.

I have never seen anyone do well trying to sell a bike with farkle. Return it to stock, sell all the farkle at 50 cents on the dollar and you may actually expand your market more.

Good luck with the sale.
 
If you decide to return it to stock and sell the farkles, I am VERY interested. PM me if interested :)
 
I appreciate the input. I knew there were some good deals out there on new ones a few months back. I guess I thought they were all gone by now. I may just end up keeping it. It's just way too nice a bike to give away.

Awww, and I was so excited. LMK if you change your mind.
 
I just dropped my new bike off the dealer for some warranty work. They had 4 brand new 449's for $5600 out the door and 4 brand new 511's for $5900 out the door.

I like my 449 so much I have half a mind to buy one in the crate and store it in my garage for 3-4 years as I pretty much trash a bike in 4 years.

I wonder if my wife would notice a big 8' long box in the back of the garage???
 
I advertised mine used, 400 miles of mild break in, perfect condition with $1400ish worth of all the important upgrades for $6200 and had no interest, so I rode it and really learned to love the bike. It is no longer for sale.
