I scolded someone once for saying this, but must digress and say the same.
Steer clear of the 01' & 02' big bore Bergs (03 only being slightly better).
Unless many updates have been done, you'll be heading into a world of heartache and a much lighter wallet.
Even if the upgrades have been done, these three years are very prone to the dreaded case crack at the swingarm.
Look for an 04' model or newer. The extra money spent, will most certainly be money saved.
I can no longer bite my tongue and watch a Husaberg newbie delve into the worst years of Husaberg. If you buy this 02 650, it will not only be your first Berg, but will most likely be your last. I say this as a Husaberg loyalist since 1997!
Is the bike your looking at good or bad? I would have to say BAD.
By the way,
if 2-3 weeks or more is unacceptable to wait for parts for a seven year old bike, you may be unpleasantly surprised when you find yourself waiting for a Hon/Yam/Kaw/Suz part of that era.....
