I went trial riding yesturday (2003 YZ 250R) and meet a guy riding a Husaberg 550 dirt bike. We BS'ed a bit and traded bikes. First off let me say that I have never liked 4-strokes, but the Berg blew me away. I couldn't believe how planted the front wheel felt and the power was really good. Anyway he is going to be selling it soon after he gets a KTM 2-stroke. So I am thinking of buying the Berg, I don't know a thing about them other than the ride was awesome. He said the bike was a 2007 however after looking at pics online I think it maybe a 2008? The things I remember that may help tell the year is that this bike had a Akrapovic slip-on (stock he said) and wave rotors front and back (Brembo calipers), it also has black rims, is that a difference in the 07 to 08?
Also, what should I look for as far as any issues with the bike? It has around 40 hours on it and has sat idle quite alot. In fact he had just cleaned out the carb and replaced the rubber boot between the cylinder and carb. It ran a bit sluggish right off the bottom, but just a little gas and it was fine. Thanks for any info!
