A very straight foreward design and IMHO easy to work on. Properly tuned and maintained it'll last a long time and run strong.
The new Bergs are, of course, better but I'm building a '99 during my 'down time' out of all the spare parts I have accumulated because the early ones are such a good play bike.
Have fun and welcome aboard. The UHE is the best resource on the planet for Husaberg advice.
