So....I sold my Berg....
I'm a bit sad, as always when I sell a bike....but it went for good money and I can't complain. Gave me everything; disappointment, big financial burden, a LOT of valuable mechanical knowledge in the repair process (also thanks to all of you here, but I must point out Bushie as the one that gave me many, many good advice and information - thanks again Bushie!!), it gave me a huge satisfaction after I managed to repair it myself and in the end it gave me a lot of quality riding time.
Good bikes those Bergs, shame what KTM did.
Would I buy a Berg again.....yes, I'd love to have a 390 70 deg model. I believe the 70 deg models will always be valued on the market, and if they survive long enough.....who knows....maybe become a valued milestone in the history of dirt bikes...
Pre 2009? Good bikes, in their time they have been a real men's machines but I somehow feel time has stepped over them... Value? Not sure. Maybe some models...late 550 and 650....
Anyways....I'm not leaving this forum, I like it. I'll try to contribute to new members with the knowledge I acquired here...
