Hi guys:
I am about to buy my third Husaberg (in the past 3 years). The first one (FE450 ´09) loved it and sold it with nearly 200 hours at a reasonable price. I did this because I could an almost new one (FE450 `09 with 3 hours) at a great price. So I had to put no significant money to change from a 200 hour bike to a 3 hour bike (both same year and model).
Now, the KTM and Husaberg dealer here in Ecuador and me, are partnering in a Extreme Enduro Race name UKUPACHA (hell in the native language) which I own the rights and KTM/HUSABERG are going to the be the main sponsors of this race which in going to it´s thirg succesful year.
The dealer is going to pay de sponsorship in a really big discount in 2 bikes. So the thing is that I can renovate my Husaberg again, and I can choose between a FE450 ´10 or a FE570 ´10.
The question is, which bike should I pick in terms of handling and versatility.
We ride here 2.800 meters above sea level which is very high so almost every one buys 450cc at least because of the altitude, bike´s looses at least 15% power.
I race ocassionally in cross countrys and hare scrambles and some enduro races, and the 450 was good enough in power and handling, and I want to know if I am going to sacrifice all of these If I get a 570 or I will even get better and faster???
I heard somewhere that the 570 was easier to ride??? Is that true?? I also heard that the 450 reved faster so it has a more explosive feel (better for racing)??'
Let me have your advise.
Thanks
