Husaberg FE 570 or Husqvarna TE 511

Glenn71 · Sep 17, 2011

I will buy a bike next week, and I have one Husaberg FE 570 2010 that I can get, and the other is Husqvarna TE 511 2011. It's the same price on this bikes, but I don't know witch one to go fore.
I think that the Husaberg looks better, but what is the main point to buy Husaberg over Husqvarna.

It's 10 years since I had a bike, and that was a Suzuki GSX-R 600.
But I now would like a bike that I can have some fun with, in the woods on the field or on the road.

Regards

Sorry, can't comment on the Husky but I LOVE my 570. I've been riding for close to 30 years and I don't think you'd be unhappy in any way with a Berg...the ONLY issue is that they are a little tough to work on due to tight tolerances. Not sure how the Husky ranks in that department. The Berg has a trick gas tank that isn't easy to remove. Oil and air filter changes are a snap however.

I say go Berg!!

I've tossed this idea around in my head myself... (I'm looking for a Supermoto) I have found there to be a bigger (how do I say this) fan-base behind the Huskys and more aftermarket parts etc. However everywhere I've read people say the Bergs are hands down one of the best things they have ridden. (Though, Husky has some 'new' bikes for 2011 which not many own yet) If I had a question tho, between this forum and another I would bet I could get it figured out. (so I'm not too worried) Both bikes I believe are going to require frequent maint intervals too so personally... I'd get the berg. Just my $0.02

It's not even close... The Husaberg is pretty much ready to go as soon as you get it. The Husky, Not so much. It's simple, go to the Husqvarna forums and just do some reading, you will find that once you get a new Husky, your work has begun. The F.I. is crap, they don't handle, will burn your legs, have strange gearing, etc... I realize that I am just a guy on a Husaberg forum, but I do speak from experience. A friend of mind bought a new husky this year after seing how good my 'Berg was. The man regrets the purchase every time we go for a ride.

There is a comparison of these two bikes in the September 2011 issues of Cycle World magazine (US based mag). It is also their annual 10 best bikes of the year issue where they name the 570 as Enduro bike of the year. Good read if you can get it, think you might be able to find online too.

I just bought a 570 and going to take her out tomorrow for the first time, have had a KTM 530, 525 and 505 in the past, will be interesting to see how the 570 stacks up against them, 525 was my favorite of that bunch. Also, on the 570s seems you can get a much better deal than the retail price....

Good luck, for the most part you can't go wrong with either one.

Thanks!

Then it probably will be Husaberg FE 570.

There is motard wheels on this bike, I will try to buy a used pair of cross wheels.
Does wheels for KTM SXF fit the Husaberg, it is Talon with Dunlope tires.
It's more KTM parts/wheels on the market then there are Husaberg.
