I sold my beloved Husaberg on Saturday. It really is/was the best bike I have EVER owned but my style of riding had taken a turn and it just wasn't doing what I needed it to do.
I'm taking a long trip this summer so I needed a new bike to take me there.
I bought this. It's an 03 with 5000km on the clock.

I have to say a HUGE thank you to everyone here who helped me out, hopefully I have helped a few myself. I'll still poke my head in here daily to see what's going on and to keep tabs on the 09, I still want one of those babies.
Hoyt has offered me his 550 any time I want to borrow it so I'll still be able to get my fix.
 
Thanks Bruce, I know I will too.
I'm currently looking through my favourites deciding on things I need to get ordered from you.
I'll be in touch this week.
 
That is a sweet bike and barely run in.

If you ever need advice a buddy of mine (Island Hopper) has run one for years and knows them inside out. He's a super nice guy too. PM me if you want to get in touch.

Good as they are I don't think I could live with "just" a Berg and I'd say you have a pretty good compromise there. As one door closes, another opens.

Happy trails.
 
Adventure

:D
Congrats kelsow! Cool bike!
5000km? Not even broken in!

What now? HardParts? Tyres?

Cheers, Goran

PS
I`m waiting to see new 700 Adventure ...
 
RE: Adventure

Hey Kelsow,
Look like Goran influenced your choice of bike! :lol: Too bad you had to sell your Husy. I've been looking for a nice 640 also. We'll miss you on this site but I noticed that you are already making waves on the adventure rider site! :D
 
I'll still be around here as my blood is still blue not orange.
I hear rumours of an adventure type bike from Husaberg so my absence may only be temporary.
I've been a member since 04 I think on ADV rider. I don't post much there as those lads can be tough. They can be like a really cranky Taffy. :lol:

I suppose I do owe Goran a beer for sending me in the right direction.
I just didn't "feel" a KLR was quite right for me.
Berg-KLR, polar opposites.
 
Heya kelsow,
That is one sweet ride you got yourself! Looks like you're gonna be doing some fun long-range rides in the future. We look forward to your ride reports and photos. Glad you're sticking around!

(at least it's not orange! :wink:
 
Damn strait it's not orange.
My trip to Newfoundland/Labrador via Cape Breton and New Brunswick will be about 4000k
I'll be sure to let yous know about the ride report. This trip is going to be epic.
 
Yeah,yeah,yeah,whatever.Now get back to KTM Talk and stay there Kelsow.Don't make me come up there :lol: Cool looking bike.Hopefully you'll get the 09 Berg and keep the adventure as well 8)
