Went out with a buddy that has an '04 FE650e and he let me ride it for a while. I was very impressed with the bike and am thinking about getting one. I've never owned a berg and have always been wary of buying one due to the horror stories I've heard about reliabilty. The '04 models seem to have quite a few reliability improvements and I understand the '05 models will have a few more. Maybe now's the time to get one. Who has the best deals on these bikes?

Thanks,

Hi,

every year the bikes get a few reliability improvements.
Shouldn´t that be normal?
But you´re right, the 04 models run very well.
We have to handle with old bad reputations, but this
tittle-tattle doesn´t interest me. Gossip-factory. It´s only the jealousy of all the KTM, Honda and Yamaha riders. :wink: :D joke, but a bit truth is there to be found. And you can trust me: Where I come from, a lot of KTM and other engines were wrecked on the tracks.
We´re are handful of Husaberg riders here, and everywehere we appear on a MX track the people are looking, whistling and sometimes later asking:
"And your Berg? Is it running well or did you have problems with the engine?" I can only laugh about them and overtake them on the track with a loud thunder. :wink: Just picture it. If you know what I mean.
Ok, in the 90´s
the engines weren´t the best and without enough maintenance
a lot of engines were blown, but most of these damaged were the result
of wrong or no servicing. Husaberg had the lightest and strongest 4 stroke engine years before the Yamaha 400 came out in 96.
With the late 99 and 2000 models Husaberg brought out some well designed bikes where most "old" problems were solved. 2001 with the new designed
engine they had some new probs but they were eradicated in 2002.
The best bike you can buy is obviosly a 2005, but since 2002 the bike in originally condition is really
reliable.
But you must know: It´s like a piece of sports equipment. You have to care for it. Then you will love it.
Hope I found the right words.

greetings

Call Dan at MOTOXOTICA in Vacaville, CA. 1-707-446-4282 Tell him Unklemoose sent you (he will charge you more that way) :p I was there last week and he a couple in stock, not sure what years but there was a 550. If you want good used bike with all the extras I have an 02-fe501. PM me for details if you want to.

Thanks for the tip. Vacaville isn't too far at all for me. In fact, I lived there for a time. I think I'm going to shoot for an '05 FE650e. By the time they start hitting the dealers, I should have the funds together. Wish me luck :)

Thanks,
