More 05 Berg info

Hi everyone. I'm a new member and proud owner of a 03 fe 650. I've been browsing through this awesome site and thought it's about time i had a little input too.
I came across this site and found some more info on the 05 bergs. It's the authorized Husaberg distributor & dealer for the Republic of Croatia. Visit [url="http://www.tego.hr"]www.tego.hr[/url] (Only some english) . The croats are lucky buggers!! Can someone translate this?
Here's a couple of pics for all to enjoy,

So how do you like your 650? I am asking because a dealer has a left-over 2003 FE 650 in his showroom for $5495. I am considering but wanted to know from someone who already owns one if they were pleased with it and would buy it again,thanks.

Hi mboygood. I'm very happy with my 03 650 with about 35 hours of riding fun - including some scary (uncontrolable sphincter valve) moments . Once sorted out, it's an awesome, easy starting and reliable beast. At first i had a few teething problems - replacement speedo(water damage), jetting(allmost impossible to start), replacement clutch slave cylinder(leaking). All fixed under 12 month factory warranty.
Very important to adjust rockers regularly and keep in top tune-to make sure of easy starting. I put battery on charge if bike not used for a while. Can start on the button cold or hot once loosened up with a few rides. Make sure your berg dealer is switched on with the factory parts replacement updates the 03 models were subject to and you should have lots of trouble free riding.
