My original plan was to look for a cheap 05+ FS650 550 to fix up and enjoy.
Well that didn't work out. Just even finding a Berg seems to be trouble-sum enough.
So I changed my criteria. I started considering 70 degree bergs aswell being they are allot easier to find and include EFI. But still no FS's...
So, I am looking for some advice on this search. I feel I have strayed way off course with my original needs.
Right now I have two Bergs I could consider. One a nicely upgraded FX450. He said it was set up for the trail. It's got a Rekluse Z-Pro auto clutch, Dugas 200 trail computer, Bullit proof designs radiator guards, Husaberg factory cooling fan, and 70 hours on the bike. It's not even 30 mins away from me as-well. My only problems with this bike is one: I would have to do all new electronics, two I would prefer the 570 for the torque and three I would prefer a wider gear ratio.
The other is a FE570 almost completely stock with a little over 4k+ miles.
Do you guys think I should consider either of these bikes or should I wait until an actual FS pops up? The most I can spend on this project is $6k no more. I am very careful with how I budget my projects. I thought I knew the values of these bikes but everyone I find seems to be over it. What are these bikes valued at now?
Last thing I need to ask. Anyone think Parts will be becoming a problem to get in the future now that Husaberg is dead?
Hope you guys can help me out. Otherwise, I might have to consider moving onto another project. Was thinking ether a H2 cafe, a custom W650/800 or maybe just go with a SXV. Those things a dirt cheap now...
