So far I love the bike ,......... from KTMtalk ......

As most of yall know , I have been bugging everyone for help with a Berg. I rode a 390 on a 2 mile Demo and I was hooked . So I sold my 2009 KTM HT Racing 280 . Now I am looking at USED Bergs . I got to DEMO my buddies FE 450 today . I got to ride it 35 miles , at my local riding spot . Single track ( TIGHT !) ATV trails , fireroads, hill climbs. The BERG !! 2009 FE 450 loaded out with extras , in stock 1 ( girly ) mapping with sparky in . Flexxbars, GPR, new tires, supension work ft/rear, and tons of add ons ! At first I thought yall were crazy about this being a single track bike . I was afraid of it ! Mapping 1 is POWERFULL !! I came off a 450, 525, 250XCF , and a 280 XCFW . So I have been around a few KTMS . After about 20 mins , the Berg clicked . It felt so nimble , bike was deceiving FAST . I thought I was going slow , then I had to STOP ! Almost blew out corner . I was running 3rd gear in single track most of the day , working the clutch . I was slower today , trying to protect hurt shoulder . Also going slower because I was on a demo bike . But I rode it hard , fast as I could go , being on a different bike , so everything was new to me . When I stood up the bike felt even better , so smooth . The power was so smooth but still a 450 . I could not believe the ride , this thing sucked up everything I threw at it . On my 2009 , I could NEVER feel 100% confident on the roots and corners . This bike is not even set up for me yet . I felt right at home on the 450, very smooth , very nimble . Best bike ever rode so far . I few tight places ( almost trials section ) , I just stood up , worked the clutch , and never put my foot down . One spot , I ALWAYS put a foot down , very hard tight , hard to go through . The Berg went right though it , DID I TELL YALL HOW SMOOTH it is . I still think for me the 390 would be a better fit , but this 450 was almost perfect . I will never ever use the power of the 450 , but its FUN ! Bike NEVER felt heavy , never got tried . This bike just hooked up , anywhere !! Very smooth in the single track . I almost boiled the radiator on one SLOW section . It bubbled but never spit . My buddies said I did good on bike . I was alittle slower , but I did not want to waste my buddies bike , if I crashed . SO I am going to buy a Berg , just have to figure out which one . New $7500.00, used racer bike under $6000 ( needs TLC ) , or my demo bike today $7000.00 FIRM . I offered $6500.00 in cash today and he said NO ! I am going to throttle cam the bike . The bike did Backfire at airfilter ? today 4-5 times , but I was under heavy load , maybe in wrong gear ? ( still learing ) . My buddy said never backfired on him , maybe sparky and stage 1 ? Not sure . Bike did great ! Also has a oil leak (dip ) behind the front sprocket . Can that seal be pulled easy ? Thanks for all your HELP !! Looks like a Berg in my nere future . Getting USED to save some cash . New 2010 Berg 390 is to much


Glad to find a BERG site !!! I do hate the BLUE though ..... going ALL black and white on my Berg with BLACK rims !!!!!
 
gooch,
Welcome aboard. Enjoy your enthusiasm, but must make one correction.

This is not a Husaberg site, this is THE Husaberg enthusiast's site.

sounds good to me !! THE ONLY Husaberg site !! Remember I am a newbie . I am Goochy on all other sites , I had a very hard time registering. Its mine now , just paid my buddy . He gave me all stock parts ( new ) springs, 2 tubes, extra seat , trials tire , alot of good stuff.
 
Hi gooch again, congrats on your new steed. your oil leak is a simple fix & is most
likely the o-ring & not seal right behind sprocket.Pull front spkt then remove collar
behind o-ring is next.You may want to replace it with a thicker one we have plenty of
both.
 
Hey gooch welcome to the club you'll love the bike!

Each to their own but I just have to tell you (and I am probably not alone here) the blue gives me a slight stirring in the loins when I see it :oops:

RE: Re: Newbie Berg Owner

Hey Gooch, happy for you but i think you may be getting over excited.
You wanted a 390 right, and now you have a good deal on 450.
But, you are now paying out on all plastics to black/white or orange? and a set of black wheels.
You might wanna get the calculator out mate :lol:

not getting plastic yet , wheels are FREE ( trading ) . I'll run it as is , for now . The Blue on the tank is OK , I just hate the seat cover and the wheels . Sent seat to EE to get a TALL Firm , with Black cover . The stock seats are to HARD 8O . I have stock and stock tall , 2 seats came with bike . BOTH SUCK !!!! Black Shrouds are only $60.00 , so I could change it out to black/white cheap , but going to wait . so no where near what a 390 would cost . I also think in girly setting ( mapping 1 and sparky in ) the 450 is smooth as the 390 . THANKS Boss for info !!

I'm sure the 450 is pretty smooth in any setting.
Iknow my dealer after riding all the models reckons the fe450 is the best here in UK (no deserts here!)
Its getting wet, and slippery here in the UK and in 4 weeks, i get to ride all the models back to back in woods, open , jumps etc for a few laps on each. I will come back on here with a clubmans ride report of each.
That reminds me, i must change my orange ktm mug for a blue one.
The coffee tastes ok but i think it will taste better in the blue one.

Cheers,

Nick

Please don't turn your Husaberg orange. I'm all for customization, but why make it look like a KTM.
 
This Blue is Ok , just do not like blue ................ Black seat and black rims do look better .
