Opinions on 2000 FE600E

I had a 2000 FX600E once. It was an amazing bike. Never had a problem with it. I would still have it had I not gotten in a head-on collision and bent the frame. Still have parts of it in another bike that I put together. You're right that it was a transitional year. Many feel that the 2000 was the best year because it had the new chassis and the engine had the benefit of 11 years of refinement. The holy grail for me would be to find a 2000 FC600 because I don't need the battery, electric starter, and counter balancer.

As far as parts availability, there are so many of these bikes being parted out right now that it shouldn't be a problem...except for the parts that are unique to the 2000 engine. And, as far as I know, that would really only be the hydraulic clutch.

Incidentally, I liked that bike so much that I have basically built another. I have a 2003 frame with the suspension and plastics from the old FX600 and the engine is from a '94 FE600 parts bike that I picked up. I find that, with the proper cable routing, I don't really miss the juice clutch anyway and the older engine sans oil pump is definitely simpler.

Pretty much every Berg enthusiast will agree that the 2000 models were the best of the "real Husabergs"
I wish I had never sold my 99 Fe400

I only look for 04-08s. But if I would make an exception it would be the 2000 Fe600 just because it was cool, unique and reliable.

I have an electric start FE600e engine here from 2000.

build a better bike!!!

Taffy

Nice looking bike
