Hi to everyone, I´m a new member from Spain, sorry about my english, I´ll try to do my best. I´m glad to know about this site. Here in Spain there is not to much information about Husaberg.
I have been riding enduro since 1995. My first "big" bike was a Montesa Enduro H6 360 from 1980. Then I had several KTM EXC 250 2strokes, a EXC 300 ( a very good one) with this one I was racing for my regional Enduro Championship for two years, wich I enjoied it a lot. Then I had to sell everything in 2001 because money problems, and in 2004 I found one of my "dream" motorbikes, Honda CR500, in a very good shape. I have been using it for enduro for 3 years now, and I´m very happy with it. I love the engine. But now I´m looking for something newer. In 2001 I tried a Husaberg 400 and loved it. It is very stable, very light. I´m 6,2 feet tall and found it very nice for tall people. But it is the only Husaberg that I ever tried. Here where I live there are no Husabergs at all, so I´m not able to speak to enyone about them or to try any new model. Here the people are saying that Husabergs are not reliable, but I don´t think so. I still thinking in buying one. But wich one. Between 550 or 650. About the 550 I have read a few spanish magazines, and I like it, but never about the 650, never. So I would like to know things about it, most of all, about the engine, hp, torque, type of riding (low, mid, high revs). If somebody could give me information about it or tell me any web site where I can read any test or any information, I will appreciate it. Also, if somebody who has had a cr500 and can give me any comparation, will be great.
Beacuse I love the CR500 engine, I think that the 650 will be a better choice for me, but I would like to know your opinion.
Thanks a lot for your help.
