Hi what FE650 fuel consumption for desert racing could I expect ?? I am guessing 10-14 Km/litre does that sound about right ?

Most of you know I am a big guy who found my Fe450 to be a fantastic woods bike, but coming up short in the Desert. Well actually I now have discovered the 450 is a great Desert and open bike too. It was not coming up short at all. It was coming up TALL. Trouble with a newbie rider like me...

I have come to the conclusion that the stock Husaberg tires (2005) are terrible in the sand. Even though I am not a sand fan that is about 50% of the terrain here. Its now time for some new rubber and I was looking at the MaxxCross Desert IT tires. Has anyone tried them? What makes for a...

I just booked a trip to Morocco to do some riding (1700 km’s, 1050 mls?) through the Atlas Mountains from Fez to Marrakech and now I feel like the luckiest guy on this planet. Of course I will take my Husaberg (’03 FE501E) with me! Somehow in Holland we manage to live without any...

Took my 03 501 out to the west Utah desert Saturday. It was the first time I really got to see what the bike would do out in the open. The 501 was great. The suspension, handling and motor performance was awesome. The motor ran great with the Amsoil 10/40 in 40 degree weather as well. Mark
