rode

This past weekend I rode my 01 fe650 in a local enduro. Last year I attempted the last enduro of the year but a broken cam chain very early in the first timed section ended my day. The culprit was a cam sprocket bolt that backed out and jammed the chain. The berg is my only road plated bike and...

Wellllll ... There's a 2010 model 570 for sale locally with 35 hours on the clock. It's got a 70-degree subframe tank and mapping switch! Plus a header guard and what look like aftermarket handlebar clamps with vibration damping, Bib Mousse in the rear tire, plus some other odds and ends...

Test rode an '05 Husaberg FE 550 this week. DAMN what a glorious machine. Low-hour bike, very clean specimen. And of course completely different from the Suzuki DR-Z400 I currently own. The word that best describes the 550's power is unreal. It's not brutal, angry or monstrous, it is absolute...

The snow is melting and I took my NEW shiny bike out for a street ride today! Oh what JOY! I even got a plate from the DMV of MN I couldn't believe it, so easy :bounce3: Just did 1/2 hour and 8 miles of easy city riding in 1-3 gears. Should I crank it or just take it easy for the break in as...

Hi Lads, Just swapped bikes with a mate of mine who has a brand new KTM 690 Supermoto (fuel injected 2008 model). Here is my (biased) comparison to my Berg FS650e: - General impression Feels very sturdy. High-quality build. Sits well-posed. Comfy seat, much comfier than on the Berg...

I just got back from the dealer meeting where we had the chance to ride the 2009 Berg's. What an awesome bike! Hit me up if you want some info.

well, my butt is begging me to stray from the 04 550 if not just for the occasional ride. the 501 fired first kick and ran damn well. felt very light compared to my 04 550 and seemed much more manuverable. feels as if it may be easier to handle in the tight woods.. I have a few trusted...

It was an early meet at 6:30am and we got to ride with other locals, Ken my son and Ken the Berger. Now, why so early, well, if you go here you'll understand why. The problem is that it gets hot real fast and you'll understand why in a minute this was a problem for this first ride...

Well, ran my new Berg today and it is definitely as fast or faster than my old CR500! One problem, on jumping several stream beds in succession, I FU'd on the last one and ran off the trail and into a HUGE bush, snapping off my front fender right under the headlight (where the two vertical...

Installed a 48 pilot, raised needle one notch from stock, 192 main Riding locally, 500 ft to 2500 ft ASL with 115 F temps, bike starts great and runs great. Went up north for the weekend. 8500 ft ASL, 70 F temps. Bike started normal. bottom end power was better than at home. So...

Four of us started out on some 4 foot wide trails to warm-up and get loose. Then off in the sandwashes and the singletrack, (one section is nicknamed the slot car track) The guy on the CRF 450 had a little trouble keeping up in the tight twisting turns. When we hit the single track, he fell...
