Still wish I had the blue rims

I like the silver....:D

[Mtnseeker1]

63.5* rake looks a little long to me but they are very pretty.
What does that wheel base work out to? I'm thinking about 60".
I'm sure they turn on a dime.

Awesome bike, the videos will mess with a guys mind.

Uhhhh yep, guilty. :crazy:

Here we go... :naughty:

[Mtnseeker1]

I can only see a few things wrong with these bikes.


1- Just to darn good looking.
2- I don't have one sitting in my garage.
3- I can see that I soon am going to be trying to keep up with a slug of these things in the hands of riders I can't keep up with now.

Nice review: 2010 Husaberg FE 390 vs. The Red Bull Romaniacs - Race Test (http://www.dirtrider.com/features/web_extra/141_0912_2010_husaberg_fe_390_red_bull_romaniacs/viewall.html#ixzz1mhPEKhAz)

[Mtnseeker1]

Nice job acca!
So it's basically a 450 short stroke then?
So just how do you set them up for more fuel?

Well that's two blue and yellows. Whose next? :lol8:

I'm thinking you just found the perfect trail bike.

[Garbanzo]

Next Saturday...in a crate with my name on it. :naughty:


Someone is excited. Happy happy!

[Garbanzo]

So just how do you set them up for more fuel?
.

They make a really trick subframe tank that adds 1 gallon. It actually mounts to the subframe under the seat, and doesn't compromise the mass centralization of weight. It's also gadawful expensive!! They also make bigger main tanks, but they're even more costly. I'm going for the subframe tank. That's my two cents worth. Back to the important stuff. The new 390!! Can't wait to see it.

[accadacca]

Subframe tank... http://www.70degreeracing.com/services.html

Few other options: http://justgastanks.com/index.php?cPath=4_203_204

[accadacca]

These guys make some SERIOUS tanks...yikes!

http://safaritanksusa.com/products_new.php

[Mtnseeker1]

I like the idea of the subframe tank.
I think it makes for a better trail addition by keeping the weight of the front end.

So that makes a total of what 3.25 if using the sub tank?

I remember looking at the Safari's and they are nice but not cheap.
Seems more guys were using the Acerbis Sahara tanks on the XR so that's the way I went.
I think I got a smoking deal on mine at $269. For the 6.3 gln. new.

[accadacca]

Wow, even better article: http://www.cycletorque.com.au/2012-Husaberg-FE-390/

:naughty:

[Mtnseeker1]

The more I look at this bike the more I like it.
All but the price tag.
Seems to be well thought out and designed.

I know it's not an moto -x bike but I'm thinking the whoops may just be a smooth blast.

[Garbanzo]

Whoops, what whoops? Don't even notice them. Jk. My arms hurt.

[Mtnseeker1]

That is funny cause I feel much more comfortable on the brp in the whoops than I do the YZ but it may just be a getting used to the bike kind of thing.

[Garbanzo]

The Husa feels really light, but soaks up everything really well.

[Mtnseeker1]

Ya I have a feeling that the rear tires last longer as well with that suspension.

[Garbanzo]

Acca just brought the bike home and stopped by my place. Is it really bad to say I'm a bit Jealous?:facepalm1: I really love my new ride, but the 390 is BAD ASS!:hail2thechief: OMG what a beautiful bike! :2thumbs:

[accadacca]

Getting closer...plate tomorrow.

Goodies so far:
Sicass street kit
OEM frame guards
EE hand guards
Subframe gas tank on order

I put 1.3 hours on the motor pissing off the neighbors and now it's got the first oil change.

[Deathcricket]

Dude that thing is a POS!!! But I really like you and feel bad. Tell ya what, I will buy it off you for a fair price, immediately. I would even be willing to drive the 4 hours to your house to get it right now. It's a little out of my way, but you are such a good friend and I feel like helping you in your time of need. Leaving right now to come get it!!!

I sincerely appreciate your trying to get me out of a bad position,but I'm so upside down on this garbage bike it just wouldn't be worth selling. I couldn't charge charge you what I owe without feeling horrible. I guess I'll just have to swallow my pride and ride it for a while. I just hope I don't overhear the mumbling of other riders. :cry1: We are some funny bastards, aren't we?:lol8:

Nice ride Grandpa Husa! :haha:

[Reedus]

nothing against the bergs, but the KTM 530 is so much more aesthetically pleasing to the eye. If I had 5800 cash, id take it off your hands.

Well maybe but it might just be old school as well.

However I love the colors of the new ride myself.
PRICK:lol8:

New plastic and wolfman bag. :ride:

Obsessed...

[REDFOX]

Where did you put the new plastic ?

[accadacca]

Shrouds and handguards after my pops tipped it over. It really wasn't bad at all, but you know how I like to keep em.

Plus it gave me an excuse to order the 2012 shrouds. :ride:

[Mtnseeker1]

:lol8: sorry bro I was thinking the new stuff would be for a later date. Bling is BLing.

[REDFOX]

Did the shrouds come with the stickers installed or did you have to put them on ?

Funny thing about spending 10K.

[Mtnseeker1]

But hay don't feel bad as I think I have bought myself the boat and ancher.
This dam YZ is costing me a small mint to get things right.

And it is time for the motor top end? I'm about to break even with the cost of purchase and the cost to get her right.

[Mtnseeker1]

I guess I just got real lucky with the Honda 01 it has basically been nothing but upgrades and not catch up .

Smoothest bike I have ever rode for sure. Thanks Garbo.

But I am in need of that dreaded kick for my simple pleasures :lol8: Hey I'm very old school and need that simple nock your ass of the seat hit power. I'm addicted to it baby.:dizzy: Got to love it.:haha:

[Garbanzo]

I like the kick too. Its just not optimum for any riding other than track riding. It took a few months of riding it to figure it out. I fought the idea until I had some experience with it. I can trials-bike lug, then run it up to 90mph. Very few bikes will do that. I will not consider another brand for upgrade other than kTM or Husa. ;)

You already know just because I give you all so much crap it is for one reason and one reason only---------I'M FREAKIN JEALOUS

[Mtnseeker1]

So acca have you ever regretted selling your KTM ?
It was what about 30 maybe 45 lbs heavier but a big bore so to speek?

[accadacca]

Actually my 530 wasn't heavier. They are about the same weight. No regrets, the Husa is light years ahead. Seriously.

[moab mark]

One of our buddies bought the new KTM 500. I haven't rode it yet but another buddy has a 530 and said the 500 feels light years ahead of his 530. They could not believe how crisp the fuel injection is.

[accadacca]

Yep, the fuel injection is huge, among other things. It has an updated frame, engine and suspension too.

[Mtnseeker1]

Husa bikes are different
The only dirt bike around that says yes to x-ring chains.
Everyone tells you o-ring. Muddy puppies for sure.:lol8:

THey are strange in the fact they don't seem to hit hard anywhere.
Like a diesel or an electric bike or something.
They just keep going faster and faster but don't seem to break much traction in doing so.

It seems to take out the fun factor but instead takes you where ever you want to go.
Strange little blue things.:roflol:

[Mtnseeker1]

Now that I have given you Husa boys enough crap if you can send me in the direction of a slightly used one with just a chance of trade in or just phone numbers?
Send me a heads up. I do want something I can make street legal for those odd rides.
Light and snappy please. May even give the 2-t 's a looksie but then again.:lol8:

[REDFOX]

Try cycletrader for the husa's. I have been looking at the bikes in Texas.

[Garbanzo]

Edge Motorsports has 2013 Husa's on their floor. Heaven help me. :eek:

[REDFOX]

Yes I do like how the husa's ride. I have had my eye on a couple of them in Denton, Tx. I have a good friend that lives there and he drives to Utah a couple of times a year. He is driving to Salt Lake in January and I know that if I had the funds that he would gladly deliver it to me.

I scoff at this perpetual flattery. As a Husa owner, I need no reassurance of their dominance in the field of Enduro. Does anyone have any Grey Poupon? :screwy:

Thank God KTM built one right in between 500 xc-w :)

[Mtnseeker1]

2.51 and has been tested to the grand canyon at 150miles on the stocker but only by a bees breath lol.

Remember stock is the key word here and not a dime more LMAO.

For 297 smacks I can run my fuel injection in a 5 gallon tank.

Yes sir up front and under my ball sack.

[Mtnseeker1]

Sounds un real but remember this is the trip I did with Don on his 1973 Yamaha 360 DT and we only rode between 40 and 50 miles per hour and I do have the wide six gear set up:2thumbs:

If you and I ride together I know if I get 75 on a full tank it will just be a great day.:lol8::ne_nau: What can I say ????

Jarrod did the entire Paiute with a 2 liter soda bottle of gas duct taped to his backpack. $400 is pretty steep, I thought my desert tank for the YZ at $200 was expensive.
