VERY cool video. They sure know how to market a bike.

They are taking a LOT of flack over killing the 70 degree design and pretty much throwing blue fenders on a KTM. Read the comments on the video. Which is pretty much the feedback from everywhere I have read on the web... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQn3YzHlipc&feature=plcp
SWEET looking bike though...no doubt. I've got my eye on the 350...but it would be hard to part with my 390 right now. I just LOVE my bike! :ride:

It looks like they still have their identities. Really don't like the shrouds on the ktm. Too much tank showing.

Yeah, after looking the two over side by side I prefer the Berg. I like the lines and trick design. It really makes the KTM look vanilla. I dig the colors better too.

OK just because I'm the prick that I am does this get some real gas for the oh you know long run?

I'd imagine that the larger KTM tanks will fit the new bergs. Plus more aftermarket support in that area. Switching the air filter back to side panel makes it easier to swap tanks. The 2013 design also has 2.50 gallons stock, which is a touch more than the previous berg...

[Garbanzo]

I guess I'm just used to it now. The fuel thing is not an issue. The bike is so superior in engine design and handling, making concessions for more fuel is no thing. The alternative is a huge tank on the front that not only looks ridiculous, but completely changes the handling characteristics of the bike. If I base my purchase on fuel, is buy Klr 650! The new husa will definitely have more tank options. Once (if ever) we get the subframe tanks, there won't be a better option. 3.2 gallons with only 2.1 on the front. Very trick, but obsolete. Nice. I prefer rare and exclusive! :D

I won't be in the market for a new bike anytime soon, but when I am, it will be a Husa.

I wont be in the market for a new one anytime soon and I'm pretty sure after all this shit it will not be a burggy.
People might think I'm some kind off a preppy boy.:fitz:

Sorry boys I had to do it.
But truth is I love a race bike that just plain ole hits hard period.
I could careless if it has not the same traction but I am big on the thrill of a big 4-t that hits so darn hard it is hard to sit on and scares the living shit right out of you like right now baby.

Might have a lot to do with my experience but I am a cheap ass bugger and want a bike that will do Desert races, single tracks as well as MX tracks and everything
between to that type of thinking.
You know me and I am up for it.
And hell I don't e en ride a recluse it is all clutch baby.

Oh and at less than half the cost. Sorry but I just don't buy it yet.

But then again I ride here in America and mostly Desert stuff and I am just fine with that but show me some mud and roots and I will ride mine there as well.

Just some dumb basturd that likes to ride whatever. You know me so lets get to ridding.

Hoky crappy yes they are very pretty-feel better?


Better still after all this euro horse shit I may just step back to a 250 2-t Yammy hammy or better known as a yamydog. For good reason.

It really does not matter to me one way or the other as long as we ride brothers.
Your colors have no input on the fun factor, But showing up does.
But if by chance you think you got us all bagged by color and make ,Then get your sorry ass out to the next desert race and lets have some real fun brothers and sisters. **** yeh bring it baby bring it.
There is one in Bendover and then one that should be epic in grouse creek area 2 weeks latter.

Hey ? Bring it or at least what ever you got boys LOL I think I'll put my money on Chet's new CR 500 but catch us if you can and yes that is the invite for your non hitting blue balls and gold euro bitches LMAO. If that don't get you fired up well hell ??????????????????


OH SLAM IT'S ON NOW GIRLS.

[Mtnseeker1]

It most likely will have sections like American Fork and Warner Valley and everything inbetween. I don,t know if your up for it but you have the bikes to try if nothing else? Maybe.


So lets just forget the vids of what they do in another country and get it on bro here in the good old USA!

[Mtnseeker1]

Nothing like the rush of heated battle on the dirt to get the juices flowing.

It's like 50 bucks to get in plus or minus.

Be very careful though it is highly additive. LMFAO you love it and return for more trust me.

Wow dood, you need to start wearing a respirator when building model airplanes. That glue is getting to you!

Btw. My 570 was less than a new Jap450. Scott's was a lot less. I realize we are a bit smitten, but the bikes are that good. Yes, I get a little defensive. Spank me!

Yep, they are THAT good. :cool2:

I grew up riding Honda's though and they could very well be my second favorite brand. :ride:

[nelsonccc]

Have to admit that 2-stroke, electric start, 300cc looks pretty awesome! I love that sculpted look they have. Though....it would be hard to move from my beloved 2-stroke YZ250. It just seems that the bike is an absolute tank. I've owned it for over ten years now, rebuilt the clutch and the bottom and top ends all myself. Easy to work on, cheap to maintain and absolutely indestructible.

Sometimes I'm a bit jealous of the straight away power of Jarrod's 450 but once in the tight stuff I think the YZ excels!

[accadacca]

My friend is looking at buying a 2013 Husaberg TE 300. He's got an invoice for $8,500. They don't seem to be budging off that price. It's a high demand bike. That quite a bit cheaper than a 4 stroke... :naughty:

[Mtnseeker1]

Hmm seems to me the last time I looked it would be sixes price wise with a KTM and we all know that they are not cheap.:lol8:

But I think your right with the prices of all the 2013 models with maybe the exception of Suzuki. And I'm sure that will change now.:facepalm1:

To architect's "built it myself" is far different than when a contractor says it... Is it the same when you speak rebuilding the top and bottom ends?

Oh no you diint! Damn, where's the love? I mean that i removed the engine from the frame, split it, removed the tranny and bottom end and replaced with one purchased off Ebay. I personally did not pour any molten metal in my garage to 'make' a tranny. Asshat.

[Mtnseeker1]

I rode a KTM yesterday it was just a 400 and I was wondering when the power would show up.

However when I ride behind it in the trails I am hard pressed to keep up.

It does not hit hard and when you need to put the front end up it does it like a daisy.

It was very hard to get use to the Hydro. clutch and It did turn nice however and I mean very nice and responsive.
It did not seem very fast but when I'm chasing it, It is hard to real in.:ne_nau:
Almost seems like your not ridding it hard when your trying to.

A world of difference compared to the hard hitting YZ.

Personally I like race bikes but I would love to have a trials bike to play on in these desert canyons with bad ass dry waterfalls.
Best of both worlds.

TE 300 vs 300 XC-W

Which would you choose? :naughty:

I would like to try either one of those bikes on a trail. I wonder if they can lug or if they are low geared like your 390, and can go fast on the flats. Are they both electric start ?

[accadacca]

Yup, magic button on both.

[moab mark]

I would choose neither. Had a buddy that had a 12 ktm 300 we all rode it a ton and could never get comfortable with the motor. I like the lugging ability of a 4 stroke. Yes it will lug but when it starts to crawl onto the pipe it tries to remove you from the seat. For those that ride very aggressively it would be a great bike, but for old farts it was not for us. He sold it and got a KTM 350, he loves it. On a side note if you have not been moto riding behind Woodside you all better hit it. Some of the best desert riding in Utah. We were down there again yesterday.

[moab mark]

I was not on the ride but one of our other buddies rides a 300 and he invited one of his buddies who has the Husa 300. They all felt like it was a much nicer bike? The guy on the 09 KTM 300 now wants a Husa 300? :facepalm1:

You know the 4-stroke:-)

Just bought a new 2013 Husaberg 350. Major dissapointment in all ways. To get to the core, the bike, after 100 miles has a fuel injection pump failure, total meltdown of the system. I was 25 miles into the backcountry and the bike shut down and failed to re-start. I bought this bike from Mototech in Boise, and they are trying to troubleshoot the issue, but really do not have a solution, other than replace the pump and try again! In fact, I am not certain they have the expertise in house to troubleshoot this problem. I am very concerned, from some previous posts on KTM fuel injection pumps, that this may be a design issue regarding heat from the exhaust system in its proximity to the fuel injection pump. I am not a mechinal guy, so do not pretend to understand all the ins and outs of the fuel injection design, but everyone should beware, that this is not an isolated problem with KTM. I would appreciate any other experiences or comments from ayone else who has experienced this issue..

[accadacca]

The earlier Husaberg's (70 degree design) had some fuel pump issues too, but they must have got them sorted before I got my 2011 390. No problems whatsoever, same goes for Garbanzo on his '11 570.

I'm 99% sure the KTM's are running the same pumps. Hopefully it is isolated and a new pump will solve it. I think mine had a replacement pump before I got it. Like I said, the 10-11's had it, but it was dialed by mid '11.

[Garbanzo]

As Acca stated, the fuel pump issue was resolved in 2011. There were lots of problems prior to that. My 2011 570 has 140 hrs on it with no issues. This has to be very frustrating. We bought both of ours from Mototech and they really didn't impress me as far as technical help. I wish I had an answer, but it may just be a matter of getting on the "unofficial Husaberg" forum and scope the fuel section for answers. :confused:

There are so many out there that want the 70* motor back and are waiting till they bring it back.:ne_nau: Just been reading to much lately I guess.

[accadacca]

They could bring back the 70 degree in a Husqvarna.

[Mtnseeker1]

That my friend is one scarry thought but I can just see it.
