One for you off road guys,

Whats your overall opinion of husaberg's?

Been offered 1 for good money with loads of spares supermoto and enduro wheels

Lookin for an enduro for a bit of fun and to commute to work on while project rex 2 gets some lovin.

If you had around 2k to spend what would you get?

Id go for it Si.
Had a CRM honda in the UK and I can tell you off road is top fun.
I learnt one hell of a lot about bike control too. Wouldnt say it doesnt bother me when the back steps out on the road but I dont have a cardiac either.
I just know its gonna come back in line.

The Husaburg is a cracking bike......if you get a goodun. Like all bikes I suppose. Usual checks apply but pay particular attention to all the bearings and bushes.
They take a lot more of a hammering off road than a road bike.

TBH M8 if you buy it Ill be jealous.

I gotta say their chain saws run flawlessly, i wouldnt say they where tempremental at all, but then thats chalk and cheese i have no experience of the bike

When i was riding motox the consensus was always "Never buy a bike beginning with Hus".Reliability wasn't up there with the japanese stuff and spares availability was piss poor

Some quite mixed opinions so far, i'll have to find out a little more as to the spec

A the end of the day Si, do you have a local specialist to go to if you get any major  issues? if the answer is no then i'd avoid

I'm withR1 and Yogi pal, they are lovely and I had a Husq TE610E for a while but worried the whole time about reliability, no drama's but I wouldn't risk another as when they go wrong it costs more than the purchase price to fix those motors and I completely agree to avoid anything Hus     get a Dr400 instread

Not a good pic but its all i have for now, this is a propper head heart moment.
