It doesn't look, or sound particularly nuts...just rather good!

Take hand grenade, add more explosive, what could possibly go wrong! I'd like a go, not own it though.

Re: TurboTard
I thought the later bikes (post '04) were supposed to be reliable enough. It was the early ones with busted valve springs/engine auto-destruct and fuel pumps that generally failed to pump on days with a 'y' in.

Re: TurboTard
I seem to recall most Berg riders having issues, except one bloke who I used to chat to at the Ace, he had a late one and commuted daily on it, he always kept railing against the unreliability stories as his was great. So maybe late ones were OK?
I nearly bought one before my Duke 2 but the brand new demo bike was a pig to start and its lary ways not lary enough to get it as an only bike.

Re: TurboTard
I knew a couple of people that had pre KTM Husabergs, one had a 550 which seemed to be okay, one had a 650 that had a lot of problems, but the 650 owner was a lot quicker rider than the 550 rider.
This Husaberg is a rebadged KTM.

Honestly, whoever came up with that idea must’ve been having the best day of their life. Looks ridiculous but somehow works.
