Out with the New In with the New Husaberg Time

The Berg

The motor is rotated 180 degrees from top to bottom,
and inclined forward at 70 degrees from vertical

I have been leaning towards the dirt lately. As such, I went ahead and put down a deposit on this badass 2011 Husaberg FE 570S. An uncompromising 100% street legal enduro, and an innovative engineering feat with its laid down 70 degree motor, this bike is a lightweight beast that will rip your face off.

Ill be running the 18"/21" DOT knobbies for the next several months. However, it will likely be doing double duty as a trail murderer and a nice little supermoto in the future when I can spring for 17" wheels, a cush drive hub, 320 mm brake rotor, and maybe some suspender adjustments.

Picking it up next Saturday, March 17th. I suspect it should be a lot of fun...
