Hey Al, thats interesting about your bike. Is yours the US model or the other. Do you know what the difference is ? And if your reading this Seano, what is that web site with the cheap tires and cheap delivery ??

For good priced tyres and reasonable delivery have a look at rocky mountain atv. They have a lot of other good stuff as well.

Around the $700 mark is the best to spend for delivery value

+1 on AL.C's comment...

Come-on "gjws", buy something, anything...
As long as it's got two wheels and an engine you'll be fine.

So I almost certainly plan on ordering a Husaberg 390 on Tuesday, unless something drastic happens over the long weekend and I fall in love with the KTM350. I am taking the KTM350 for a ride on Monday, up in Shepperton, just to help solidify the final decision on the 390.

I've been looking at the 2013 KTM350, and the 2012 Berg 390 in detail. The Berg is a little cheaper, and I was considering the resale element as well, but honestly I think I'll be keeping this bike for many years and given my laid back riding style I believe the 390 will suit me best.

Well that's sounding positive.

Sometimes it can be a relief when a decision is made.

Congratulations.

Well I finally did it! Put down a deposit today on a shiny new FE390, picking her up next week.  Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin

Thanks again to everyone for your advice, it made the decision much easier.

I'm going to take next Thursday or Friday off and clock up a few KMS, now I just need to find someone that can take a day off late next week and come riding with me!

I haven't thought that far ahead Smiley

I live in Melbourne so anywhere within a couple of hours is fine with me. Open to any suggestions!

Congrats gjws, travel a bit further and hook up with a Wiggy 390 ride.

Wiggy is "Mr laid back" I'm sure you would enjoy.

Next friday is Good Friday Grin so nearly every one has the day off, should be no problem to find someone to ride with.
