Remember to add the extras to the price. Like a previous post, all the extra gear for enduro riding. You gotta love it. Current ride Husky 510 and will never sell it.  Great point, thank you. Yep, I've got some separate funds set aside for all the essentials, and a few nice to have's as well. Wife doesn't need to know about that part however, let's just focus on the cost of the bike  |

This is all doing my head in, but MAN it's FUN!!!!
If that's the worst of your troubles, you're doing alright! If you have narrowed it down to a Berg 390 or a Huski 310, you probably won't be disappointed with the outcome. And when you're keeping funds aside for 'incidentals', don't forget $60 for AMTRA membership (if not already done). Cheap investment for the advise you've received! Good luck with the decision. |

I can't comment on the 390's as I've never ridden one, but people who have them love them, at 9k if its got all the good protective bits on it and its been well maintained then that could be a good option and 1200 k's is nothing, we did 660ks in one desert ride last year.
With the money saved by buying second hand you can have the suspension set up for you and a bit of a tidy up and a new set of tyres for not much over 10k, but there is nothing like a new bike and the Huskys come with a twelve month warranty

Again guys, thanks very much for all the help!
So I've done a lot of reading and looking today and I've added another option to the mix, the 2012 Husaberg FE390. There is one for private sale at the moment quite close to me, they are asking $9K and it has 1200Kms on the clock. I know that's quite a few clicks, and I can get a new (2012 plate) 390 for around $11K with full reg, so I'm tossing up whether it's worth saving the $2K for the risk of a second hand bike.
I looked at the Husky TE310 about 30 minutes ago and it looks very nice. For the MY12 it's about the $10K with full reg, so then the questions becomes do you spend the extra $1K and get the Husaberg?
This is all doing my head in, but MAN it's FUN!!!!
I too will be at daylesford ride day and I have a Berg 390 you could sample if you so wish. Only thing I,m worried about is you may not give it back ,cos its all that and more Seano PS.With a husky you will need a suspension job ,with the berg you wont,so make sure you add this to the equasion |

No such thing as underpowered bikes these days. 250's in both 2 and 4 strokes have more power than any sane person needs. My XR200 keeps up with general trail traffic on level 2 rides.

I'm easily pleased, just give me the best of everything! On a more serious note, saving a couple of thousand isn't the end of the world if the Berg is worth the extra, it's just the dilemma of deciding if indeed it is! |

To everyone who has offered to let me have a ride on the Daylesford day, a HUGE thank you and I will definitely take you up on the kind offer. That is of course if the money doesn't burn a hole in my pocket and MAKES me buy something in the next couple of weeks |

PS.With a husky you will need a suspension job ,with the berg you wont,so make sure you add this to the equasion
That's interesting to know, thanks. Why will I need the suspension adjusted on the Husky? And what would that set me back? |

Any bike will need the suspension set up for its pilot, if you're old fat and slow buy a berg and ride around on it and enjoy picking up 200 kg's when you drop it, or buy a Husky 310 and get a lean mean fighting machine that weighs the same as a 250 two stroke!!! |
