I'm thinking about another bike, but have no idea about what to get, i know KTM's are substandard over the Husabergs "we all know that , but orange boys are just kidding themselves", so maybe a TM 250 or a Aprilla RXV 550. Maybe i go back to basics and get a WR, klx or a DR, maybe i just wait for the RMX450 to get ADR compliance.
i would really like a CRE500 with full reg!!!
Tell us what i should be riding??

I dont think you can buy the Aprilia new anymore. It would be good to have something different. I had thoughts of an Aprilia a while back but I get out riding so few times a year I could not justify the money on a new bike.

Pete, I have the bike for you, two stroke, 48 more CC's more than that 500CRE, Full Road Reg, only thing that lets it down is it's a KTM but it is an old school one with a good confident front end. I've only ever done 160kmh plus a hand full of times on it...

Love the Berg, but need to start the ball rolling for another bike, might just get a new 570 if nothing fits the bill !!

Maybe wait for the TM600 enduro. Sounds like a beast, you should be able to legs behind the ears mono's on that one.
An Aprillia RXV550? That will make a Honda CRF look reliable. 95% of them sold are still out there, the other 5% made it back.

Time to come clean Pee Air, it's the Stegs pegs ain't it - they dont work down hill do they?
How many k's and dollars on the old berg?
Really don't know what to suggest to replace it with though.
There would be some CR500's sitting around that just need a new set of rings and off you ding, if your serious of course.

Steg pegs seem to stop you sliding back up or down hills, they keep you stable whenever your standing, i never intended them for down hills, just up the buggers. Anyway "Bikes" i might as well keep the Berg as there's nothing new around at the moment that makes me quiver. |
